What I offer here is not to be confused with “just” a Tooltube bracket, but is to be described as a complete Soft Luggage & GooseToob solution, which can be used without the tubes as well.

The interest I have had from UK and Europe has been great and was part of my recent trip to the UK to setup a deal for mass production and export.

The product I’m proud to say – meets and exceeds my expectations and I’m really excited therefore to offer this purpose designed system to the SA market.

Please note that this design is specifically for the BMW R1200GSA motorcycle and the other designs I am busy with, will include other models and manufacturers for future release.

The system can be used without the Toobs and gives the GSA rider a bigger more secure and better solution for soft luggage without the need of a Topbox. The design however allows a Topbox to be used in conjunction with the brackets.

The Set will include all fastening nuts & bolts (in Stainless), 2 x black nylon quick-release straps as well as fitting instructions.

This first unit – for my own bike – is made from Marine-grade Stainless Steel, however it will be available in normal Stainless Steel & Aluminium.

Price/Cost per set is to follow soon, but I would like to see a show of hands if anyone is perhaps interested. (which would obviously help with bulk-pricing)

panniers

Hi Goose

 

Looks great! One question...Can you still easily open the panniers with the tubes fitted...On one of the pics it looks like the tubes might be in the way of the lid??

With regard to the Pannier opening query.. Embarassed  ............... I feel.. well......

 

Cool

The Panniers were definitely taken into consideration - and yes they do open - the lid clears the bracket and tube without problems!

brackets for a 650

How about something for the GS650F. I do not want it on my panniers as that is really the only place to put it but I still want the option to use the panniers when needed with it fitted somewhere.

Howdy mate - listen, "special" offer - the normal Stainless is good mate....... however, add R 300.00 to the cost of the brackets + postage if needed. I'll throw in a pair of the inner bags for free!

Leon, I fitted the goose tubes to my panniers. Works like a charm.

Only thing is, I can't compress my panniers into the small position, but the panniers are absolutely useless when in the small position.

In this pic only one tube is fitted, I've attached both now.
