Panniers - Givi / SW Mototech / Bumot

[Mart75]

I can see there have (inevitably) been a few pannier threads. I have the Ducati panniers that came with the bike, but thinking about next year and two-up Europe trips (optimistically it would seem at them moment). Looking at the top loading aluminium / steel paniers for a bit more capacity - wondered whether any of you had experience with the usual suspects and what you'd recommend.

Have a look at the Hepco and Becker site. I’ve got the xplorer in black, really nice and well built. My mates got the standard aluminium set, really substantial. There is a UK dealer called Motobin who are pretty good.

If I remember rightly there is also a nut underneath that requires removal - this website is useful to see exploded view of parts at any time:

I am no mechanic but it was a simple job for me

It all depends on how deep your pockets are, the genuine Ducati aluminum pannier ( made by Touratech) will cost you around 2K where as a set of givi metal ones will be around £800

[Mart75]

Definitely not as deep as Ducati - that just doesn't seem value for money - I do think the Givi ones look easy to fit and well made

Have a look at SHAD, they are well made and good looking.
