This is the GSA I bought a few weeks ago from someone on this site. However, the panniers were showing a bit of wear, so I decided to vinyl wrap them.
(The ride was a wet one, so excuse the mud on the vinyl!!)

I'm getting the topbox coded and fitted next Thursday at it's 6k service, so that will get covered too..................as you do!

That looks like the low seat Phil. Any better for you? Panniers look smart too. Had mine vinyl wrapped as well, but I didn't trust myself to do it!

It is a low seat, in the high position. I found the normal seat too high, and at that point didn't know that the GS seat fits on the GSA, so I could of used my GS seat, temporarily.

Humvee Graphics (Steve, the person referred to who sells kits and is on this site) sells kits.
I used his kits to cover mine, they really smartened up my 7 year old panniers and top box.

I cut and fitted them myself, although I believe there is a guy on here who sells them commercially.

How did you cut the vinyl so accurately? :eek: you’ve done a cracking job there, looks really good. I like the cut out and black BMW lettering. :thumb2
 
looks good. I did mine earlier this week. I just bought a couple of rolls of vinyl from amazon at £8.99 each.

I was considering paying circa £150 for a pre-cut kit but realised I could bugger those up as badly as a DIY job. Happy with the results too.....

My top box is a newer black version.

Sorry blues n twos only just seen this.

The cut-outs are designed in software, which is what takes the time. The files they create are then fed into a vinyl cutter which just replicates whatever you've designed, over and over again. So once you've done the hard work in the design, the job is done.
Cutting them takes minutes, and fitting them takes about 20 mins per box.

My OCD has kicked in and I've just done the set of Givi Outback Trekkers that I've also got. Gonna have to lie down for a bit!!
