Keeping panniers unmarked

[Rick 1600]

New Adventure coming on 15th March, what can I put on them to help stop the corrosion?

 

[SURMANATOR]

Try wiping over with a light spry of WD40 kepped mine ok although dont ride with them on all the time, what ever you do dont polish them be like painting the forth bridge !

Cancel the order for the new bike. Buy a minty 1150 Adventure and you wont have to worry about the oem panniers .

Cancel the luggage and ask for a rebate. Buy a set of Stahlkoffer Panniers at half the price and they DON'T rust.

Conversley, don't use the panniers. Just keep them wrapped up in bubble film in your garage

ACF50 sprayed onto a rag and wiped over. Much stronger and more corrosion-repellent than WD40.

polish them with "Bilt Hamber auto balm"

I find it difficult to believe "Bilt Hamber" products are not more widely known than they are.

Fantastic stuff.

I would have thought there was a limited market for bovine anal lubricant.

 

[BAKERMAN]

give them to me

Trouble with Acf50 is it gets a bit sticky and atracts dirt to build up

How often do you need to reapply and how do you wash it off in the spring?

And if you carry a young lady on the back do you need to apply a prophylactic to the panniers??

Mmm, think Ill give the bovine anal balm a go....

Cheers guys for ALL your ideas

I know you can't see it but watch the inside/ underside of the the panniers.

I'm no fan of acf50 after it's total failure to protect the bobbins on my r100r discs but I don't see what's wrong with a quality wax polish, or possibly Mer (keep that away from the black rubber bits)

 

[rattler]

Sorry to say but you've NO chance of keeping them unmarked what ever you do to them

Well they are for using aren't they Rattler

 

[Rick 1600]

I phoned Bilt Hamber or whoever , their sending a tin of something, spray on, will report back sometime.

Do a search for vinyl wrapping here and loads of people have gone that route.

You can DIY cheaply but it isn't expensive to have it done professionally, then you can peel it off at any time and have unmarked panniers

Nothing wrong with keeping on top of things.
