Pannier frames?

[gingerbeemer08]

Evening all,
Anyone know of any pannier frames that enable alpos alluminium panniers to be mounted to the 800gs??
Also, does anyone know if the panniers/ frame for the panniers fitted to the 800ST can be put on a GS??

I'm fairly sure they don't. If they did, then I'm pretty sure we'd have heard by now. Interesting idea though!

SW Motech frames can be bought with Alpos adaptors. Friend of mine has them on his XC800 Tiger.

I do believe that Alpos have a fitting kit that uses "pucks" for support and securing to a standard rectangular frame.
I too have asked the same question ( or there abouts) and have had a fantastic response with fellow members (friends) on here..
They vary in price from £144 to £200..
Most recommended sw motec but there is others about...
When I was searching I spent a lot of time reading and not enough time digesting the relevant information....

There are many many threads on the subject so take your time and try not to do what I did and get the answers over 2 nights...There is just too many threads to read just for 2 nights...

Good luck....Tosh
