I guess all that hassle spent sorting all the bits out paid off...

My suggestion is to get mirror extenders and get them as wide as the panniers. Now you know if gaps are safe to go through or not. It improves rear view as well.

I will deffo check that one out... thanks

It’s nearly as wide as a BMW

BMW X5 yeah

They’ll make filtering a bit more difficult just have to remember you’ve got them on.

Just a little bit . I reckon the car will cone off worse tgen the panniers, there okd skl givi, built like a brick s**thouse

Fitted the Evo Carrier, seems to have done the job... happy days!

I managed to fin some on ebay second hand givi ones so just gotta hope it all fits

Yeah i think ill do that, ill send an email with all the information, thanks for the help and time for looking .

I realistically want cheaper second hand panniers but cant seem to find any .

So would these panniers fit?

Yes I've seen these on a ZZR1400 and the guy has Givi luggage attached. Not sure if these fit with the Givi rack as well though.

Looking at the site check the following

https://www.sw-motech-shop.co.uk/allprods.php

https://www.sw-motech-shop.co.uk/adapter-kit-for-carrier-2-pcs-for-givikappa-monokey-cases-

So its £200 for the rack + £20 for the adapters +£*** for the paniers

That first link makes no sence to me at all .

My brain doesnt bode well with this kinda stuff . So i gotta get that evo rail, plus the adapters for kappa/givi monokey panniers and a kappa or givi box that supports monokey system

It tells you in the description.

Adaptable to TRAX, AERO, Givi/Kappa, Krauser, Hepco & Becker and Shad cases by seperately available SW-MOTECH Side Carrier Adapter Kits

thats a fairly wide choice of manufacturers and each of them offer various styles. SW-Motech stuff is very good. it may turn out that the actual part you want isnt kept in stock here in the UK, but the UK importer will be able to order it for you, you can generally expect it to arrive in a couple of weeks. Of those its probably true that Givi/Kappa luggage will be the easiest to find used.. but if you want to buy new then any of them.. they all produce very good luggage.

Personally i wouldnt worry too much about the looks of panniers. just think about them in practical terms. as it will likely turn out that you only use the panniers occasionally. for example.. the panniers for my bike only get used once or twice a year. normally for trips abroad.. or occasionally when I need to use them to carry stuff here at home. (I don't have a car)

I saw that but wasnt sure what models within those brands would fit. I assumes any carrier from those brands will fit?!?

Im not worried if there a bit dented or grubby, my bikes 20years old.

Im going to be using them for when abroad and for weekends/hoildays round the UK.

GIVI do not list side panniers any more but they are available

But note this from WEMOTO

Complete GIVI Monokey Rack Kit Yamaha TDM 850 (96 - 01)

Incompatible with tubular side case holder PLA336. If you are considering a possible three cases configuration buy PLA336 + PB02 (rear plate bridge kit).

Not looking good for a GIVI system. Quick check does not show many other options for your bike.

Ive seen that first link before and it always says ‘discontinued’

Im not looking for Givi inparticular. I brought the bike with a monorack on and a kappa top box. So all i need is side luggage racks.

I have found this set up:

https://www.sw-motech-shop.co.uk/evo-carrier-black-yamaha-tdm-850-91-01-

But im not to keen on the boxes.it says its compatable with other makes but not sure what ones.

I think i may have to change the top box rack as the monorack arms are going to get in the way of the side luggage rails. I feel like im having a melt down over this

Hey everone,

I need some advice on where to find side luggage rails and boxes for a Yamaha TDM850. I have found one place near me that does them for my bike but not keen on the boxes. If anyone can help me out or poi t me in the right direction i will be forever gratefull!

P.s it curently has a givi monorack with givi top box. The rail seems to come down the side of the bike (below the rear seat) but no signs where i could attach a side pannier to
