Roadtorque Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Think this will depend on how much you are going to use them,, I spent £300 on givi hard case,, my lad spent £50 on oxford soft case expandable with rain covers,, both systems held about the same,, Givi easy to fit & remove,, Oxford a bit longer to strap on & tie down,, so if your only going to use them once in a blue moon then oxford, other wise givi,, think I saw some panniers + tank bag on the for sale, bike related,, Enjoy scotland, I did,, Ride the a82 through Glen Coe, Stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i got these buffalo panniers, used them a couple of times now and cant fault them, they were about 50 notes from J&S, also can get a tail pack like stu posted so you would have loads of storage....dont forget a little tank bag for the camera....oh, you would need something like this for a tank bag, basically something straps down under the tank then the tank bag straps to that.... look at the first pic herehttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm99/tmbf_photos/IMG_1757.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I rate the Oxford Products soft luggage. I've got an expandable tank bag, sports tail pack and the new Sprint range panniers. Some of it costs a bit but I've found that you can get bargains if you go for older stock (from previous seasons range / colours) and they are really good quality and pretty tough.Just one thing, I'm not sure you can use it with a solo / seat cowl. I think it's recommended to use it with the original seat.The panniers are a bit of a fiddle to fit and once fitted you're not going to get them off in a hurry. The tail pack can be fitted and removed easier as it has a zip to remove the bag from the base but you still end up having to remove bungy cords.The Tank bag is the best for easy of use. It's magnetic and the only strap is one around the head stock which is easy to unclick and take the bag with you.http://sportsbiker.net/photos/mr_flibble/images/33221/original.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 They do a converted base with straps for plastic tanks.http://www.oxprod.com/index.php?pg=3&action=dept&id=16&pid=230&p= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i know a few people who have melted straps and luggage with under seat exhausts thats why i pointed out ventura they use a rack which bolts to your subframe and everything is clear of your exhaust and you dont have to use extra straps on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaaan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Just ordered the OXford Humpback tank bag and strap down attachment for my bike as it too has a plastic tank. Hopefully it should arrive by the time I get home. I can also recommend the Baglux tank cover and bags. A bit pricey if you're not going to use it often but worth a look. Shame they don't make them for my new bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jade Mongoose Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 i got these buffalo panniers, used them a couple of times now and cant fault them, they were about 50 notes from J&S, also can get a tail pack like stu posted so you would have loads of storage....dont forget a little tank bag for the camera....oh, you would need something like this for a tank bag, basically something straps down under the tank then the tank bag straps to that.... look at the first pic herehttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm99/tmbf_photos/IMG_1757.jpg Just bought a set of these panniers on ebay. Also ordered the tailpack from J&S. Got it this morning and it's very good quality. Haven't tried it on the bike yet cos, well, it's been lashing it down for the last 50 squillion years.Got all i need for my camping trip at the end of august now. Although i might end up selling the bike and buying a canoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
