Soft bags for OEM mounts?

Lone Rider have the moto bags that are semi rigid that mount directly to the GSA OEM pannier mounts. No additional scafolding required. Only released yesterday and 20% off but still £919 a pair 👍IMG_2249.jpg
 
Funnily enough I’ve been looking at the X Bags recently- I have a 1250GS with the Vario mounts but no panniers. Personally I don’t want the big metal box panniers - filtering on the M25 / M1 would be a nightmare. I like the idea of the Wunderlich X Bags or the Shad TR40 (they seem practically identical) and if I got them I was leaning towards the 3P mounting system as they seem a bit of a sleeker look when left on the bike.

It seems fairly simple to mount the racks but it’s been mentioned about moving the BMW side case mounts - what does that involve?

I do like to look of the Lone Rider rackless ‘plug and play’ panniers but they are silly money - Apduro only do the hard version and not the semi rigid which is annoying!
 
Removing the original mounts is straightforward - a few screws, and a couple of cable ties to snip. There are a couple of YouTube videos on it. The loose cables can be tidied up by tucking them under the pillion seat.

PS this relates to the 1300. I don't know about the 1250.
 
Have a look at Givi. Their Canyon range of softbags will fit the GS. I use the 35 litre bags on my V85TT.
There seem to be various mounting options incl one that will fit the BMW vario fixing

Ahhh.. okay - I was wondering- i had all the fairing panels off at the weekend fitting a Innovv camera and couldn’t see any wires - thought I’d missed something 👍
