slug Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Finally, real luggage for my V11 The panniers are made by Happy Trail of Boise, ID. $420 for the pair. The racks are home made from 1/2" square steel tubing. Mounts are home made from aluminum bar stock. All hardware is stainless steel. I welded two support tabs to the bottom of the rear subframe and stick through slots cut in the undertail. I'll post better pics of the frame and mounts when I get a chance. Yeah, the silver boxiness of the panniers messes the look of the bike a bit, but I'm willing to sacrifice looks for functionality, and at almost half the cost of Givis or H&B cases...

Guest ratchethack Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Beats the living thermo-paste outta the usual alternative -- a huge top box hung so far up and out that on the road, it looks like a following UFO scouting out a new place to insert a rectal probe. . . Gotta be lots kinder on MPG and the effects of side-wind buffetting, too.
