Hepco and Becker Stdard Alu Vs Aluminium-exclusive
 
Looking for a pannier system, the H&B system is looking favorite was just looking between the Standard and Exclusive. Has anyone had the chance to do a comparison. I am looking for off road capable including of course the odd off

I got the SW Motech Trax,very impressive...both build quality and price

Thanks, What is the quality of the frame , so besides for the locks do you think they would survive some off roading ?

Hepco and becker
 
The Hepco and Becker frames are good and sturdy, and would be okay in a spill off road. That said, I'm still waiting for mine, and I ordered them months ago! Who are you getting them from? Have they given you a delivery date? :BangHead:

I spoke to Motobins ( http://www.motobins.co.uk/ ) the other day and they say the frames for new XTZ will only be available in 6 months time. I believe they are the only distributor in the UK so chances are whoever you ordered from are going through them.

.......er No they are not, check out Metal Mule as I have got some on my Z'ed now and it was the prototype. They should be in production by now. Cheers SteveD

Hepco and Becker
 
I too thought Motobins was the only importer, I last heard from them six weeks ago:

Hello Doug

Sorry I have spoken to Hepco & Becker again and they tell me these are still in production and will be another 4 - 5 weeks but possibly longer.

Regards from Damien

Moto-Bins Online

So, we're certainly into "possibly longer", aren't we? :sad7:

SteveD, I was aware that Metal Mule were doing some but the reference to Motobins were as the agents for H&B systems. I am interested in the Metal Mule but the price seems over the top but I will speak to them.

Thanks

The Hepco&Becker pannierrack has arrived yesterday and will be installed next saturday(again due to a very busy workshop). As soon as it's installed I'll post some pics of it with and without the panniers(alu standards). Greetz, Hans.
