BUMOT Defender EVO Pannier System - XT1200Z Super Tenere

40 and 36 litres and the large topcase (holds a system helmet, navigation and gloves… and then some…)
what mounting system did you use?
I used the Givi racks and the Tusk metal panels on the backs of the soft panniers. Needed to make a attachment mechanism. But works slick.what mounting system did you use?
I had Honda panniers on my Varadero. Closing/locking them used the same mechanism that held them on to the frames. I was leaving a friend's house one day and they called me back and handed me something I had forgotten. I quickly opened one of the panniers and chucked the item in. A few miles later I was passing a grave yard with a flower seller outside when I heard a bang followed by a grinding noise. One pannier had left the bike and was sliding down the empty road. The flower seller was sitting with his mouth open as the pannier stopped a few yards in front of him.2013 OEM boxes...and then there was one.
Took my ride on Utah's Skyline drive (between Hwy 31 and 29) and my left box popped off and disappeared. Must have been over some washboard as the road wasn't that bumpy and I didn't hit anything. Retracked 25 miles hoping an ATV rider found it and set it on the side of the road. Full of my weather gear and a camping chair. So.... not a fan of the OEM's. Brooks Autosport boxes on the way. Hope I love them...the price is certainly good. On sale for $769 (was $1,099). Anyone have experience with them?
