      The '82+ 850 is very similar to the 1100G so accessory parts should interchange. Take note though that there are differences between the regular G model and the GL cruiser models - accessories like racks may not interchange. And the early model 850/1000G have a different frame so early racks won't fit a later bike unless the rack itself is adjustable.

      The KG Engineering racks with adjustable legs fit a range of different models - the legs telescope and there are side plates with lots of different mounting holes so they will accommodate a range of bikes. These racks are the most widely applicable so you might want to focus on finding one of those.

        Visit your local bike wrecker, but beware some wreckers want an arm and a leg for parts.

          Luggage

          Hello
          I have been using Krauser luggage for the past 34 years without a problem. It's the older style from the 70's. I have a white set on my 79 GS850 and a black set on my 83 GS1100G.
          You can find them on ebay, just key in Krauser in the search window.
          Goodluck.

              The best fit would likely be from a GS1100GK, if it suits you.

              It is not a basic rack, but comes with rails for sidebags.

              I do not know what they sell for now, but shipping is expensive because of the size.

              I bought one for my '82 G, (complete with a bit of road rash that the PO covered with paint). It installed with only minimal work and a few spacers.
