Installation and compatibility

The side bags can be mounted on the classic Atlas tubular frame for aluminum cases in seconds without additional adapters. They can also be adapted to most tubular frames with an 18 mm diameter, including OEM frames from BMW. The BMW R 12 G/S is one of the expressly listed compatible models.

For extreme use, the manufacturer recommends attaching additional horizontal straps to the hooks on the backing plates and the side loops. Padlocks for the roll-top closures are not included.
