Any bag that fits will do, why would you spend £50 on bags you could buy for a tenner.

I've not bought those specific ones, but I did get the vario inner bags from the same seller - https://www.ebay.ie/itm/PANNIER-LINER-INNER-BAGS-LUGGAGE-BAGS-FOR-R1200GS-VARIO-EXPANDABLE/302288653895?hash=item4661cece47:g:ZfQAAOSwRLZUFvWQ - and have to say very happy with them. Well made with decent quality materials and a fraction of the cost of the branded ones. HTH :thumb2

When I had my GS I bought at couple of pairs of these, they fitted perfect and where totally waterproof.

What bike do you ride? A Yamaha SR125 I'm assuming?

Thanks Dave and Hatcho.

Useful to know the seller isn't selling rubbish. Thanks

They seem to be the same as the ones branded GreatBikerGear, which I have and are fine. Altho you're paying a lot more for a 1200gs logo which won't be seen for the majority of the time.

Any of those bags are fine - I'd err towards the £36 ones though.

I bought a set of 3 vario bags by Mane Event around 12 yrs ago. Still in use today, in Metalmule and Givi panniers.

The BMW ones are too heavy/cumbersome, but the ones by Mane Event and the first two suggestions here - appear to have the right amount of rigidity, without being bulky.

I have a pair of Main Event bags. Low cost and do the job perfectly. They are not waterproof, but contents have never got wet. OEM branded accessory bags are waterproof, but so stiff they wont hold so much stuff and can be a nightmare to get back into the case once taken out.

TBH any bag will do the job.

Look good to me Rob. and good feedback for the seller.
I have the BMW ones which i'm glad of as they are waterproof and one of my boxes has sprung a bit of a leak (which i may have fixed, not tested it yet).

Got the same very good fit good and are good quality .

I can't seem to find Main Event anywhere having had a poke around. I agree on the OEM material - I do have the OEM top box bag and so there can go the absolutely needs to be dry stuff - but I agree with your point, they're so rigid that capacity would be lost and I'd rather a thinner or different material for the panniers so can get more stuff in.
