audiomick Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Ok, thanks for the info. I haven't got the carrier yet (coming soon...) but I do already have a set of similar panniers. When I get the carrier and get them mounted, I'll post a photo of mine. Could take a few weeks.... Mick 2

audiomick Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Art, thanks for the link. That does indeed look very similar to what I am intending to buy. That is this: https://www.hepco-becker.de/kompletttraegerset-seitenkoffertraeger-und-rohrgepaeckbruecke-topcasetraeger-schwarz-fuer-moto-guzzi-le-mans-v-11-sport-naked-1999.html And it is considerably cheaper than that. However, since I live in Germany, I am a little hesitant to buy something from the U.S. that would no doubt attract some sort of import duty, and "probably" would fit. Hepco Becker is a German company, and I already have a rack from them for the V35 Imola and one for the GTR 1000 Kawasaki, and a top box and a pair of panniers from Hepco and Becker to put on the racks. Unless someone can assure me with 100% certainty that Tusk is something like "re-badged" Hepco and Becker, and that the rack in the ad will definitely fit, I'd prefer to stick with the brand I already have. 1

I've got the same rack on my Greenie. The HB JR bags alternate between the Sport and the EV whenever needed. 1
Speedfrog Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I don't know about the reference to Tusk, but the photos clearly show a Hepco & Becker sticker on that rack... For less than a quarter of the price from new - providing it's still available from H&B - if that's what I was after, I'd be all over it like a monkey on a banana tree... 1

I could have sworn that the sticker on the rack on the GTR doesn't have that much silver on it. But I've had a closer look and done some clicking around in the interweb, and I think you are right. It looks like I should probably get on to that... Quote For less than a quarter of the price from new - providing it's still available from H&B - I'm convinced it is still available from HB. See my link further up. It's on the web site, and SD have it listed as well. SD claims between 2 and 8 weeks delivery time, HB says "exact delivery time on request", so I reckon they only build it when the order comes in. Yes, it is less than a quarter of the new price. Hmmm.... Funny thing: HB lists €430,- and SD €369,- https://www.stein-dinse.biz/product_info.php?products_id=68139 dunno how they do it, but SD seems to always be cheaper for HB products than HB themselves. 3
