Decided the Sw motech work well and no scaffolding, on and off in 60 seconds , best of both worlds , great kit.

The easy option would be to put the OEM rack back on and go the Givi route, there’s a good choice of boxes depending on what you want / need

That would let you fit probably any aftermarket pannier system you want

The OEM rack also looks good (in my opinion) and I have confirmation that the pillion grab handles are good if that’s a consideration for you

Guess you don’t want to go with the Trax aluminum boxes ?

Hi Leadfarmer, can i just confirm the OEM rack which fits the BMW new vario top case just needs a bracket to be able to fit a Givi box ?
Cheers

Hi Tyzer

Yes, here’s a thread with a few pics, as you can see it’s a 2 minute job to fit or remove the Givi plate
There is no modification of the rack or electrics at all

Top box Adapter Plate

My local dealers quote of £1750 for a full set of electric luggage ("that is the deal!") is eye-watering. I was pleased to be able to get my feet on the ground when sat astride the adaptive height lowering model. Why give dealers like that your business, you can buy from anywhere and get...

My Trophy is due in about a week with the plastic rack fitted. Anyone used any of the givi support brackets (sr5143) along with a top plate?

Nice bike, and not related to the luggage, but I noticed you have the SW Motech engine crash bars fitted ?
What do you think of them ?
I'm looking at them and others to get for the 1300.
Thanks

I love the engine bars to be fair but the bolts aren’t as good quality as I’d hoped, the top mount ones are a bugger to tighten without rounding them off but otherwise happy

Thanks for your response, much appreciated. Crash bars seem to be hard to source at the moment too !

Looks rather good - which Givi top box did you go for ?

I went for the Dolomite 46l one, I was tempted by the the newer 44l one but the hinges looked a bit plasticky, happy with this one so far

I've managed to get the stuck bolts out, needed a pair of molgrips on them to free them, the SW Motech bolts are a bit shite compared to previous stuff I've had off them.

BMW luggage rack is refitted as is the Lone Rider pannier racks.

I've got the same bike with the BMW rack fitted. Lone rider bags look great. Can you lock them?

The bags themselves lock with a padlock but also lock to the pannier racks directly as well.
