Friends:
Ever since I purchased my 2008 BMW R1200 GS Adventure motorcycle from GOAZ motorcycles, I have been hot to have the Touratech metal panniers that look sooo cool on this bike. Up until about a week ago I had been saving up the $1800 for the metal racks and panniers.
My only concern besides the price has been: We fall down once in a while at low speeds and I know the metal panniers would be crushed and dented from even one fall. Doesn't someone make a soft saddlebag?
I finally found some soft saddle bags made by First Gear on the GOAZ website. The model I chose is the largest capacity (2418 ci) and are called "Silver Stone".
The saddle bags mounted to my bike in about 5 minutes with no tools needed. There is still pleny of room for a passenger.... Look here:
