Are 2016 panniers compatible with 2019?

[Mulcher]

Would the BMW panniers from a 2016 GSA fit my 2019 R1250 GSA?
Also, as mine is a keyless key (so to speak), will the codeable locks be compatible?

 

[Alan R]

Yes and yes.

If it was a GS with vario’s the answers are Yes and Yes!

I would imagine that the same would apply re the GSA as the bike chassis are the same?

I’ve not doubt someone on here will concur if I’m correct, or otherwise if not.

BMW panniers transferred from 15 to 17 to 19 GSA. Locks re-keyed by dealer each time.

You might want to get a spare key without the transponder from Timpsons etc to save having to get your keyless fob out each time you want to lock/unlock your panniers, take off the seats or remove your satnav so you don't leave your keyfob in a pannier by mistake and have it fall out while your riding. I keep my fob in my trouser pocket and have the spare on a separate keyring with my front door & disclock keys.

Funny I did not go for the keyless option and don't have any problems with these 21st century issues
