They seem very keen to promote the pay monthly Service Plans so I wonder if (as part of the piss-take) they inflate the normal prices to make the plans look attractive.
No more Varios

Micro filters are the Aircon filters and they are expensive.
Not sure what car service cost has to do with vario panniers though
.
You need the varios fully expanded to fit all the cash in to pay for the car service. ...or a credit card.

I’ve had 2 sets of them so might be able to help, unless of course it’s specific to the 1300.Hi Stick
Have you got the Trax panniers yet ? I have question or two

Yes, 1300 specific I’m afraid
It’s hard to tell from photos but they look to sit quite high and a bit forward, I need to know if they are going to be a problem for the pillion
if you have any opinions on them in general though I’m interested

One thing I can say is they definitely sit higher and forward on a 1250 so I suspect similar on a 1300. My missus is 4ft7 and had no problem at all, but she preferred when I mounted them using the original racks and adapter plates.Yes, 1300 specific I’m afraid

They will likely sit very high by comparison, several inches I’d guess.
Sorry can’t answer as not ordered yet , I did see a You tube clip which may give you a better view .

Ordered a pair of Touratech Zega Evo 38/38 in black
Basically the improved version of what I’ve had on the 1200 for the last 8 years but with no exhaust cut out, they’re symmetrical on the 1300

The removable frames are a winner for me as hated the scaffolding on the 1250 .. only my view mind as I’m a bit vain

That was attracting me too, I had quick detach Givi racks on my Crosstourer and they were brilliant, it’s definitely a great feature
I’m not keen on the scaffolding either but the Trax look to sit a bit high and forward, I ride mostly with a pillion so that’s critical for me
I also preferred the mounting system and the lid catches on the TT compared to the Trax or Wunderlich but it was close run, of course that’s just my personal preference too
Anyway, I leave my top box on permanently so I’m well past any semblance of vanity
I do a few trips a year 2 up with one a Euro Tour , I had thought about the space but comparing both the TT and the Motech they looked similar as far as I could tell .That was attracting me too, I had quick detach Givi racks on my Crosstourer and they were brilliant, it’s definitely a great feature

Before I have always used the additional top bags on the Gs and never had a moan about space , in fact she mentioned cosy lol , but she is very mobile .

Anyone got a top box for the R1300gs they would like to sell as mines not arrived yet and would like to use one as I like it . Long shot I know..
I've seen a video of that American guy who lives in Germany putting a BMW helmet in the new Vario top box
