Hi all,
Has anyone fitted the BMW pannier protection , that is the two strips that fit top and bottom of each pannier. If so how have you found them ? I have seen a YouTube video, by NothingToProve, who did a drop test with these fitted and they looked to save the pannier from damage.
Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Pannier Protection
Hi Steve 398,
Thanks for replying. Ordered some from BMW.europe-moto,com for £168 inc. tax and postage. Think I may only fit the bottom ones, if the top ones hit the road I think it will be to late![Very Happy :-D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Pannier Protection
I had a helpful mate who’d fitted some to his, he volunteered so who was I to refuse?

Re: Pannier Protection
Hi Steve,
Found some instructions on a BMW website, the templates are marked left F and left R, for the left pannier and are place around the hinges of the upside-down pannier and taped in place as a guide for placement of the protectors
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Re: Pannier Protection
I can do better than that I have the BMW instructions in PDF format. Hope these help people.
The only problem was that they had supplied two sets of left hand templates, just turned them upside down![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
