Show Us Your Panniers

[HamptonYami]

Haha that's awesome. I was looking at pictures and told myself there's no way it can only be 12L roughly each side. I'm calling my yami dealer tomorrow to try and pass that word so Yamaha doesn't look like a bunch of morons.

Looked through all 11 pages and did not see the Mica's so I'd thought I might post a pic. I really like them, the pocket in them makes everything stay in place, despite they being side loaders. This is the second time that I went with side loaders and I really could not be any happier. I use my bike as my daily traveler, so it always is loaded. About 87 liters with a 10" and an 8".

I was almost ready to pull the trigger on some Yamaha panniers until I saw the price for so little space (less than 30L combined!). What was the price for those that have the jesses system, and for those that have the TraX boxes, do you think you could post a picture from the front of your bike so I can see how much they stick out? Thanks.

FWIW I bought my OEM panniers from http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/. Best luck navigating the website they sell a lot of Yamaha gear ...
I know the list was aprox. $1100 including the mounting kit. But I swear I got my set up (no top box) for less than $900. I can not find my reciept and the email has no price on it .... It was a discount applied by them that surprised me-!! I have been using them for 1500 miles but not on ruff stuff and they are very happy.
They open and close very well.
best,

Hey Clem, nice job on the Micatechs! Looks great! What's the overall width at the rear? Hope that's not to personal!

Did the database idea die or what? Nobody has added any info? I'll contribute when I get the Jesse bags in a week or two if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Thanks Jason, they are 37" at the very rear, and due to the bike angles, the front of the bags are 39.5, as are the widest portion of the hand guards.

Ended up grabbing a pair from yamahapartshouse.net . Ended up selling them to me for cost. Saved so much money I bought the tank bag too. I'll be going to them from now on.

I love it how allegiances are made ... one way or another it's OK ... it's good for all of us; can you dig it-? I knew you could-!!

Here's mine with the Trax. I transfered them from my KLR.

 

[szctom]

I was planning to go for a Trax Evo combo 37/45 + Trax Evo topcase but then I realized that I will use those panniers only for longer trips two up and that will be like one or max two times in a year.
Otherwise they will stay in the garage as they are too big for commuting, solo riding. For longer on/off road trips I will probably use soft luggage Giant Loop Great Basin.
That's why I thought about SW-Motech AERO cases as they will be much more in use I would say.
And when we will go for two up trips I can always add an additional small roll/tail bag on the top of the top case to cover that capacity difference: Trax Evo combo 37+45=82, AERO 31x2=62.
Is there anyone using SW-Motech AERO sidecase set?
How those AERO will fit the look of black ST1200 as usually you can see them on Multistrada or KTM SMT??

Wasp had a set for a while - check the early part of his thread on ADVrider for pics.

When wandering the net I found this place in the UK , as it was just round the corner from my mate that has a S10 sent him round to have a look .

He said they were well made and solid if a little agricultural. They sell 2 panniers with fitting kit for the S10 for just over the £500 mark.

I am hoping to get up there in a couple of weeks

Bernie is a nice chap. He had an S10 on his stand at the Excel bike show. The only shame was that it was a balanced system rather then having a larger box on the right.

Another choice for cheap and cheerful is Roger at Ardcases. Another very nice guy and he is cheaper than Bernie. www.ardcases.co.uk I believe.

This make me wonder about a frame that would attach to the OEM stays. Maybe a U-shaped channel at the top with a square peg at the fwd, lower corner that plugs into the recepticle. I have almost zero fabication skills, but I'm sure there's -'ahem'- somebody -'cough'- that could pull it off. 8) A bonus would be a rear cross-brace.

Pictures of my Micatech V2 37 liter cases mounted on SW Motech detachable racks. I also own a 2009 KLR650 with SW Motech racks so the bags will work on both bikes.

The right one is splayed.

The right one is splayed.

That cost $20.00 extra for proper splaying.

I splay all my cats....didn't know a motorcycle needed that. O0

Hey!
Quit splaying around!
