Micatech Pilot Luggage and V-2 panniers, top cases, luggage racks and accessories include all the elements required for adventure touring and off-road riding. The company combines decades of manufacturing experience with a passion for motorcycle riding to bring top-quality products to the adventure touring market.

Micatech product engineers focus on detail and quality. The Pilot and V-Pilot cases for the R1150GS/Adv and R1200GS/Adv feature:

Pilot Cases

V-Pilot Cases
  • Many unique details that make them functional and practical, yet they take a pounding on and off road!
  • Strong, aluminum construction and a wide, side-opening door for easy access to gear – makes packing easier because gear doesn't have to be removed from the top or the seat to open the door
  • Incredibly robust mounting system
  • Integrated handles that utilize a variety of tie down straps
  • Waterproof and dustproof
  • Sized 37L, 45L and 50L to accommodate your needs

V2 Cases with Bag Liner

The Micatech V2 cases can also be mounted to the F800GS/F650GS on strong, tubular side racks that are adjustable to fit your passenger, riding style and load.


Micatech Top Cases are waterproof, dustproof and can be keyed to match the Micatech Panniers:

Top Case with Backrest
  • Top Cases come in three sizes, include four tie-down loops for the top and use four quarter-turn fasteners to "quick mount" in seconds, without tools.
  • For the BMW oilhead GS models, the Top Case can be mounted in the pillion position for solo riding or in the rear position for two-up riding. For other models, the top case is mounted in the rear position only.

Bob Gould, company owner, started riding when he was a teenager. His first BMW was a 1992 R100GS; he's been riding Beemers ever since. In the past 10 years, he's enjoyed off-road riding adventures including the Continental Divide Ride, trips in Costa Rica and in the California desert with RawHyde Off-Road Adventures.

Bob's sheet metal fabrication company in New Hampshire has been in business for over 60 years. In 2005, he merged his business with his hobby and began manufacturing the Micatech Pilot luggage. Over the past years, the product line has grown to include smaller panniers, top boxes, luggage racks and accessories. They have added a line of top quality stainless light bars, durable accessory mounts, Centech kits, horn kits and other specialty accessories for BMW's to improve safety and performance.

Micatech customers have traveled all over the world for their challenging riding adventures, including Alaska, Central and South America, Europe and Australia. Please check the company website at www.micatech.net for customer testimonials, photos and more information about products.
