It works really well, and yes i'll be investing in the locks. So far so good with the KTM i really enjoy riding it. I agree if I had the money an Africa Twin would most likely been sitting in the garage.
I always wondered why accessory manufacturers didn't make a quick-detach frame set. It is an obvious winning idea, and I like Sw-Motech's interpretation. I already have new luggage, and a frame mounting system on order. It is for a brand new Aprilia Tuareg, so I will return or sell the set that is on order and get the SW-Motech set instead. It has exactly the functioning I want. I will need an adapter to be able to mount the cases I have on order; so it is good to know that SW-Motech offers adapters for other brands of luggage.
Great video, big like. I have a 890 ADV R 2023 and still waiting for my sw motech panniers. I have the same KRIEGA OS Combo but a big question. How did you mount the kriega plates on the bracket? I am more interested in the used screws in the front & back. Are there any specials screws which are coming with the kriega plates special for the PRO side panniers? Thank you 🙏🏻
@@mancavemoto thanks for your quick reply. I am asking because I had these kriega combo on a 2014 GSA.. sold it and I want to mount it on my new bike but I have only the screws which came with the plates and I am wondering how the ones for the pro carriers look like, any ideas of the name or code for the screws or a picture? Thanks 🙏🏻
Ah ok, got it i didnt know you already have the plates. The GSA would have had a tube type side pannier I guess? so it will be a different fitting for the SW-motech pro rack. Best bet is to ping the guys at Kriega an e-mail and they would probaly be able to sort you out a fitting kit
Thanks, yes that was one decision I had to make, in the end I preferred the riding position of the KTM, that little bit extra power and having a KTM dealer just up the road.
Hi Tony!!! Merry Christmas!!! Hope I am not disturbing on this happy holidays and parties that u r enjoying.. Need yr professional advise: I am getting a Suzuki 800 DE in 2 months time. Am looking to get the SW MOTECH pro side carriers. The soft panniers that I would like to purchase is TUSK PILOT from Rocky Mointains ADV. Am wondering how to make those Tusk pilot panniers (with quick release) fits on the pro side carriers. Cos we don’t have any agent at where I am(Singapore) for SW MOTECH as well as Tusk.. so I am abit lost on how to make this 2 different brand talk to each other… happy holidays!!!
I totally agree, SW motech along with the Kreiga OS, it doesn’t get better than that! I’ve used SW Motech gear on a few bikes ...and so do many of the manufacturers, they just stick their brand name on the bag somewhere, then charge 20% more! Thirsty work, eh...Now for another beer!
Hi. Are you able to let me know the length of the M6 bolts used to fit the OS platforms to the SW bracket? I've lost mine and cannot find them for the life of me! :( ps great review as always. Thanks
Great video ! I love the beer interludes :) I would be happy to just follow your full instructions (including the beer timeoff...) on how to install the system but got one question: how solid is it ? I do some offroad and I wonder how sturdy the system will be in case of a flip over. The registration plate attachment makes me wonder...
Thanks, it makes the job more fun! Its a really sturdy system, when both carriers are bolted on it makes an incredibly strong frame as you have six connection points. The rear plate fixing is no problem if you have both carriers on. If you fit just one it could cause problems in a crash, BUT having said that the front two mounts do most of the work.
I haven't no, but they do look good. I was going to try them on my Tiger, but then i decided to sell it :). I have a couple of the Kriega OS6 bags which are similar and can be attached to crash bars, but they are more expensive than the Lomo ones.
No Worries, very secure, I would say its nigh on impossible for the clip to work its way out, and definitely not both on them. They are a much closer fit than would appear
Please can you tell me if you can mount the Kriega soft bags directly onto these Pro side carriers without the OS Platforms? If you have to buy the platforms too it means you have 2 carriers plus extra cost. Or can you get the bags with just the black plate? Thanks.
Many thanks for your reply. It would be a one time fit then I’d leave them on so it could be ok. Just wondered if the straps lined up near enough with the corner slots on the carriers.
Great video! I've got a 1290 Superadventure r and planing to buy a side carries that works with both aluminium and soft panniers (different sizes) Is this the product i'm looking for?
Brilliant vid again mate, and I have watched a lot of your "Luggage" ones, as well as others, and I just had it confirmed today from SW-Motech that they NOW do make the quick release pannier FRAME for my bike - 2020 Africa Twin Adventure Sport (which until now - they hadn't - only for the basic model) but I would LOVE your thoughts on using this mounting platform, with the large Lomo pannier bags - ie -- cheap as chips - with the added benefit of not keeping empty frames on the bike, at any time. THISSSSSSS solution is what I have been looking for in daft levels of detail. Permanently attach the Lomo bags to the SW-MOtech frame - job done??. (or not). Cheers brother.
Cheers Paul, and thats good to hear. It should be a good combo with both the Pro and Evo side carriers. You can always fit a cheap side plate to the carriers too for a bit more bag support if need be?
@@mancavemoto Tony. Watched it again, and I think your Kriega OS platform back plates are a great way to go, as there are loads of possible combinations for attachment to tthe Lomo molle system. I don’t really ever see me buying Kriega / Lone Rider bags, as I cannot justify the price for the infrequent use, so the large Lomo panniers, on this platform is an awesome solution. In addition, the links for the OS platform from Sportsbikeshop, and the security device fir the Motech frame you provided is awesome mate, I have spent HOURS looking at this subject, and .the fact that SW Motech now do make the frames for my bike, together with your sterling advice saves me finally from this torture 😉😊👍.. Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this stuff, and also for replying Tony. Really appreciated mate. Cheers.
I would have thought so, but I can't find any information on the base plate for the Givi Bags. If it mounts the same as the monokey, then yes they definitely would.
At 5:04 But obviously don't put the lockable fasteners on the number plate mounts as shown here, 'cos they'll just remove the number plate bolts and steal the whole lot! ;)
Great carriers this, with a conversion sett for shad boxes l could reuse my vstrom boxes on my Tiger 800 xc.(see my channel) Need those looks l see...they are easy to take off. Great instruktion video Tony.
This is probably the cleanest install video I've ever seen.
Thank you
Just ordered the side pro carriers I'm rewarding myself with a sip of beer now! 😁
👌🍻
Great little video. Really cleaver how you can swap different products. Love the amusing beer interludes 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb system. I had no idea it was so flexible. Being able to take them off so quickly is a real bonus, although I'd add a lock.
It works really well, and yes i'll be investing in the locks. So far so good with the KTM i really enjoy riding it. I agree if I had the money an Africa Twin would most likely been sitting in the garage.
Thanks! Great vid. Just bought the same 790 so I'll be keeping an eye on your channel. Thanks again
Cheers
I agree I’ve used this system on a few bikes over the years it is great quality and when you take it off it hardly shows 👍
Exactly why I like it!
Great stuff. I’m looking forward to seeing the plans for the bike and the trip 👍
Cheers!
wow I love it, what a slick system..... will have to look into it, thank you for opening my horizons, cheers V!
No problem 👍
I don’t even have a bike yet and I enjoyed watching that. Take care 👍🏼
Ha! Thanks
Excelente video! Fue de gran ayuda para la instalación de los soportes en mi nueva 790. Gracias!
Great production as always Tony, enjoy!
Thanks Dave, Much appreciated!
Really interesting and well presented vid. I hadn't seen this method of mounting before.
Thank you, its a really neat solution
I'll second your recommendation. I have exactly the same setup on my 790 Adv and it works brilliantly.
Thanks

Nice one Tony, although I’m a bit disappointed that you only showcased 1 beer! Totally looked like a 3 beer job! Cheers and Up the Chelsea !
Thanks, no just a one beer for the job, maybe a few after to celebrate. 😂
Great video. Liked the beer and really like the 790, good choice. 👍
Cheers Andy
Great Video! Do you think the rear cross brace is strong enough since it attaches to a cast plastic piece?
The main bracing is on the theee other arms, the rear one is just for stabilisation. I feels very rigid once in place
@@mancavemoto Thanks for the response. Cheers
Nice vid T and as you say SW Motech are quality parts. Really like the Kriega panniers as opposed to Ali panniers and congrats on the new steed!!!
Thanks Neill

Looking forward to hearing your ongoing views of this bike, I'm trying to decide the 790 ADVR and the Tenere 700 🤔
Thanks, yes that was one decision I had to make, in the end I preferred the riding position of the KTM, that little bit extra power and having a KTM dealer just up the road.
@@mancavemoto sound considerations, same situation for me and likely the same outcome. Test rides next week. Thanks for the reply!
Nicely done video. Really appreciate yr time n effort!!! Wondering is there a setup for Suzuki 800 DE??
Yes there are Pro side carriers available for the bike

Hi T.
Have you ever reviewed the lomo crash bar bags.thinking of getting some ,but wonder if you had experience of them .
I haven't no, but they do look good. I was going to try them on my Tiger, but then i decided to sell it :). I have a couple of the Kriega OS6 bags which are similar and can be attached to crash bars, but they are more expensive than the Lomo ones.
I have them and they work very well.
Thanks for the info. How secure is the quick connect fittings when traveling off road? Do you have no worries about them jiggling out?
No Worries, very secure, I would say its nigh on impossible for the clip to work its way out, and definitely not both on them. They are a much closer fit than would appear
Please can you tell me if you can mount the Kriega soft bags directly onto these Pro side carriers without the OS Platforms? If you have to buy the platforms too it means you have 2 carriers plus extra cost. Or can you get the bags with just the black plate? Thanks.
You can but not very easily. You buy them as a package with the base plate and bag together I believe
Many thanks for your reply. It would be a one time fit then I’d leave them on so it could be ok. Just wondered if the straps lined up near enough with the corner slots on the carriers.
Great video! I've got a 1290 Superadventure r and planing to buy a side carries that works with both aluminium and soft panniers (different sizes) Is this the product i'm looking for?

Glad it was helpful!
Do you know if these sw motech pro carriers will mount up without issue having the perun luggage rails mounted on a ktm 790/890?
I’d need to have a look at where the Perun rails mount. I’ll take a look and come back to you
Hi do you think the GIVI GRT 709 Canyon panniers would fit this rack?
I would have thought so, but I can't find any information on the base plate for the Givi Bags. If it mounts the same as the monokey, then yes they definitely would.
Nice job. Was it just the one beer? 😉
Four the install yes, i might have celebrated with a couple more later on ;)
Hi. Do you know (or anybody knows) if it is possible to attach the GIVI Canyon or the Mosko plates to it? Thank you.
Givi definitely, I’m not sure about Mosko, that would need a bit of googling
At 5:04 But obviously don't put the lockable fasteners on the number plate mounts as shown here, 'cos they'll just remove the number plate bolts and steal the whole lot! ;)
Obviously
Covid allowing us to travel ain't that the truth. Me too I hope next year too.
I love SW Mototech gear.
I hope so too! thanks Donald
Unfortunately SW Motech doesn't do exhaust cut out racks.
No, they only offer 'off-set' panniers and racks
