HELP - Luggage advice

[Tyzer]

Hi All

I had a set of Wunderlich panniers and frames ordered from NN and they were due to arrive on Monday ,NN phoned me this morning to tell me they're not arriving for 6 weeks,i go to Norway on the 28th June and have no panniers or does they seem to be any available from the usual suspects.
I can get SW motech panniers but the pro carrier is not available for 5 weeks ?

Fucking BMW why release a bike with no panniers available !!!

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Got any SHAD dealers near you Tyzer? In the image from the ref that shows the extent the pannier will expand if you need it. SH38X panniers, SH59X topbox, 3P mount.

I've managed to source the 37ltr Givi outback evo' in black from Branded biker? The same as my top box but the carrier is due in a week so I've taken a chance on those .
Thanks all for your responses

Finally got sorted with the luggage, Givi outback evo 37 litres, same as the top case.The frames were simple to fit even for me ,easy to take off too when we're not on a trip.

I’ve seen that givi do a top box plate that can be fitted leaving oem fitting in place,is the rack for the panniers the same or do you need to remove the Vario mounts?

I've not had to remove anything from this Givi set up.Some complain at the cost of the BMW luggage but this lot cost over £1500The cost of the pannier carrier and top case base plate push the cost up.
For 2 up touring the new vario panniers are too small for us.

Yes I think it’s 30lt and 32lt for the vario panniers fully extended so if you get 37lt each side then an extra 12lt capacity.

Had the predecesers on my Crosstourer, they’re a good setup, the one key locking and mounting system works well

I was thinking of cancelling my order for vario boxes and it’s the outback evo boxes I was looking at and being able to fit without removing oem mounts is a bonus. On the Givi website it’s still saying these are “ Article in manufacturing “,where did you order from?

Branded Biker ,call them first don't just order them online as they might not have stock

I see your comment that you’ve not had to remove anything but then you note the cost of the pannier carrier and top case base plate push up the cost. Just to clarify - is it a requirement to remove the BMW OEM pannier frames and base plate in order to fit the Givi panniers? Thanks.

You have to fit a PLO5143 CAM frame (£263) to enable you to fit the Givi panniers, the frame will fit if you do or don't have the vario fixings .The Givi top case requires a adapter plate SRA 5143 (£100) if you have the BMW vario luggage plate fitted, there are other Givi options if you don't. I took some photos but they don't really help.
