- Full installation of the SW-MOTECH Pro side carriers onto my BMWR1250GS
Should take you about 30-45 minutes .
I had the SW Motech TraX ADV cases on my previous bike and all I had to do was buy the pro side carriers which are bike specific , in order to mount the side cases .
Remember to order the adapter kits, to be able to secure the cases to the carriers, if not included in your luggage purchase! Suggest you check with your supplier.

As always, follow the instructions and torque settings etc and after a few rides re-check all fittings.

Like the video, tonight I took my BMW pannier frame work off, to do something and bloody hell what a performance. I do like that system that you can just unclip them, it looked easier then making a cup of tea.
Thanks, I did make several cups of tea...🤪
Great video buddy I'm glad my GSA had hard luggage fitted saved me the flaff..
Gotta enjoy a bit of faff 👍
@@gsd32i yep don't mind the odd bit of faff myself but as I get older I like doing a little less 🤣
Stunning! Your beautiful pups are probably thinking, “here we go again, another video on his bike!”. Your pups are beautiful❤!
Yup, they no doubt were thinking that.... they are great company 🤪
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo très claire et complète 👍👍👍
Another great video thanks 👍😊
Thanks , the side cases and internal bags worked a treat on a mini tour last week of the Normandy Landing beaches . Always an argument hard or soft …. For me it’s hard all the time , but I don’t do off road 😁
Thank you ! It helps a lot !
Glad it helped!
Thanks brother ❤
Thumbs up from the pups too!!!! 👍👍
Thanks 👍
tanks for nice and useful vid, thinking on SW motech soft panniers Sysbag, I suppose it could be mounted on same frame, so if purchase in a future alu or new Dusc cases quite flexible options would be to play arround
I think now I would go soft bags especially if they are lighter .
❤ perfekt 😊
Very nice bike and great job. I have an RT but considering an RT for my next bike 👍👍. Is that the GSA or the GS ? TY
It's a GS. Great bike for what I need it for 👍
@@gsd32i thanks for the response. Looks awesome…The GSA has one big tank and not sure if I would go down the GSA path as the bike looks a little out of proportion.
Im considering these racks for mine, but the thing that puts me off is the great big bolts though the number plate. That look would drive me mad! Wonder if you could mount the plate over the bolts somehow??
I suppose you could mount the number after you have put the mounting bracket on . TBH it’s not an issue the bolts and I’ve got OCD!!
How much room is there for a pillion with the panniers fitted? my partner if 5ft 3. Great presentations !
Just having lunch with my wife, aka The Boss, she says it's fine. She's 5'6. Only issue possibly is with the top case fitted and swinging the leg over it!
I have the BMW side cases on my 2022 gs Rallye. No complaints , other than price. The silver goes well with the Rallye colors. Prices of all BMW accessories are comical. I buy whatever I need after market.
Yes I have been impressed with my cases so far, filtering can be fun, not! 🤪
You have paid 25000€ for a bike that is the Ferrari of bikes, and you are cheap on accessories ? Are you cheap on gas too ?
Aren't these accessories from this brand good? Is it mandatory to buy original accessories? These look even more designer to me. only for the Rally modification?
Great video, thanks. Confirmed my decision for the Trax. Please could you tell me which screen you have on the GS?
They are great cases. Yes I have the BMW GS Rallye screen, its fine but you do get buffet. Ive done nearly 600 miles in a day with it and yes there's buffet but it was ok. More for the looks 🙈
@@gsd32i thanks! Just watching your accessories vid now. Picking the GS up this week and can’t wait to get cracking on the toys! Cheers for the vids 👍🏼
Hi. Do you have a fitting video for the cockpit wind deflector please? Can’t find one anywhere!
@@paulhalsall2435 Have a look in my bits and pieces playlist there's one in there.
@@gsd32i found it this morning and fitted, thanks. God, what a faff, and I’m an electrician!
Hello, I'm from Bulgaria and I also drive a 1250 GS but I have a vorio case. Now I want to buy from this guy. Please show me a video of how the top mounting plate for the box is installed and let me know if you are happy with these boxes. I'm thinking of getting gray ones.
Hi you have to get an adapter plate that connects the top case mounting bracket to the GS . Great kit . Just loading the bike up for a 4 day trip to Wales UK with me and my wife .
Thank you!
Hello sir, what is the brand of your short black windshield for your GS please? Thanks for your answer and for your very instructives vidéos . Nice evening from Belgium.
Hi, its the BMW Rallye screen, purchased it from my BMW dealer 👍
Hello sir, thanks a lot. I will contact my dealer 😉. Have a lovely day. Pascal
@@pascaltanghe5624 Great little screen and works best in the "low" position on the motorway. ride safe 🤪
What size are your hard carriers? Like your set up!!
Hi, apologies for the late response to busy avoiding thunderstorms around Europe this week at work !! cases are 45 litres left, 37 litres right. not cheap but good gear. 👍
Bumots here as don't like the offset on the SW boxes but I would prefer removable racking that's a plus for the latter.
The biggest disappointment with the Bumot is that they couldn't make the larger case just a little bit bigger to fit a helmet. :(
Where can i get the sw motech TRAX tension lock cranked for the top case
Hi, not sure what you are referring to. You can always send SW Motech customer support an e mail.👍
Can I ask why you chose the SW Motech over the BMW Vario? Was it simply the case that you already had them from the Africa Twin?
Yes as I already had them from my AT and it’s good stuff. To be honest I don’t really know much about the Vario system . 😊
@@gsd32i Thank you.
can you do it without taking the buffler off?
Buffler? Muffler.....yes , 30 seconds thats all it takes.👍
@@gsd32i haha yes ! muffler sorry ...
