Breweries, Festivals, Tastings, etc.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, I bought a bike where the original owner had paid quite a bit extra for luggage racks. This is great because I believe new these cost $1500 for the set (the same as wha people spend on just their used bike) but for long trips, they\u2019re incredibly important, just as much as my 450 mile range per tank.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the issue with these isn\u2019t that they\u2019re waterproof, it\u2019s that they are metal and when I\u2019m going to a tasting and have a bottle-conditioned beer (aka full of yeast sediment), I want the bottles to be upright and I don\u2019t want the bottles to come in contact with metal. Wrapping the bottles up in a shirt would work but I really wanted added protection because on a long 3 hour ride, the bottles will be shaking slightly from the engine vibration and I don\u2019t want to risk any breaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, I grabbed some flooring material that is $25 for 6&#215;8 of it from Home Depot. It\u2019s designed to go under hard-wood flooring but I basically cut this into squares and duct-taped it to the body of the case. I\u2019m not certain it will hold so I only did 2 of the 3 luggage boxes and we\u2019ll see how it goes!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"View &#039;Insulating \/ Beer-Bottle Carry Mod for Touratech BMW 1200 GSA Cases&#039;
