Looking for your wisdom on panniers

[Skytower]

I had a set of givi trekker outback cases. One of the latches wore out where it attaches to the bike. No replacement parts are available for these cases, aside from replacement.

I won't be buying Givi cases again.

With that said, I'm still using the Givi Racks as an attachment point for the Mosco Moto Panniers. They do have a lockable latch built in(lock not included), as well as an optional cable lock.
I did need to make some spacers to attach the pannier mounts, instead of grinding off the Givi mounting lugs.

I have looked at these and like them but I hear quite a few ppl complaining about the locks just about breaking their ignition key. Also read ppl saying if they had to do it again they would go with this or that product. So honestly it’s causing me to be leary

I had this happen on a rented ST earlier this year. The ignition key got stuck in the Yamaha OEM pannier and was a pain in the ass to remove and so I never locked that pannier out of fear of breaking the only ignition key I had.

Is that what you need?

I needed both sides, and new lid seals.
I'm going to stick with the Mosko Moto bags, since switching back and forth is a pain.

Maybe I can get some of the Mosko mounts for the Givi boxes... Hmmm...

@Don T and his wife have been traveling the Americas for well over a year now. They're on Honda CRF 300s and use Mosko Moto luggage. I don't "think" the ones they use need mounting hardware. The stayed with us back in November '23. We did some maintenance on the bikes, and I don't remember seeing any framework. I do remember it being extremely heavyweight. Tony (spelled Tonny) raved about the luggage and the company's customer service.

Here is my setup. Used on the tenere and dr650. I have found no downside yet. I imagine the coolers would make great sliders if I went down. Yet to experience that one.

Igloos, Touratech, and Moskomoto

Here's a setup I'd like to share. It has worked really well in hauling the groceries and other sundries. The bags theirselves are pretty cheap if the attaching pieces are already had and the coolers are pretty tough. I glanced a light pole baluster with one and near knocked me off the bike...

These are Brooks Autosports panniers. I've had them for 5 trouble free years. Sometimes I definitely overload them and no issues. They never come off except to do a thorough cleaning.

Left side is slightly smaller than right due to exhaust but the entire width across the rear is even. (If that makes sense. Sorry it's late. Haha)
I'll try and find a rear picture.

Love the colour scheme, looks great

I’ve got the bumot all aluminum, quite detach panniers. And they are nice. Pricey but nice.

When planning my cross-country trip, I wrestled with choosing my luggage. There are tons of good options. You can read about it here, if you're bored.

"Soft bags" was my only non-negotiable (purely preference).

I ended up taking the hit and purchasing the Backcountry 35L Standard with the Aux Pox. They served me well on the trip, with no issues, and continue to do so. I'd buy them again.

It was one of the parts.
I gave up on repairing the mount. Replacing it with a more reliable alternative is on my list now.
Thank you!

Bumot, holds full camping gear, tent, sleeping stuff, clothes and cooking gear. Top case always empty to hold helmet and gloves. Strong as a pair of crashbars, saved me several times and never budged…

You read my mind... made for the brave!

One of the primary reasons I chose soft bags...I suck.

I knew I'd be dropping the bike at some point, and that "some point" was yesterday. There was still ice in the Allegheny National Forest - on top of a slick clay slurry.

I feared hard cases would crumple in situations like this and would need replacement.

My bags were good after a good power-washing.

I just installed the OEM new model side case rack on my 23. It was tough to install. Very tight. Not even screws on the same places like the old model. It looks good on the bike though. Now I'm gonna save some money to buy the boxes. I think it has same litter size . Not sure how it will look like. Seems like it will not be centered on the bike. The exhaust side will take more space

I assume that those are for the Yama-GIVIs?

The key to installing Givi luggage racks and crash bars is to not tighten up anything until all the bolts are loosely in place.

 

[mybackhurts]

These are right off of the Yamaha website. They're GIVI brand and can likely be found cheaper elsewhere.

Solid aluminum side cases for extra storage of gear, load capacity of 35L per side. Lid includes four strap loops. Lockable case using the same ignition key. $520ea + $250 for mounting hardware.

I use these. They are not very water tight but they do the job. I would get soft bags if I was going offroad.

yes the new yamaha made by givi, i think the box has a nice look, im not gonna do any offroad anyway, i think it will be enough

I have GIVI Trekker 48L on both sides, and while they hold a lot of stuff, they are very fragile. They will not the abuse of Bumot, Jesse or Tourtech. A tip over in my garage bent the box AND frame. I hit a speed bump in Guatemala and a bag bounced off from the cheap bracket.

They're bound to have a better latch. The best thing about the older OE boxes is that the mounting hardware is almost invisible.
