Honda CB1 Panniers/top box/etc help needed.

[salsarider79]

I'm going to be using my Honda CB1 to commute, but am hoping to do some touring on it too. What I need is some advice on panniers, racks, etc.

I don't fancy the idea of throw overs because in Ride magazine last month, the rider of the Kwak 1400 said they scratch the paintwork. While I have a cheap bike, it's clean, well looked after, averaged just 3000miles a year and I want to keep it looking good.

Does anyone know of somewhere that does proper racks for these bikes?

Loads of places mate... I only know one, and it ain't cheap

They are known to be one of the best though mate.

EDIT: Other companies sell Givi stuff cheaper!!

if you use the material or a towel under your panniers (throw-overs), then you shouldn't get scratches

Wemoto do a rack for the NT400/650 Bros, which may fit.. but couldn't see a price
