Zitat von Lacessit im Beitrag #13 Meh, I don't mind it. Maybe because its all black but its not that bad.

I lost my 1200 to a deer, and just replaced it with a 1250. I've managed to get the same setup on the new ride except the exhaust, haven't made a decision there yet as a carbon Remus is no longer available. Color choice was the hardest decision, but I stuck with black. |

That's Colorado.... Here today gone tomorrow. That's my St. Patty's day flag in the background. We got about 7inches three days later and it's gone now. We ride every month here. I really like it when I can ride my snowmobile in the mountains and come back and ride the bike in the same day. |

Zitat von SteveJ im Beitrag #19 Learned something from this for my prospective RS. Keyless ride means universal luggage key no longer so relevant, and aftermarket just as suitable. Also the central locking feature relates to RT, not R1250RS. I've an XL head and XL helmet with largest shell size. Helmet will lock into the BMW OEM top case but It's somewhat squeezed. Will look further into these Shad units. Thanks. |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #10Zitat von JimmyJ im Beitrag #1 Paul, funny how things come around and go around. I was doing a quick spray clean on the rear end of my RS and noticed a small insignia on the inside lower left corner of my OEM panniers. I don’t recall anyone ever mentioning this in other threads, but it would appear that SHAD makes them for BMW! I thought this was interesting but not necessarily a suggestion for someone looking for an alternative.  Stick

Zitat von Mark R 1200 S im Beitrag #24 Well... it still has a key to get under the seat, and also to lock the NAV unit if you have one. I do like the fact that my luggage key is the same as that.

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #10 I have used Shad stuff for some time and can recommend it. I have the SH35 panniers and SH59X extendable top box. The panniers are 35 litres. Internal bags are available, and together with the internal shelf make loading and unloading luggage easy without having to remove the panniers from the bike. There are also the older SH36 panniers which give an extra 1 litre capacity and unlike the SH35s will take a full face helmet, though they are quite a bit wider. Some pics below:    I don't have a picture of the top box on the RS yet, but here is one of the almost identical SH58X on my previous GS:  Fred |

If anyone is looking for used OEM panniers and top box here's a set for $1,100 plus shipping from Wisconsin.
