Great bike. Quick question.... How did you get the vario panniers on the GSA?

 

[Ruralman]

Don't know, the bike just came with them!

You just need to remove the ADV rack/pannier frames, and add the Vario mount kit .......

I've done it the other way round, my Vario's are now on a GSA , and my GS has ADV panniers

I do like the vario panniers!

Showroom condition?
I hope she is cleaner than that........... I was tyre kicking in our BMW dealer last week where they had a new WC Adventure and a WC GS in the showroom fresh from the crate. They also had a used hex head adventure like yours. None of them where what I call nice and 'come and buy me' gleaming.

Some dealerships just don't seem to put much effort into selling bikes these days. In fact our dealership will not take a non-BMW in part ex!!!!

anyway I digress. Lovely bike mate enjoy!
