Holan Nomada Pannier Drilling Pictorial

Rob 2 Weeks Ago 06:48 PM

A few installation photos: We decided to install the panniers with them leaning forward the exact same amount as the hoop of the mounting rack. Generally, you want to install them with a slight lean to the front so water runs off of them. 1.5" from the rolled portion of the pannier, centered between left and right, making sure the welded portion of the pannier is to the inside: Put the mounting blocks in place. I'd suggest the long portion of the mount toward the long portion of...

Keying Vario Boxes to Ignition Key

EmmBeeDee 01-16-09 12:31 PM

Stephanie's (Dresda) used F658 came with a complete set of Varios with their own keys, and she let me put the side boxes on my F800GS. One thing I was a little annoyed about with the Varios was that they had their own keys but I didn't want to have to carry yet another key so I went looking to see what my options were. There was a thread on UKGSer which mentioned that you could modify the cylinders on Vario or other BMW luggage to make it work with your own ignition key so I tried it out...

F800 Tank Bag Dangers (!!!)

Larryat42 10-08-08 11:20 AM

Got a scare from a tank bag that I though you should know about. Driving my F800ST home for a great weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire as they celebrated with green, red and gold, I was going at traffic speed (~70) on heavily used Route 495. I looked down and saw that my small CORTECH tank bag had slipped from the tank top and was wedged between the side of the tank and the front forks. Talk about getting your attention FAST! I avoided any issues, did not pee my pants and got...

Stop BMW Pannier Wobble

bo_vk 07-20-08 01:06 PM

I had the panniers installed by the dealer. One was very well attached, the other had a slight wobble. I want to share a very simple fix plus as the rubber in the support bracket wears out this may have to be repeated. If you follow the instructions for adjusting the panniers fit on the support frame the result is OK but they still wobble. It is just difficult to put enough downward pressure on the holding bracket with panniers in place. There is a simple solution. Remove the panniers,...
