Anyone got any experience with Bumont or SHAD panniers as an alternative to BMW ones, looking for something a bit cheaper, doesn't seem to be 2nd ones about, also soft luggage like Moscow might be an option, any thoughts appreciated- to fit 1250 GSA. Thanks Guys.

I've got the Bumot ally panniers/top box; excellent quality kit IMO. Mind you only got 'em to save more serious damage when I inevitably drop the bike!
Thanks guys, sorry for late reply, appreciate response.
Just bought a full set of Mosko Moto Backcountry panniers (Offset 35/25), a 30L duffel and the Nomad tank bag.
The kit is beautifully made, looks absolutely bombproof and is easy to fit and remove. Can't wait to try it out in Spain in June.

fred_jb on here fitted Shad to his GS.
You can get Bumot panniers and topbox to fit directly onto the BMW frames
Excellent quality, powder coated inside and the lids have friction hinges so that you can use them as a table for lighter items
My only criticism is the locking mechanism to the OE frames is a bid fiddly.
Here's a picture of my 1250 with the older style defender panniers....the Evo defenders came out about 6 months later

Give Bernie at Stahlkoffer a shout... I'm pretty sure he's on here! Ace panniers! Great service too. I had a pretty bad crash a couple years back, bike flipped, the left pannier protected the landing but ruptured the case bracket in the process. Bernie sent me the bracket plate, so I could grind off the old brackets and bolt on the new one... Instead of charging me for a whole new pannier.

How do you find them, they look cracking
Spot on pal, much bigger than the BMW panniers by all accounts, strong and sturdy, very well built panniers.
Just looking forward to getting out and using them at some point this year!!!

I opted for SW Motech Trax Adv for my 1250GSA, I love the quality of the SW Motech stuff but it's not cheap unfortunately.

I'm also looking for a set. Do any of them take a helmet in the larger pannier? Save me taking topbox out all the time?
My SW Motech one won't, not safely anyway. I have a Shoei Neotech and it is just a smidge too narrow to fit, but it's mostly due to the rubber seal around the top. Pretty sure I could have forced it past, but didn't wanna scratch the helmet.
