Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 There was a article in the BMW MOA magazine where one member had them on his R1300GS. He did not mention what the two volumes were. I need to go back and look, I think both bags are the same size. The digital version of the magazine won't be out for a day or two. Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4 interesting with the fitting kit, the cost is not much less than what some non BMW makes charge for their own luggage I have priced up a few Givi kits on some of these newer bikes like the Tiger Sport and I have been rather surprised how the cost has risen since I last bought a Givi kit in 2018 for my S1000XR. Alloy top box plates that were £65 are now £120. Regular inflation would be under £84.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4 Not bad, but that they had an issue with the mechanicals getting gummed up by dirt and water is a major negative. You don’t need that fight while on a trip. I also wonder how “watertight” these things are. The way Givi’s seal, you’d think they do well, but without a bag liner, you’d be surprised how much water works its way in on a rainy day. I can’t see these being all that great at keeping out water.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #7Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4 I have had a variety of Givi/Kappa Monokey boxes over the years, including some with Triumph branding that were on my Explorer. I have not had any water leaks. My E45 topbox is 30 years old. E21 side cases, 9 years. Also used E35 and some Kappa K40.

I didn't like the expandable Vario bmw cases that came on the 12GS. They never leaked but the road grime/dirt had the expandable top and one pannier very difficult to collapse or expand and had a grittiness to the mechanism/s. Thus I wouldn't be interested in the newer cases from shad. |

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #7Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4 Yes, that would be my concern. It would be a big problem having trouble getting the lid open on a trip. On a rainy trip it looks like it would be easy for those 2 locations he pointed out getting gummed up. If I was in the market I would want to see more long term reviews. I did not notice if you can expand the bags part way or do you need to fully expand them. Seem like the new BMW Vario bags (that you can't buy) can be expanded part way.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #11Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #5 do keep up - have you not noticed the unicorn posts? I've been looking at options in the anticipation that I will need a bike with ergonomics that suit a wonky hip. Lighter and less crouched riding position. I have lowered pegs and raised bars already. A ride from here to the coast, 80 mile round trip is fine. If I extend that to 100 miles then the pain becomes a problem. I didn't enjoy the longer transit days in Germany & France this year. I have a trip planned for the spring, ferry to Spain booked. This will be the trip that will determine if I change the bike. A Moto Guzzi V85TT would be nice but not gaining any weight advantage and a lot more money than ideal, as the RS is only worth £4k now.
