Too much!

I have a pair of R1200GS boxes which i cannot fit on my F8GS, they are used i'd request £450 for both inc locks. They do not come with BMW pannier frame.

To admins/Moderators; i mean no harm by as it were advertising my boxes, i still have to explain condition & possibley dealing with postage..

PM me & i will add pictures & link from my ebay acc to prove were they came from etc.

£450 with locks from any BMW dealer

That's pretty cheap !

Here in Melbourne they're $1500 + $340 for the locks ; about GBP900.

I wonder what postage from the UK would cost ? Anyone work in a post office ?

I use varios but am considering upgrade to either GSA alu panniers or TT... I've read alot on the TT models and price but are the OEM GSA panniers worth the money???

I like 'em- Also like the locking mechanism on to the frames

The fact they are not too large encourages disciplined packing too!

But consider having a modification like this made, which makes the space over the exhaust usable too:

I do a lot of camping and went from varios to the GSA type and they are 100 times better mainly due to their top loading nature. I now have a GSA again with the standard ally boxes. In addition to the panniers the GSA rack is much better than the standard plastic version which is a real benefit to me with my camping gear.

Loaded up

I an ideal world I`d like both! The varios are good for the convenience of expanding them and ease of removal with no frames left but there has been a few occasions where I wished I had some top loader panniers, camping for instance and when trying to close the exhaust side pannier
Something to look out for in the future I think

Michelle at Balderston's provided the best price, and got the order; £460 + £170 shipping, which works out to AUD1150 versus $1840 locally,

Sounds good. But hope you haven't forgotten import duty & taxes, plus the fact that you effectively have no warranty on them and you'll need to pay to get the locks coded...
