Guys after doing a 2000 mile trip around Scotland in 8 days so 8 different hotels I found toe top loading panniers on the VStrom 1050 to be fantastic and just so much better than the ones that open on the side like the OE ones, has anyone seen a SR with Metal top opening panniers fitted Id really like to get a set |

Not metal, but I use Givi E21 top loading panniers. Combined with a E45 topbox and tankbag, these are good for solo touring for 2 weeks, with one of the E21 dedicated to carrying my CPAP machine. These do not increase the width of the bike much so filtering in traffic is easy. Spam goes here |

Wessie thats the set up im looking for mate Would you happen to have the part numbers for the racks and adaptor plates or a link, Ive just looked at the SW web site and cant see anything on there for an RS at all |

odd, you could not find them - just used the filters at the side on the UK site

Wessie thank you so much |

I didn't like the original panniers either so I put a pair of Givi Trekker Outback panniers on. They came off a GS and the pannier frames only needed a little cutting and modifying to make them fit my RS. Not to eveyone's taste I am sure but they are tough and carry heaps.

Zitat von Joff im Beitrag #6 Not sure about the looks of those on the bike, but if you already have them why not. Curious about what that is on the rear seat? |

Why so much dislike here for the OEM panniers? KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #9 in my case, I am a Givi/Kappa fanboi so the relatively small cost of adapting the bike is economically rational. I have been using the topbox since 1996 on 8 bikes and panniers since 2015 on 3 bikes.

Oakey's helmet is from Dark systems in Poland, they don't have a website but this is their instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/darksystemsnews/?hl=en The other helmet I looked at was from K9 Helm in the US -- https://www.k9helm.com/cs-1 |
