Zitat von Jamesbranch im Beitrag #1 Givi for me.
My mission in 2019 is to be an even bigger cunt than I was in 2018.
I'm rockin it. |

Zitat von Jamesbranch im Beitrag #1 If you're solo, and not going to be a regular multi-day tourer, I'd consider saving your money and just buying a dry-bag, and a pair of Rok straps to strap down to the pillion seat/ rear rack. Just a thought. Cheers Paul B. |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #3Zitat von Jamesbranch im Beitrag #1 If just for incidental solo trips, best look at soft luggage, like a dry bag as Paul says. I really like my BMW softbags, I have both the smaller (30-35 l) and the large one (50 l). If needed I can mount both, tons of space like that, and nice and light! |

Except for price it's hard to beat the OEM panniers and BMW Soft Bag Small.

Zitat von nrbully im Beitrag #7 I don't know about the Givi mount, but the Shad mounts are actually neater and more elegant than the BMW mounts. Annoyingly, I didn't know that Shad did a system for the RS when I bought mine, and paid full-whack for the BMW panniers and mounts... shad-side-master-3p-system-for-bmw-r1200r-r1200rs.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Cheers Paul B. |

I’m of the opinion that if you are only away for a few days and not taking a pile of clothes and camping gear, a waterproof bag on the pillion works well. When you get to your destination it’s easy to carry, unlike the bulky hard panniers. Also makes it easier to filter through traffic. |

I already had the Monokey boxes so bought a SW Motech set of rails with Givi adapters. Givi only does a V series fitting kit which is fine if starting from fresh. |
Zitat von Cheeseman im Beitrag #10 You've obviously not been away with my wife for a weekend. We're away for two nights in April....... It'll be v35 panniers AND a 55 litre top box.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #13Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #12 I can say without any doubt that I'm sure,he's not got enough luggage on his bike.  My mission in 2019 is to be an even bigger cunt than I was in 2018. |

Zitat von Cheeseman im Beitrag #10 See, my take on that is the opposite; my panniers have lining bags which come straight out; they are also more secure if you have to leave the bike parked up anywhere - even if it's just me being paranoid, I'm always very uneasy leaving soft baggage attached to the bike
