I am looking to purchase a set of panniers at some point in the next few months and I wanted to gather some opinions.
Currently, I am torn between buying used 1200GS panniers (several sets on ebay) and fabricating some racks or buying a complete set (new or used).
My questions are:
1. Has anyone tried fitting 1200GS panniers to an 1150GS? Are they worth the bother?
2. If I buy new, I don't want to spend too much so Project Vern, Stahlkoffer, Wunderlich are all out. What can people suggest?
(I was looking at Hepco & Becker as they seem reasonably priced and are apparently good quality).
