I've been told Mid February. But they also said "Don't worry, Your Order will be complete on the 1st March"
Ineos had a similar issue, when their seat manufactures couldn't supply them. They were forced to cease production. Back to normal now.

Now updated to ‘end of Feb’
well my black panniers turned up today 11/2/25 ,vertu coded them for me ,but they said they still didnt have a date for the top box as yet
I’ve now been told maybe mid March, maybe later - actually not really 100% sure. It seems BMW Motorrad are not in control of their own supply chain - very frustrating.Now updated to ‘end of Feb’
Collected my black panniers today. I'm impressed with the quality. Seem to be very sturdy and well made.
The only caveat I have is around how the mechanism locking the panniers to the bike will stand up over time but all in all very pleased with them.
Apparently the top box is likely to arrive at the end of March....

The latest information that I have received is that the BMW GS Adventure Top Case in either colour is unlikely to be available for delivery until end May/June.
Panniers however are coming through now in both colours.
Pannier lid extenders have currently no estimated delivery date.
Decided to go with Lone Rider Motocase & BMW OEM Panniers.

I think the R1300GS vario topbox fits the GSA carrier and is available
Thanks for the heads up - my dealer sadly has no idea what’s going on with the top box. I am going to get Bumot kit instead. I have tours planned in April and June.

As I mostly just use the Top Case (Panniers fitted for touring only) the Lone Rider MotoCase is 42 Litres which will suit my purpose a little better with the extra capacity.
You’re most welcome. I very nearly went down the Bumot route myself but found out a Shoei Neotec helmet will not fit the Bumot 45 litre panniers, as most of my riding is with a pillion this was a deal breaker for me.
Careful what top box you buy. Dealers let me a Vario top box, it’s wider, so the pannier lids catches it when opening .

You make a very good point. I have coming next week the Lone Rider MotoCase 42 litre (which should work ok with the BMW OEM Panniers for the 1300 GSA). Once fitted I will go to my BMW dealer and attach the panniers to make sure it all works in harmony!!
slightly related to the top box thread but can anyone tell me why the top box plate ´´wobbles´´ ? Those that have one will understand what i mean. The plate is fixed but is able to move side to side latterly a few cm and is spring loaded to do this.
I was told it had to do with the aerodynamics?

Think it’s to reduce the effect of wind on the top box, one of the other manufacturers has done the rear panniers floating, think it’s KTM or Triumph maybe
I was checking out the Vario topbox yesterday as the dealer recommend trying one of these as the GSA topbox isn't yet available. I thought that the pannier lids may catch the Vario topbox, I was going to try one when I collect my bike on Wednesday, but it looks like you've saved me the trouble!

KTM Adventure Panniers & the matching Top box for the 1290 SAS (21 on) float, it’s supposed to help with stability. (Other non-floating top boxes are also available from KTM ).
