Ok - I do a lot of photography and fancy a couple of panniers to chuck on the back of the bike for when im out and about.

Cheap and cheerful as usual but main thing is, got to fit over the huge ass of my bike (Jinlun Texan II)

Suggestions on a postcard please Smile

Oh - I found these... reckon they are ok/fit?

The panniers you've linked are designed for a push bike, and probably wouldn't fit onto a motorbike, and may not stand up to the windspeeds you get at 60+.

I've seen these panniers from Ghostbikes recommended here a few times and they look ok, although I bought the more expensive Oxford branded versions.

Cheers for the reply Smile

Like the look of the ones you linked! Reckon they are big enough (wide) to go over the rear arch on the Jinlun?

Cheers

I don't see why not. They are adjustable in width, with 3 velcro straps and various straps and bungeee points to secure them. Only small concern, due to me not having seen your bike in the flesh, is that one strap is designed to go under the seat with the other 2 over the top. Is the rear pad on your bike relatively easy to remove?

3 bolts... :/ that said most of the time the pannier would be permanently on Smile

Cheers for the link, shall order today/tommorow Very Happy

Having thought about it a bit, if you're wanting the luggage to haul around expensive camera and lenses, maybe try a tailpack instead?

Not sure I'd want my expensive camera sticking out waiting to be hit by passing cars/trees etc Mr. Green

what about hard cases? strong can be cheap and keep it safe and will also mean they are secure in most cases.

I use some Ghost bikes panniers the mrs got me for xmas, they have 3 vencro straps, one to go under the seat, the others over.
The one for under I actually just wedge between the front and rear seat, as the Virago has seprate seats.
Works a treat, and as my weight it also on the frontmost strap it is not going anywhere. Use it daily for work Smile
