Awesome looking bike AMC...and those accessories look the db's ...beautifully designed (stealth look)...and the build quality looks good too..great drone shots..cheers andy👍👍🍺🍺
Cheers Kevin! It’s certainly a bit different to stock now. Few more changes coming soon, that will hopefully make it look a bit cooler and individual.
another great post Andy you make it look so easy, which I@m sure its not keep up the good work
Thanks very much Roger. It’s a labour of love, but with it when folks like you enjoy it mate! 😊
Been planning on upgrading to this bike and probably doing a lot of touring. Waiting for the 2021 black edition. Currently touring on a 650 ninja like a psycho 😂. Stoked to see someone else is already doing it and reviewing the gear.
Doing it and absolutely loving it! In my mind it should be about enjoying the riding when you get there, rather than being comfortable on the motorway on the way there! (Looking cool certainly doesn't hurt either!)
Very neat little bags, suit the bike beautifully. 👍🏻
I totally agree. They're great in use as well. I tend to just leave them on the bike all the time now!
Missing these “pandering/ accessory” vids especially as I’ve swapped back to a naked bike
Those look pretty awesome mate.
Agreed. They’re really good in use too. I definitely prefer them over the Blaze bags, which were also really good. SW are smashing it lately!
Eh up Andy, nice set of bags !
My brother bought the same bike after riding a 400cc 3 wheeled thingy-me-job.
Scared himself to death and took hm weeks before he got back on it.
He has got used to it now though and his Mrs says he would rather get his leg over the bike....
Haha! I can kind of understand that! 😂😂 don’t Tell the wife though! (Of course she still wins overall!)
Hi Andy,
How good is SW Motech gear 👍🏍. I’ve fitted the same style pannier brackets to an XSR900. The quality and fittings are first class. The locking mechanism on the bags themselves work a treat 👍. Secure yet so easy to remove and replace.
I couldn’t be happier with buying the SW Motech setup. Going to buy their pannier system for my GSXS1000 as well.
Great informative video...thanks.
Cheers 😀👍🏍
Absolutely Peter. Great quality stuff. I’ve been away twice with these boxes so far and I’m really impressed! I thought they might be a little small, but very pleasantly surprised! Glad you’re enjoying yours too mate.
Very slick looking mate... I opted for Shad semi rigid panniers as SW Motech don't do a kit that specifically fits the Z800. Shame as I had a recent melting experience which looking at the angle of the mount of them on the Z900 I would have avoided.
That’s annoying. Luckily it seems that these are perfectly placed to avoid the melting. Even more so with the stock can.
Spot on !! they realy look the business
Thanks Ron! Yeah, they fit with this bike really well. At first I thought it was weird that they are so stubby, but it makes perfect sense with this machine and it's shorter tail.
You have turned this beauty into an unrecognizable transformer
Consider this a trial session. Not everything here will make the final grade! 😜
AndyManCam windscreen is excellent, handguards are super, crashbars are ok, tank bag is cool necessary
I definitely prefer the smaller tankbag, both for looks and usefulness. The pipe guards i think are a bit of a miss and I’ll be saving the handguards for cooler weather. I really missed the wind up the sleeves during the hot spell!
Looks a good solution Andy. It’s a shame SW Motech don’t make a similar ABS moulded case like the urban, for adventure bikes, as you don’t need the cutout for the passenger foot peg.
There is the Aero ABS case, might be worth a look?
Hi Andy.
I've had 8 bikes since i passed in June last year. Just couldn't find 'the bike' i wanted to keep.
I was planning on doing some UK touring as a newer rider. So I had a f900xr, 3 weeks later it was sold. Didn't like it.
Then a Tiger 900 GT Pro. Didn't like it. The latest bike is a 1200GSA, a good bike, but way too heavy, expensive to insure £1650 for me, servicing is ridiculously expensive.
I've come to the conclusion that you don't need big expensive adventure bikes to tour.. yes, it helps, but when you then want some fun, it can be a little lack luster. Other than a 1290Suoer adventure or V4S multidtrada.
So, i test road a CB1000R 2018 in the red and loved it, i think after riding the GSA and then that it was bound to put a smile on my face.
So, i think im going to completely switch from the big adventure bike to the cb1000r. I dont ride through the harsh winter, but i do ride on rainy days. That doesn't bother me.
Im just wondering, other than the panniers, have you got any other recommendations on accessories that may help aid for touring?
An Atlas Throttlelock is a very welcome addition. Heated grips were also an absolute must!
Though I’ve now got an Aprilia Tuareg 660. Definitely agree with your feelings about not needing a massive adventurer. The Tuareg is big, but it’s light and I honestly don’t ride any slower, despite having 70hp less!
Great video well done. Looking at getting these for my 2015 KTM 1290 Super R. Retirement is soon and plan to use mine for long day trips and to carry my rain gear on one side and put my textile jacket in the other when it warms up during the latter part of mornings in the spring time here in South Carolina. Have you put a jacket in one? I know they are kind of small but that is why I like them but need them to handle a textile jacket when needed. Thanks Mike
I'll have to get back to you on that one. Although it also depends on how big your back protector is too. I sometimes wear a jacket without armour and have the Knox armoured shirt underneath. in that case, there would be no problem fitting a textile jacket in there.
Hi Andy, have you taken a pillion on with these fitted, just wondering what the clearance is for their legs with panniers fitted. They look great and nice clear video of the installation. Am looking for panniers like this but need the pillion to fit too for those weekends away.
Hi Tom. I haven't, but to be honest I think it might be a little tough. I've tried sitting on the back myself and there's definitely not enough room for my size 11's. Maybe somebody with pixie feet might be able to manage it.
Hi Andy, great channel. I came here while shopping for a CB1000R which I've now got. Also now just ordered this pannier system largely helped by this video. A thought occurred to me though and wondered if you'd be able to answer. Are the panniers large enough to carry a helmet? Thanks for the video anyway. Regards Peter
Thanks Peter! Welcome aboard and thanks for joining in. I'm afraid the panniers are far too small for a helmet. You'd need the Rearbag for that! ;D (They're about to bring out a new model too)
@@AndyManCam Thanks for your response! Also my panniers arrived and I now see what size they are. Regards, Peter
No problem! Otherwise i find that the panniers are fantastic. Best I’ve had (except maybe the hard tins that i had on my Versys. But they were massive, heavy abs would look really bad on this bike!!). I hope you have the same existierende as me mate. 👍🏻
For me, and I may just be unfortunate, but zips on panniers are just waiting to fail. Yamaha (tracer) did semi soft zip and then brought out hard cases. Racks look good though, and nice vid.
I know what you mean. They're collecting all the road mess. I find that you just have to clean and lube them once in a while. there is even zip care stuff available. but I find a little squizz of WD40 does the trick!
@@AndyManCam Try not to use WD, it’s petroleum based and not kind to plastic, it can make it brittle. Silicone spray is the way to go, and stays/lasts longer on zip and is great for anything plastic or rubber. It seems to revitalise rubber o rings as well. Doesn’t smell as manly though....
Haha! I guess i can live without the manly smell! 😂
My only minor gripe. Please colour code the fittings to the rack or the bike. Other than that, looks the goods!
You mean the silver spacer? Can’t say I’ve noticed it since the racks have been installed tbh. But you’re right, the devil is in the details!
I would suggest to make sure you are 200% someone has used B4 you buy as their return and CS is below imaginable standards
TBH I’ve been totally happy with every product I’ve had from SW so I’ve never had to worry about their CS.
👍
hello, I'm wondering is a laptop "15" will fit easyly int the panniers ?
Did you run into the issue with either side making contact or slightly pushing against your turn signals?
I think the U.S. versions turn signals are slightly longer. FYI
No i didn’t. But they were very close.
How much would the side bags inhibit a pillion passenger's leg room and comfort? Looks like it's the boxes or a pillion, not both?
It’s pretty tight TBH. Your pillion would have to have size 3 pixie feet.
thses bags can one fit a full face? im wondering! Thanks for the reply it will help me before i make the purchase!
Hi! No, I’m afraid they’re too small for a full face. You’ll need a Rearbag for that. www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/438928/#/27945,3255,0
@@AndyManCam Alright sweet! thanks !
No worries mate.
Have you ride with a pillion with these side luggage? How do they feels? Uncomfortable or it just works fine?
I haven't. I never do in fact. But I think it would be a little bit tight in there for pillion feet, unless the passenger has pixie toes. or maybe hooves.
Hello, it is possible this system can be used for the 2021 model. On the sw motech page it is not specified for the year 2021. But although the subframe is different, it appears that the attachment points are the same. What do you think. Thank you.
In theory I’d say yes, but i haven’t seen the 2021 in the flesh. Just a couple of mm difference could mean disaster! Maybe bung SW-Motech an email and ask them. They’re normally very keen to help.
Yes. Are new in the store.
@AndyManCam Hi bro, can it fits an open face flip up visor helmet?
I don’t think so, no. Maybe an open face without the chin piece. But even then it would be tight.
Can't find if it can hold full face helmet...S or M size... Can you please confirm on that? Thx
No, it can’t. Way too shallow.
how do you lock the bags to the bike if the bag is full of clothes and stuff?
I tend to use the elastic straps on the outside half to hold the waterproof bag in place. That way, when i open the cases all the luggage falls out of the way of the locks. Plus i can then wedge waterproofs, spare gloves, water or whatever between the waterproof bag and the inside half of the Case.
Hi Andy, wondering what your opinion is on the urban abs panniers after 1 year of usage
Hi Hans. I still think they’re great! The zips can get a bit banged up with grit, but a spray in the shower and a little wd40 sorts it right out! Awesome panniers.
@@AndyManCam Thanks Andy, I'll keep them in mind when the new sysbag waterproof bags release
Hey hey.
What are you handguards?
Would they work on a BMW S1000R? And not look silly?
Here's the install video: th-cam.com/video/L14W7B_FKFU/w-d-xo.html whether or not they'd look good on the S1000R is down to your personal tastes I'm afraid!
@@AndyManCam thanks man, I ended up finding that video! I ended up ordering the Barkbusters Aero-GP.
I will order the same panniers as you though!
Thanks for the great videos
How are they with a passenger? Seems like it would block their legs?
It is unfortunately a bit tight there. The biggest problem is space for the feet. My size 11‘s only work if i put my heels on the pegs. I think you’d have to have pretty tiny feet to be able to put them on the pegs properly.
what are the measurements in cm of the bags? Tks
Have a look on the SW motech website.
AndyManCam I have looked on SW’ website but I couldn’t find any info about the dimensions. Would you recommend theses cases for traveling?
How are they for lane splitting?
They’re only slightly wider than the bars, so pretty useable. I’m also planning to fit wider bars soon, so should be even easier to gauge the gaps.
Only one thumbs down. You really must try harder. Awesome video as always.
I know right! I’m clearly not being obnoxious enough!
Can a full face helmet fit in?
No, I'm afraid not. They're big, but not THAT big!
this is my first time beeing first in any video LUL
Congrats! 😜
Almost looks like a stealt GS.
Haha! The GS‘s sleeker, sexier younger brother!
@@AndyManCam absolutely, only you can remove the travel offraod gear from the CBR and do track days whereas the GS will always be that large overweight adventure bike making you yearn for a sport bike, neat move! A proper one bike garage 🤔
That’s what i was aiming for! A swiss army bike!
So you have to undo the luggage to lock it onto the bike...mmm does'nt sound very well thought
But thats exactly the point, because you then have to open the luggage again to unlock it. If the zip is locked, then the bag can’t be unlocked. Having to undo it is the small compromise that comes with such a simple setup. If the bag had a locking mechanism on the outside, it would be heavier, more complicated, more expensive and the lock/mechanism would be able to collect all the road grime. I find it perfect just the way it is.
@@AndyManCam Sorry, don't agree. I find it so unpractical to undo the luggage to lock on or off the bike. Would happily spend an extra to have an external lock.
And, would it really be more expensive given the fact that these products are probably all made in China?
More parts means more cost, regardless of where they’re made. But after 6 months of use, I’ve found the setup fantastic. If it’s not for you, then so be it. I’m happy.
@@AndyManCam 410,09 euros is not that cheap... actually its rather expensive for what they are.
@@AndyManCam I'd rather go Givi..if that makes sense
Oh look at you thinking ahead, putting on protection for ya end can. All grown up....
I’ve come a long way! 😉
@@AndyManCam that's what she said...
Aaaahahaha!
