Hi
Picking my new RS up on Thursday but was just wondering as I am sure I have seen it done. Does anyone know if the K1300 sports panniers fit the RS and do you need the carrier frame?
Is it possible as I found those panniers brilliant?

You do need the RS bag mounts.
A couple people on the old site were able to modify the 1200/1300S Sport Pannier so it would fit the RS bag mount.

Hi

I fitted the K1300S 'Sport expandable' panniers as a preference, (not as wide or bulky, suitable for most trips and can take a full face helmet). As above, you do need the pannier frames and lugs. You'll also need to make a spacing bracket - you can fit them straight on but it's not secure and a mild pain in the arse, (but not as much as when I rekeyed the tumblers, that was a solid and ongoing pain). I took some quick photos, will put them in the Accessories forum.
