I noticed a 1150GSA fitted with a pair of KTM panniers on the Snowrun. I was wondering who it was and what was needed to fit them. 
GSA with KTM panniers on the Snowrun
- Thread starter longdog
- Start date
As a guess ........
Ktm panniers are Hepco and Becker .
so hepco mounting rails for a BMW should get the job done
Extra rails on you beemer will have the added advantage of making it easier to load on the flat bed too

I think moto bins bring em in , i'm assuming you are talking about the hepco and becker ones.
No real advantage over the system panniers i found, in fact less room although more robust.
As against the GSA ali ones I prefered those.
Should read 1150 gsa panniers-never had the others.

Yes, they were H&B with KTM embossed. They looked pretty damn good to me, better than the B*W ones, with a pair of equal sized cases on the GSA that I saw.

Longdog,
A mate has the Gobi Panniers on his 1150GSA.......I'm sure I could get a pic for you if you want? He's a member here, but not a subscriber, so you cannae PM him......
The Gobi's are double-skinned allowing you to carry a couple of litres of water/fluids between the skins and come with a convenient tap on the lower corner. Not the prettiest IMO, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc.

KTM Panniers
All....yes H&B Gobi Panniers fitted with H&B Rails - The rails came from another company not Motobins (but I cant remember who I got them from)
1) The panniers came off my KTM 990 Adventure and are brilliant, robust, easy, secure and good storage....can't fault them
2) The rails are Cr@p - they arrived chipped and have rusted and flaked away ever since, I plan to take them off and have them chromed or powder coated this year
The rails were about £70 so saved me a fortune v the BMW one's - Also have the KTM Gobi top box which is massive.
Here's a pic of them

The Touratwat catering tins are cheaper to buy from KTM dealers than touratwat themselves
Aah the brave one who went down the Cresta Run. Kudos
It also took me a while to work out what the whirring noise was every time we stopped in a group. Realised it was your bike. Fan?

Yes, I want a Tee shirt with that on!!!! Don't forget I did it on Michelin Street Pilots too!!!
Right again, it's the fan! When I got to Abergavenny bus station at 9:40am that morning, that was the very first time that the fan hasn't come on!!!!
50 odd miles and that's how cold it was!
