SW-Motech Alloy Panniers

[BikerBob]

Not sure if people are aware of these new alloy panniers from SW-Motech apparently due out March 2008?

Look remarkably like the 1200 GSA ones. Will be interesting to see final pricing and yet another option for people to choose from.

Regards Bob

Looks an interesting option

Best hold back on any TT etc order, unless they extend the 10% offer

Currently have 5 sets on order for Tossers which entitles us to more than 10% discount.

The power of group purchasing

Have the finlal pricing filed away, posted the reyail costs back in NOvember I think

Found the retiail prices of the Trax:

45 Litre pannier left or right side £176.20 Black £160.10 Silver
37 Litre pannier left or right side £168.50 Black £152.06 Silver

38 litre top Box £176.20 Black £160.10 Silver
Top Box adapter plate £24.06

45 Litre inner bag £22.45
37 litre inner bag £20.03

The quick releas racks are about £135 retail but still to be confirmed.

Be aware this is retail, the grup prices are less than that.

SW Motech always seem to hit the nail on the head.....wish those panniers had been around when I bought my 1200.......

The Varios are OK, but..................

 

[wayne]

Roger will they fit the old 650gs

Indeed they will Wayne, they already have a rack for the "previous" 650 GS which retails at £138.75.

Can get the racks immediately for the 650 but you would have to wait until March for the panniers.

The Motech ones look great but I wonder if they will they survive an off in the dirt as well as the Varios? Any cost saving can soon become moot if the cases are buggered too easily.

Yeah, and you should see the size of my crystal balls!

Aparently they're made of 2mm aluminium alloy, so I'd imagine that they'll take a bit of a beating.

Does the left hand pannier have a cut away for the exhaust on the GS. SW Motech photo makes it look a bit lop sided.

No both mount flat to the rails.

Thy offer 2 different sizes to equalize the distance to the edge of each pannier, of course if you want to go for maximum capacity you can do so and to hell with how they look

 

[TERRY RYAN]

must say I like the look of them very much would like to see them in flesh

whats this all about group price

Is that pannel dstortion where they are riveted? They look like cheep versions of the 1200adv panniers.

I'm sure they'll sell plenty.
