I recently added the Side Frame Storage Bags to my 2026 BMW R1300GS Adventure to see if they could truly handle the demands of long-distance touring. After putting them through various weather conditions, I wanted to see if these compact units could provide the utility they promise.
Constructed from durable, waterproof hard nylon, these bags feel rugged enough to withstand road debris and heavy rain. The anti-slip zippers are a standout feature, providing peace of mind that your gear remains secure even when navigating rough off-road terrain.
Installing these bags was straightforward, and they integrate seamlessly into the side frame of the motorcycle without obstructing the rider. I found them perfect for storing items like a tire repair kit, documents, or a small first-aid pack, making quick access much easier than digging through a top case.
These are a must-have for ADV riders who want to optimize their bike's existing frame space for small, frequently used tools and personal items.
Overall, these side bags represent an excellent balance of utility and weather protection. With a solid rating of 4.69/5 and a price of only $59.00, they are a smart, low-cost investment for any R1300GS Adventure owner.
