Progress report-
I’ve bought this set from Cyber as I wanted the side cases for trips with the daughter as she’s a bit more particular about throwing her cloths into the soft luggage I use when on my own
Anyhow as I won’t be using the side cases on a 1300gs the quick release racks are surplus to requirement so are available to buy from me separately.
The quick release (<5mins) rack system is great and allows you to ride the bike sans scaffolding when not touring.
They can obviously be used with the dusc cases but can also be adapted very simply to other cases if any 1300 owners have some from previous bikes.
If you see the pictures of the racks when they are on the bike they are a really tidy fit on the 1300gs when the side cases are not clipped on, and as they are fitted so close to the tail pannels would probably work well as protection to keep soft throwover type bags clear of paintwork and exhausts.
These are new and unused racks so asking £150 delivered which is close to half what they cost new from SWmotech.
