Oxford bargain?

[cc123]

Well planning on doing many trips + a Euro blast next year, does this seem like a bargain?

My credit card is almost out!

I have 1st time luggage, from the 2004 range. Feel free to try them out buddy, you can have mine for a tenner if you want! I got mine in the all-in-one deal for £60 on ebay last year.

They're the same as mark's ones he had on his zzr. They have the removeable covers for them.

If all goes well, I'll have an sv and a hornet on thursday

It's not a huge bargain (it's only about £5 cheaper than Buster's sell it for normally).

I have one of the 1st Time tailpacks and it is starting to look a bit tatty after only a couple of months. Cheap, but don't expect it to last - or be very waterproof! You do get a waterproof cover, but it's just a thick plastic bag with an elasticated bottom that you put over it.

Really Greg, a tenner???
Don't buy an SV, your regret the power lose!!


I thought this was a bargain, seems quite cheap for waht you get. Also would the pannier 'deform' with the heat for the can, I think my can would get in the way?

Is your can high level?

[instigator]

Hmm, not sure if the exhaust would touch the panniers or not. They didn't on my er5, were well clear of it. Try a post on the ninja forum to see if anyone has any experience with them. I'm quite sure I have everything for it anyway. Straps, bungee's and what not.

If you're down this way, you're free to take a look, save yourself £20. I'm sure they're the same one's anyway. You can get them cheaper than £35 on ebay, I'm quite sure.

well man, you can get the panniers and a tankbag and a tailpack for 69 squids on m&p.........I think thats cool......

Standard height can but it seems to sit high enough to touch the pannier. Will need to check that out. A Euro trip is on the cards for next year 100% and NEED luggage.

If it's standard height I doubt it'll touch. Seen plenty of ZX6's using panniers.

Hein Gericke always have old Oxford luggage cheap.

Infinity also have the Tank bag, tailback and panniers in a set for £65!

Loads of traders are flogging oxford 1st time luggage (new) on eBay quite cheap.

Also, if you are worried about the exhaust clearance, then go to your nearest bike shop and ask. They will probably let you try the panniers on your bike, or if not they can probably tell you if it´ll be a problem. In either case, just start seeming unsure whether you really need luggage after all, thank em for your help and say you may come back later after a think, and then make a hasty exit.

those oxford panniers definately seem like a bargain to me, I've been noticing them on ebay as well (35 quid with free delivery) and I think I'll be ordering some soon

I think they have a heat resistant backing so should be ok even with a high level exhaust...

Hi, i just bought a set of eGay for £29.99, they do the trick very well! Just been to Derbyshire with them on last weekend.

Managed to fit 2 sleeping bags, a blanket, and an airbed in the main compartments, and smalls in the side pockets! They were out all night in a horrific storm with thrashing rain, thunder, lightning etc at the bottom of a valley ( without the rain covers on i might add, purely because i forgot to put them on and didnt wanna go outside at 1am in the storm to fit them ). They clear the can on my GS500 easily, and ive also been told by "Feef" that they clear the can "Just" on his Thunderace. Dont know if thats any use to you.

Just got my an Oxford expandable tank bag from a place in Matlock Bath for £29.99 aswell which i thought was bloody good

(btw, both my panniers and tank bag are Oxford First Time range.
