Vario Top Box - Inner

[MF-Racing]

I'm looking for the very best inner bag for the Vario top box. Tried the crappy Chinese ones of eBay and not up to scratch.

Ive found this https://www.adventurebikestore.co.u...gs-r1200gs-all-model-years-f850gs-f750gs.html and the OEM one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-...Liner-Bag-R-1200-GS-77498534712-/182684821142.

Can anyone recommend these or a very high quality alternative?

Cheers

Why not go for the BMW original designed for the Vario

Just been looking at them. Only thing that puts me off is that it does not have a handle on top of the bag to lift them out of the top box?

Because they are rubbish. Too bulky and take up too much of the pannier/box

Yer thats what I've heard. So any more recommendations?

I have been using the same set of BMW inner bags for the the last 6 years, I purchased them second hand and I do at least one European trip every year, plus Scotland and long weekenders etc. I really rate the genuine article, extremely well made, still look almost as good as the day I got them.
The other half likes the fact that they keep their pre-formed shape making them easier for packing

Downside .....if you buy them new they are expensive, try a wanted add on here.

Interesting. I would have thought the OEM bag would be good quality. However I see lots of people complain about then. Not sure!!

Might take a punt!

Mate, there will ALWAYS be someone complaining about a product that hasn't met their expectations. Personally, I'm not sure this 'Goldilocks' inner bag that you are seeking exists!! You have to pay good money to get a rigid or semi-rigid bag with handles in all the right positions. I have a mid-priced set that are not rigid, haven't got a handle specifically for the top box bag but nevertheless have been great on several tours. They simply work and have been recommended by a previous poster. I have learned to live with the minor issue that there is not a bag in the set SPECIFICALLY designed for the top box.
I'm going to keep an eye on this thread because I'm also interested in possibly getting a better product than I've got.

All the best bud :0)

Good point well made mate. Just picked up a BMW OEM bag cheap in the Black Friday sale! Let’s see how I get on with it.
