If you have got a BMW R1300 GS then chances are you will be setting off on a motorbike tour and in that case, you are going to want the best possible motorcycle luggage to accompany you on your travels.

If anything, there are too many luggage options to choose from and it may not be a straightforward task to narrow down the options, but luckily, we are here to point you in the right direction and help you find the right motorbike luggage for your BMW R1300 GS.

Why Choose BMW R1300 GS?

The BMW R1300 GS is currently the most popular adventure motorcycle on the market and for good reason. An evolution of the R1250, this motorbike has been designed with adventure touring in mind and is built for long-haul journeys across different terrains.

In fact, as BMW’s top of the line adventure touring bike, the R1300 has been redesigned with a new engine, transmission and frame, resulting in optimal performance and a reduction in weight whilst retaining the same sturdy, robust nature.

BMW continue to innovate, cementing their place at the pinnacle of adventure motorbikes and it is hard to look much further than the R1300 when choosing a new motorcycle for those longer tours.

Why Consider SHAD Motorcycle Luggage?

SHAD luggage: Same quality, lower prices.

Many BMW riders opt for the BMW branded luggage and in all honesty, it is understandable that people would want motorcycle luggage cases that match their motorbike. However, that does not mean that it is the best option available to them.

SHAD not only produce a high-quality line motorcycle luggage that features a wide range of options, waterproof structures and security locking, they also manufacture a lot of luggage for BMW who then charge premium prices for it. This essentially means you are being charged an arm and a leg for BMW branding and with SHAD’s own luggage, you are getting the same quality without paying for a badge.

Moreover, SHAD fitting kits are designed and tested for specific models of motorcycle and can be used to mount a vast number of luggage cases, meaning if you change your bike, you can usually keep the same luggage and just buy a new rack. For context, BMW top boxes and panniers fit to the motorbike’s existing racks which also makes the cases bike-specific and if you then change your bike you will have to go luggage shopping.

Best Top Box For BMW R1300 GS

There is far from a shortage of options when it comes to SHAD top boxes with an array of different sizes, styles and features, but what are the best options for the BMW R1300 GS?

Well, our top recommendations are the SH58x and the TR55 and you can check out their features below.

Best Panniers For BMW R1300 GS

Although you are spoilt for choice when choosing SHAD motorcycle panniers, there are certain options that best lend themselves to adventure touring.

With that said, we have gone a step further and narrowed down the options to the SH38x and the terra aluminium panniers.

Best Tank Bag For BMW R1300 GS

Without a shadow of a doubt, SHAD’s motorcycle tank bags are the best on the market and that is courtesy of their innovative ‘click system’ mount, a complete game changer that will undoubtedly shake up the world of tank storage.

Tank bags are already the most convenient motorbike luggage option of all thanks to their easy-to-reach positioning and ability to provide quick access to essential items. However, SHAD’s revolutionary mounting kit has well and truly set them apart from the competition, allowing their click system tank bags to slot in and out of place in mere seconds and acting as the ideal alternative to those pesky, time-consuming magnets and straps found with most tank bags.

For that reason, any of the SHAD click system tank bags would be welcomed addition to the R1300, but for the simple reason that it is the largest in the range with a storage capacity of 13 litres, the TR15 tank bag is the pick of the bunch.

You should now have all of the information at your disposal to find the best motorcycle luggage options to accompany you on your next adventure with your BMW R1300 GS.

With the motorbike top boxes, panniers and tank bags they have on offer, SHAD are undoubtedly the best option and the only thing left to do is pick the option that will be joining you and your R1300 before the next journey.
