Motorbike Panniers... that does not break too easily

[pitintheuk]

Hello All

I dropped my VFR1200 OEM pannier from barely above a meter high and it broke, like well broken. The other Pannier is already broken. At the cost of a pair of OEM honda panniers and the fragility of them combined to the hard fact I officially got 2 left hands. I am looking for alternatives and accepted the fact new ones might not look as good.

GIVI seems all around the place: but can I drop the box and only deal with a scratch? Also, owning some SW-Motech stuff, I know this company build high quality bike equipments. Any other brands you know or use?

My Givi V35 survived sliding along a road for about 20 feet with minor scratches. I have a black rubberised plastic car bumper strip on it for extra protection now.

With the weight of the bike a rider and pillion and 10 days worth of gear all resting on the pannier

Alloy panniers ?

When the going gets hard, go soft.

Bmw panniers seam to last well in most events

Not the vario panniers! Those things crumple like a house of cards if you drop the bike with them expanded

Very a slight delay

I drag and drop the picture but nothing shows in the preview...

That's because drag and drop doesn't work
