Would anyone be interested in a rack for ortleib/touratech panniers Reply to Thread

Hi all


Most of the R Nine T luggage options are retro and I don't think fit the Urban style


I have always liked ortlieb panniers - now touratech seem to have an exclusive distribution on them as their own product


I was thinking of making up a rack to mount the panniers like this





they come in most colours and the bags from turatech are £276 for the pair https://shop.touratech.co.uk/side-bag-endurance-click-pair-orange-by-touratech-waterproof.html




I'll buy the frame hoops at £45 each




And use this mounting kit at £65 : it should make the frame totaly removable in a couple of minutes when you don't need the panniers.





I was wondering if anyone else would be interested if I can find someone to make up the brackets to join the frame hoops to the mounting kit?

Not a bad price for the bags, prefer black tho, or seat colour matching plastic..
I’m sorted for panniers bags on my Turban.
Not a bad idea tho

Good idea but best would be if the factory would offer proper hardbags in plastic & aluminum right from the factory
Otherwise Hepco-Becker has real luggage between 38 liter (aluminum) and 42 Liter (plastic) to offer;I know these are not Ortlieb softbags...

thanks for the reply

BMW does sell items for R Nine T now but they look like they're "Unit Garage " re branded so ok for retro but not off-road

Re Hepco and Becker - yep they do .. just fancied the Ortlieb soft luggage

All BMW sells for the R9T is useless junk for hipsters who would never go touring in first place...
It is a great bike that deserves good factory luggage !
AS also a center-stand ! What do you do if you have a flat tire on a tubed tire and no center-stand ?
But Pete I'm sure there is a market for your stuff & good idea,too because Ortlieb makes good quality soft-gear.
