I would holdfire on the trax panniers there has been some discussions on these over at the HUBB and a guy said his leaked like crazy.

How does the Yamaha Top box feel on the bike, I was fitting my own box the other day and its going to have to sit a long way back if its not going to infringe on my pillions comfort.

What do you say about the Alu coffer from Polo? The Zarges? 120€ for one piece! 240€ the coffers+20€ lock system+20€ mounting kit... 280€!!!

For more details visit: POLO MOTORRAD.

I think I will go for it! I have asked and they fit allright!

have fitted the zega pros from touratech and what a great pr.
good strong frame and boxes so solidly built.
previously had the yamaha panniers and let me down twice when used twice.
original set the lever operation broke on one and NEW 2nd set with the shorter keys that should have been all singing and dancing left me in the alps with bent key(twisted in the lock)
would advise the touratech cases anyday.
or i would have used the peli cases like scottnet but couldnt cope with the side opening.

Hi FINmud

I've got a set of Off-The-Road panniers and pannier frames on my Tenere and I'm happy with them. The panniers aren't as strong as Metal Mule's but strong enough and much cheaper. The frames seem to be as good as MM's and with them the panniers come closer to the rider than with MMs. Don't know about the original Yamaha panniers but I've seen SW Motech's Trax panniers and didn't really like the quality.

I noticed that you live in Finland too so feel free to send me a PM and come and see the panniers if you wish. I live in Parikkala and so does my friend who also has a Tenere and he has Metal Mule panniers on it.

Yep.

I've got these too.

They make much better seats than the normal Zega's....

Just realized that I replied to an old message so I guess you have bought your panniers already :).

hi,

On the Zarges cases i can, after 80000km, honestly say that they are great, as long as you don't hit the ground with it... I landed the side of a case on a rock with 5km/h and there was crack in it. The sheetalu is just to thin.

The frames OTR makes are undestructable though, so i would go for an OTR frame and H&B ot TT cases. Or better, an OTR frame and Really strong cases from Bernd Tesch.

regards,

Or just dont fall :P.

I have Sw-Motech cases, the frame looks even stronger than the TT one.
And its also easy to dissasemble.

The cases themselves also look quite solid, havent tested them at crashing.
They arent as big as the TT ones, but i have enough room.


I also had the Zega's on my BMW, very nice but also very hard to put on/take off once they are packed.
