Well thought out and thorough as always. I'm still going to wait for the new BMW panniers to come out, just in case they fix all the problems. I'd absolutely love it if someone would come out with aluminum top loaders that integrated into the vario case mounts - what I really don't like is putting scaffolding on the bike. In the end, though, I think I'll probably have to go that route. If I do, the Lone Rider bags will be considered.
I found the scaffolding to be really similar to that on a GSA for their aluminium racks! Lone Rider are working on a system that goes with the vario racks, they will be the ones to go for in my opinion!
@@Motoscotty Oh wow, thank you so much! Not much happening on my channel until the end of November (when the new bike arrives - shh! ;-)), and I'm still going through the learning curve of how to talk to the camera without sounding cringey, whilst still keeping my wits about me enough to not get squished.
I have recently received the same bags and i'm very impressed with them. Sadly their GS racks were out of stock when i ordered so i mounted on the Touratech frames. I needed to adjust the fittings on the rear of the bag to suit - but works flawlessly now. My only niggle is the metal clasps take some getting used to and there is definitely a technique to the folding, clipping and clasping to lock. I'm hoping with some use they will become easier (to be fair, I did have a broken thumb at the time after a little run in with a car on my week old bike 🙁) Like you, the flexibility of the space appealed to me especially with bulky items. I also opted for the Motocase which is a fantastic bit of kit and seemed excellent value.
The motorcase is next on my list! Sadly at the time it was out of stock! I found these great for things like sleeping bags, struggle to fit in the aluminium panniers but fine for the flexibility of the motobags!
nice solution ..must admit i don’t like the idea of the side opening on the vario panniers , they did however look rather neat and great mounting solution . i took my panniers of my 1250 (Bumot hard luggage) as i would get no value in a trade in and just bought new frames for my 1300 ..work very well , but if i was starting out again the lone rider stuff would be on my list
Makes sense to keep them! Must admit, the Motobags have a lot of space and handy for items that are a bit bulkier as they aren’t a solid construction so can move a bit!
@@Motoscotty Yep but they’ve had issues with the black racks with the finish. Lone rider are releasing rackless bags for the gs which will look better.

@@Motoscotty The second LR comes out with their waterproof soft cases that'll work in the Vario racks, they can have my money!

They're brilliant bags I have them and they're great for my 1250GSA but.. that frame is horrible on the 1300
I think if it was black, it may help blend in with that colour of bike!

I have the lonerider wracks and bags. Nice bags but the fit was garbage. They said the bags were set up for these wracks, but they were a fair bit out
Was this for the r1300 with the supplied rack from Lone Rider?
