Got my bags just in and installed on the GS, I was amazed how rugged a well build they are, almost feel like they are bulletproof! They fitted right on the OEM pannier racks and NOT moving at all. I tested them by going to the store and got them loaded up with a week of provisions, even then there fits a small child in it 😝 Yeah I'm impressed and gonna stay for quite some time I guess👌
Anna! She’s fabulous. It is amazing in this world of the Internet how we can get to know people for years and never actually meet them in person. This is a very small company that serves a very focused niche. It has incredible support and service. So does Monimoto which makes theft alarms for motorcycles. I keep a motorcycle in the United States and one in France. No matter where I am I know exactly where my motorcycle is and if it’s disturbed or moved at all I can see on a GPS chart where it is in real time. If you have a question they answer it immediately with their real names just like Anna at this company. It is such a pleasure to deal with companies that are so focused on their cli😂ents.
Just like my bike here in the US. Now you need to call Steve at A Bike Thing to get lights! Thank you for your service.
Teapot One did an in-depth fitting video for the normal GS1250. It's a year old but worth a look if you just have the GS. Theses things are pricey but on par with aluminium versions.
I’ve got Mosko moto backcountry 35’s and love them.
roll the top of your bag outwards 1 or 2 times and it will stay open and be lower.
Excellent review
Inner bag ripped, metal backing plate bent. Doesn’t sound like a quality piece of kit. I’m glad I ended up with the Kriega OS panniers.
I like the bags......but a bag inside of another bag seems redundant....i use packing cubes so wont likely use the inside bag.
Enjoy your video's guy's. I'm looking at purchasing the rack less bags. Are you still as impressed with the moto bags nearly 12 months in? and will you be reviewing the rack less system?
I tour three to five months per year. I carry three pairs of socks, underwear, tee shirts and one sleeved button shirt and two pairs of pants. The underwear and tees are Klim high tech and can dry completely over night. I was them in my hotel room sink. Oh. I carry low profile sneakers. I keep these and my cables, iPad, and Dopp kit in the small bag and I only bring into the hotel this bag. In the big bag I can carry camping gear. I have a huge top case and a normal smaller one. I use these for my wife if she comes along. I also have a large tank bag. I have in France Touratech panniers on a Yamaha T700. I ride it in mountains and deserts and off road and I’ve fallen numerous times and the aluminum bags and rack have held up surprisingly well but are now bent and not really watertight although no water seems to get in! The bike in the USA is exactly what you have in this video and it came with BMW branded panniers made by Touratech but made flimsier. I have never fallen on this bike but I am certain these panniers and rack would not hold up as well as the Touratech branded bags on my French bike. There are two good things about hard panniers. The first is that they are incredibly easy to load if you buy a liner. It’s just a soft sac you leave the panniers on the bike and you just take the soft inner lining. And then you bring it back to the bike and just drop it into the panniers. Second, hard panniers are much more resistant to vandalism and theft in the soft bags. Yet I’d rather have the soft bags because in a low speed fall (which is what we are talking about…we are not competing in the TT) they do absorb more impact without damage. I just cannot bring myself to buy these bags until my existing aluminum ones wet the bed. But I want to buy them! If only to support a company as fine as this.
I suppose you could carry a set of step ladders on the bike to gain access to the pannier. Very expensive kit.
I agree. I’m not into padlocks. You can lose them.
Too much hassle if you ask me, I will stick to hard panniers on my R1250GS
I enjoyed the video thanks. 😃👍
Which bags do you prefer for touring…the Lone Rider Semi Rigid Panniers or the Bumot Hard Panniers?
Couldn’t you load the right side bag while it’s on the ground, then attach it to the rack?
I’ve got the Bumot soft panniers and tail bag on my R1250 GSA. I think you guys are familiar with these panniers. Do you prefer the Lone Rider over the Bumot soft panniers? If so why?
was thinking of soft luggage for my tiger but after seeing this nonsense I'm sticking with my aluminium hard luggage with one keys fits all and no stupid pad locks 🤣
How are these bags holding up 8 months down the line?
