I just installed the Lone Rider soft panniers on my Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro in preparation for my ride from Texas to California to visit family. I wasn't sure how big the Overlander 48L was until I saw your video. Looks like I will be getting that bag. I best hurry up and get ready because my trip starts the last week of June. I still need to replace my GoPros with DJI Osmo Action Cameras.
I have 3 Gopro Hero 8 Black action cameras I bought in 2021. They worked fine for about a year. Two of them now consistently stop recording after 30 seconds and the third one will not turn on. I still use my 2 Gopro Hero 7's that I purchased in 2018 but they are now becoming unreliable.
I'm at that stage of life with retirement just a few months away, I work 350 days a year. Went out for dinner with my wife last week for the first time in 7 years, so it felt like a holiday just watching your video. This bike pack and plenty of other lone rider gear looks just the treat. Their duffle bag in 50L and the bike tent too appear to be a sound investment in my retirement plans. 👍😎 Australia🇦🇺 awaits.
You've made my day mate, thanks for sharing that. Ride on brother! Email me your address and I'll send you one of my Buff neck tube bandanas to wear on the trip. Address in my channel details...
Great video and insights on the LR Overlander. I just bought the 30L version and the panniers with the recent sale. 30L arrived today and I’m as pleased with it as you are… Fellow GS1250A rider here in Nashville, TN USA and new sub for your channel - like your style and content very much!
Thanks Michael, your kind feedback has made my day! Currently working on a video about Ned Kelly, the notorious Aussie outlaw... stay tuned! Cheers, Nick
Great video Nick. Very informative. Love the all aspects of the way you review. Every video is getting better and better. Questions about bag. I notice it has a hook so you can secure it, can this be secured to the bike easily so no one can easily steal the whole the bag from the bike? But also when it’s secured, is it easy for anyone to steal what’s inside it ? Similar to the Lorn rider panniers in away ?
Thanks Rami. Where there's a will, there's a way and if anyone wants your gear badly enough they'll get it. The metal bracket will slow them down though. The best way to prevent theft is to chain it to your leg in the tent I guess!
If you notice on your breakfast pouch, there is a tear line a third the way down so it's easier to get your fork into the food without that tall bag inyour way. Just an FYI. Cheers mate. Nice editing BTW.
Top quality and super informative thanks Nick! Do you think the Overlander 48 would fit a full faced helmet? I currently ride my bike to the airport and lock my helmet in my hard top box, rather than carry it on the plane. Do you think this bag could be secured well enough to be an alternative to this scenario? Also, are there any bike covers on the market that will fit over the bike with the full kit on (Overlander 48 and side bags (31/38)?
Great question Matthew. I didn't know the answer so I just nipped out to the garage with a helmet. My large size BMW Carbon7 fits in easily, you could probably fit two in there end to end. Regarding security, Lone Rider recommended using a Steel Core Belt Lock but they don't sell them. The belt goes through the alloy loop on top of the bag and then around your rack/frame. Interested to know where you are based mate?
@@theboomerangbiker1966 Hey Nick - thanks for that info. I have a Shoei GT Air 2 XL and it sounds like that should fit as well. I am based in Perth. Last year I completed a 7500km trip to Tassie on my 850GS with the BMW Vario hard luggage - worked a treat and very convenient. I tend to leave all my luggage on the bike all the time so security is important. I will soon upgrade to a 2022 1250 GSA and trying to decide whether to go with the BMW Aluminum luggage option or get a soft set - probably lone rider. I may even opt for the BMW top box and the Lone Rider side panniers.
@@matthewtrueman2579 sounds like an epic trip mate, nice work. I'd definitely go for the Lone Rider panniers, they're awesome, I love mine. I'm just working on a review of the LR Tail Pack, stay tuned...!
Hello Mate, great review, I still use a cheap duffle bag on my camping trips. What a great product, I am certainly considering it. Greetings from South Australia. I often do videos by myself these days as well, so I don't hold up others. Fabulous drone footage.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the great feedback. I'll check out your channel. I've just got back for a long weekend in Halls Gap and the Grampians. Got some great footage, just need to start the editing process!
Be aware that the map pouch on the 30 L and 48 L Can fly off if exposed to wind . Don't ask me how I know 😏 Also there accessorie bags do not line up properly to both side MOLE system ribbon strips and flop around do to only one attachment ribbon strip to attach to. Accessories attach to top MOLE much better on Outlander bags. Aluminum safety bar will rub on map pock / items stored between bag - 🦫 tail. Does Not clean easily. On a brighter Note : It can carry a med. Size Yapping dog on all of your adventures 🙂👍
I really like their duffle bags and recently ordered one after seeing one at a ADV gathering. I was going to order the LoneRider Motobags as well until I saw their weight. They look and function great, but they are about 15 pounds each empty. So that's 30 pounds before you even starting putting gear in....that's more than already very heavy Mosko Moto soft bags and even more than my Touratech Aluminum Panniers or the Givi metal panniers. Just can't understand how they ended up with so much weight.
I don't notice the weight but appreciate the bag weighs more than the Osah Drysak I was using previously. I think the majority of the weight is in the removal stiffener, which other bags including Mosko don't have. It stops the bag flopping over the sides of the seat. I'm also a fan of Mosko gear and have their Nomax tank bag...
Hi mate..love ya vids...i have a question please..afyer watchin your vid on lone rider gear ive decided to go ahead and purchase some but the reviews on customer service are appalling..can i ask who you purchased your gear off and are they based here in australia or do i have to order from overseas..makes me nervous handing over that much cash to someone i cant talk to..thanks
First off mate, thanks, really appreciate the great feedback. Second, I've never had any issues with customer service, but I'm not going to say it doesn't happen, I just don't have any issues. I bought online as they only sell online globally, they don't have shops or agents as far as I'm aware. They have a DC in Melbourne and I find that delivery of pretty quick. Happy to help if you need anything mate. Which products are you looking at?
@@theboomerangbiker1966 thanks heaps mate..i thought that online was the only way....by the way..got the same model and color gsa 1250 as yours..i watched your vid a couple of times just to get a good look at your bike begore i bought mine...i love it...
Yes you can mate. The supplied straps allow you to fit it in many different positions and combinations. I also have a 30L Overlander which I've sat on top of the 48L. And I've also had the 48 on the seat and the 30 on the luggage rack. I also have a Tailpack. I use what I need for each type of trip...
Just got mine - do you have any tips to get that red inner bag stiffener to fit? Mine is too big to line up evenly with the flaps over the inside velcro attachment points, and I think the stiffener is too large to fit the bag corners well - looks like it puts too much stress on the bag seams.
Would it be ok to use an ovelander instead of a top box case of you ride with a pillion ? Would it be comfortable for him/her to rest the back for example
Yes it would, the Overlander fits nicely on the GSA rack and would probably make for a more comfortable backrest than a top box/case. I'm not a fan of the pizza delivery top case look!
Also is It safe to leave things like two helmets for example in the overlander bag and have the bike out of sight? I have read that the steelcore Locker does a good job for safety but Is It really safe for your personal things in the bag?
i ordered the travel the world package from lonerider in a couple of weeks. but thez are sooo expensive. i acidently order the big duffle drybag with the 48l overlander. did you now if i can fit the 2 bags on my bike at the same tim with all other stuff includet?

Thanks mate, appreciate you dropping by... Cheers, Nick
enjoyed the movie have been looking for soft travel bags for my bike so appreciated this movie
Thanks mate, great to get such nice feedback from a fellow creator... Cheers, Nick
I think this is the best duffel/duffle bag on the market, what do you think guys...?
It’s not too noisy at all.
What isn't?
That's another great review Nick..

It's supposed to be a tight fit mate, mine was. Put it outside in the sun to soften it up if you can, or next to a radiant heat source...
@@theboomerangbiker1966 It’s a tight fit for sure - time for a little heat treatment. Thanks for the input 👍

Does the Overlander *have* to mount across the saddle? Could it go lengthways?
Either way mate and you could push it onto the tail rack if you have a pillion passenger... Hope that helps?
