Clear and very useful thanks! You do not seem to use the "Height increasing element for PRO tank ring" in your demonstration. I am ordering the parts for my new 1300GS and the question is does this part is not needed? Thanks so much in advance
I didn’t have that option to increase height, it only comes with a two part ring, lower part to fit to tank and upper part to secure onto it. There are some spacers (you must use them!) between the bike and the ring but apart from what you see that is all I done! This is the second SW motech ring I have fitted (previous was a r1200gs) and it is the same set up 😊
Many thanks for your prompt reply, much appreciated. I will do so. Keep up your good work: excellently clear, useful and pedagogical information, a joy to watch! All good wishes
Contemplating ordering a new Tank Bag for my R1300GS (collect next week), however, given how close the fuel tank connector is to Phone compartment I was dubious this would now impede the opening of this compartment with tank bag mounted compared to the R1250GS. Is this the case?
Easily lifted off! It does hang over it with how I have mine set up BUT the motech bag is adjustable so I could change the setting on it to help solve that!
You can order the adventure version from their website which drops over the tank better. I like the size of this one, the adventure is a decent size bigger

Very nice ! Would you be able to tell me the overal width of the panniers when fully open please
Just the boxes on their own or the distance from the bike if they are fully extended?
@@Motoscotty Hi on the bike fully extended just wondering how wide they are on the bike .If you have time if not don't worry . Many thanks 👍
Hey Scotty! Did you need to rotate the handlebars to 10 degrees?
Nope! No need for me to do that at all!
@@Motoscotty Thanks, yeah I also got it in the meantime and installed it already.

@Motoscotty thanks for the feedback. It's still worth considering then on the list of extras I have. 😉
Looks really stupid hanging over like a shelf. Why didn't they design it to the tank contour?
