I wanted to share with you this unusual pannier I bought.
I bought and installed it for my Bonnie.
They're rather easy to set up, and clearly very sturdy. The whole thing show quality and reliability. And it does fit the look of a cafe racer / scrambler style oriented bike.

The capacity is actually quite big for a small bag, and it's waterproof. You don't need paniers racks for them, as they are tied to the bike frame.

It's really easy to set them up, unless, as I did, you want to still be able to fit a pillion passenger. Then it's quickly become a headache between pillion space for the legs ( to reach footrests) and avoiding the bottom of it (which is plastic for some absurd reason !!!! ) from touching the pipes.

I ended up having to put the straps over my seat instead of under it. Which is not the nicest display, but hey, when ridging, my missus Bum is hiding those so I guess, that makes them invisible .

In the end I really love not having to carry a backpack (live for the ride dress for the crash, right... ) and those have the benefit of turning into a messenger bag in 10 seconds...

I love 'em and will probably get another one.

That's it !

First photo is from me, the scrambler is the marketing image.

 

Yeah ! It does look better than the "harley" style panniers or the plasticky ones....

 

The thing is, okay those are, somewhat small, but in the end, as you can secure them in an extended way, they actually are quite roomy ! And the front pocket fits an item of this size with extra space. So yeah roomy little thing.

 

oops forgot the link.

an item of this size :
