Gear: SW-Motech Trax Evo conversion for BMW R1250GS Adventure Pannier Racks 4K
I have a R1250GS Rally. Before that I had a '17 R1200GS and before that a '13 R1200GS. Are you seeing a pattern? I've had them through the times when only one bike to do everything was required and the 12x0GS is it.
I never saw the need for the GS Adventure, with it's tank bigger than my bladder and it always felt just too big (the standard GS is hardly a small bike) and as they both have the same engine, the lighter one with less drag and the same power always made sense to me. Except for the luggage. The Vario topbox makes sense, but the panniers opening outwards did and do not. When I bought my first GS, I couldn't justify the £1000+ price tag for the BMW luggage so picked up some second hand SW-Motech Trax boxes and racks and they have travelled around most of Europe with me over the last 8 years. The boxes are still going strong but half of the rack isn't.
This is a long backstory as to why I've done this video! I liked the boxes, but couldn't get half a rack, and these days used GSA racks and footpegs are easy to come by from breakers, so I found a set and fitted this excellent SW-Motech conversion kit to use my existing panniers on the GSA pannier racks, on my R1250GS Rallye. Still with me?!
Anyway, if you have, or fancy a GS, and also can't justify the BMW luggage or perhaps you have more than one bike that could use the panniers and you don't need a set for each bike, then perhaps this is for you.
Or no one other than me will watch it! Either way, I hope it's interesting to someone. I'm a fan of SW-Motech's products and I've bought various things from them over the years and the have always been top notch. Someone at the factory did put the SW-Motech stickers on these brackets upside down, but I'll assume they are made for the Australian market....
Anyway, I hope this is interesting and useful, and even it it isn't please like and subscribe anyway!
Thanks all, I have and continue to appreciate your support, even when you indulge my videos that aren't about my CRF.
Cheers,
