Well he (nick) finally got his arse in gear and got his panniers, he fitted them this week and is a happy bunny now, I am sure he thinks he is off around the world Laughing Scares me silly the thought of riding it, something that I wont be doing since I cant even reach the floor on his bike let alone the extra wieght it is compared to mine, its a monster! Probably not your cup of tea but thought what the hell:

You are probably right! Its surprising how much you can get in them, we popped into supermarket on way home last night and got a few bags and there was still room for more so looks like a good investment after all. Only snag is you cant fit helmets in them as too narrow so he says he needs the top box now..any excuse I guess.

They look good. What make are they? I thought you and Nick had gone off on a round the world trip Laughing Neither you or him had been on either forum much. Laughing Has he got hold of the touratech catalogue yet? I got one the other day...far too expensive for me but nice to browse. Very Happy https://www.touratech.gbr.cc/

Hiya Nb, nice to see a friendly face. No we've not gone off around the world just yet as much as Nick would just love to jack his job and do just that, lol!
He has still been on his forums but I know he tends to use www.advrider.com and a gs one moreso these days still with his same username.
The panniers are Hepco & Becker I believe, I persuaded him not to go for the metal ones, I thought they looked dead ugly but then at the end of the day it was down to him, after all its his bike.
Yes, he says he does have the new Touratech catalogue but he gets a bit of his stuff made, saves a fortune!
The panniers and other stuff especially for the BMW owner can be viewed at:
www.motobins.co.uk
Hows the Strom, I take it you still have it? I still say that its more comfy on the back than this new bike he has Laughing

What is there in the other one?

I do this. Topcase is space for lid(when parking) or back pack(when riding). Then I must put chain lube, rain wear, rain gloves, rain boots covers, tape, cable ties, water etc in one pannier. I will keep the other one free for additional luggage(or souvenirs).
If I separate those craps in two panniers, the rest of space is usually unsatisfactory for additional luggage.
I'm always worrying about what to carry those crap things, and I have triple space but practical luggage space is one pannier only Laughing . And I often remove panniers and forget rain wear and get drenched Laughing .
Now I must rethink about "Minimum luggage in west bag packing" idea/technic from SS user.
Grr I became thread hijacker again Sorry.
