S10 and Touratech

[Peter]

Do any of you own a S10 with Tourarach panniers?
I'm trying to find out how they look, if the passenger will have leg room, etc. I currently own a FJR and my wife has room, but I'm not sure how it will be, being on a S10 and Tourtech panniers.

 

[HoebSTer]

you should have most all of the same leg room as you would without any panniers at all.

Over $2000.00 for hree Touratech cases, WOW.
:'(
I'm in the wrong business.

I'm very happy with my Givi Trekkers with less than 1/2 the cost ::013::

This must be it?

Where did you get them? Do you have a smaller case on the left side because of the exhaust?

Thanks

Here's where I got mine:

3-pack of 1 46L and 2 33L here
http://www.amotostuff.com/super_tenere_luggage/TRKPACK3.html

I got three 33L boxes as I thought the 46L for a top box was too much and the 46L for the right side just didn't look right to me, pun intended.

Then, I painted them.

I am as well. If some of the others were the same price, I may have considered something different.

Good price on all three cases. One key.
33L X 2
46L X 1

Are these cases good? Any issues?

These are what I have, although I have 2 of the 46L and one of the 33L. I had to buy them individually for that combo and then re-keyed them alike. I like them. I have though had a water leakage issue on mine, but have contacted Givi and they are replacing mine. Not sure what's what as I have never had a Givi bag leak. Possibly an issue with early production units?

Hey Mellow,

How about a pic of the side view with your painted cases please?

Nice job, Mellow, the bags look good!
I think they'd look good on a black bike as well...

What kind of paint did you use? (for plastic?)

Here's my write up. I need to post a follow up. The paint has held up well but that area gets lots of small rock hits and I take a sharpie marker tip to touch up any of those. The silver panels are aluminum.

That was a great writeup...you do nice work.

I haven't purchased saddlebags yet, but am leaning toward the Givis because the cost is so reasonable...If I get them, I will probably be following your lead on
the black bed liner paint...but might try painting them Raven to match the bike also...probably following with several coats of clear for durability...

Cool, if you do, can't wait to see how it turns out.

If you remove the panels, the underlying plastic is black and smooth but there is a gap between that and those cross bars that the panels take up. I was thinking of even using undercoating on the underlying plastic and tossing the silver panels. I don't like the Give on the panels but didn't have an easy way to get rid of them.

What mounting rack is that? Really nice and tight to the bike

That's the sw motech rack but I switched to the givi rack as it brings the bags up higher.

 

[jackfis]

this is what a 46L looks like on the right side...finds it too wide and causing a bit of air resistance, would get a 33L on both sides if to do again

I have the Zega Pros from Touratech with the sliver anodizing. Solid racks, solid panniers. I have the smaller sizes as i don't like massive panniers. No top case, as I intend to add a fuel cell. Ill take some pics tomorrow and post them. I don't run a passenger seat or pegs, so not sure I can answer your question completely.
