Hopefully i should have all the parts here this week.
I would of loved the black boxes but at �425 for a new set i reckon beggers can't be choosers, colour doesn't matter much anyway i'll probably have them kicked to death with me sort ass legs. |
XTZ production year: 2009
Make and model of luggage frame: Yamaha OEM Make, model and size of side cases: Yamaha OEM Make and model of topcase rack: none Make, model and size of topcase: none Country of purchase: UK Date/Price of purchase (by elements, including VAT, in local currency): Rack 113.99�, Side case 512� (both ) Pros: rack is very small and not noticeable without cases, set looks nice Cons: lock a bit fidly to use, locking method a bit awkward Comments: nice but narrow (30L only), plastic cases with aluminium covers, not full metal (but that's nice for waterproofness). Locking system is awkward to use. |

I'm planning to buy one Kev |
I do not have a top box yet :p
I was reading the luggage instructions and apparently Yamaha recommends riding with either the sidecases or the top box but not all 3. |
Finally Arrived
I finally got the Hepco & becker racks after 36 days Grrrrr.
Got them fitted tonight and realised that i need adaptors to secure the panniers onto the racks. As i bought the panniers 2nd hand i wasn't aware of this. They are big, sitting about 1 inch wider than the handle bars on each side. And the whole setup cost me Just under �400. All i have to do now is cover up the KTM logo. http://2.media.tumblr.com/e0bwUg069m...2H2co1_500.jpg http://15.media.tumblr.com/e0bwUg069...vz2No1_500.jpg |
here's a couple of pics of my Ardcases fitted to my metal mule racks.
They are built to order so can be any size you like. I chose a slimmer pannier as I have a full set of metal mule luggage but wanted a smaller box for solo weekend trips/ shopping etc. They come with easy to follow fitting instructions and are very well made. Price varies depending what you want but I paid just over �300 for mine delivered http://stumpy.smugmug.com/photos/532885023_AjoyV-L.jpg http://stumpy.smugmug.com/photos/532885343_vssgn-L.jpg |
Stumpy, the cases look very functional but that number plate is just brilliant!!!

I have heard of TDM900 oem side cases being stolen in my country before, very easy to steal as I have heard... |
I wouldn't say they're easy to steal.
You need to unlock the cases to be able to manoeuver the 2 differents levers needed to release them from the rack. the locking system itself is "stuck" between the case and the exhaust so not easily reachable for prying/brute force. I may be wrong, but I trust them. |
