Worldbeater Panniers- Your Pictures Wanted

[Dom]

Many thanks for your consideration.
I would of course have paid for the luggage set but unfortunately circumstances dictate that this is sadly not an option.
Your luggage on my bike
I would even let you fit them for me, or am I being too generous

 

[Dom]

I am free this Sunday if that is any good? Am also free to display them at the Ace Cafe Overland day in February if required to do so

Can't remember whose bike this was, but this was on an early Steptoe dash (2005 maybe?) Pic at Matmata, about 40 miles east of Fes.

Me with the loaners on (yes Vern, I know) near Ouazazarte

And at Tafraoute

Somewhere in Kent

Resting at the top of a mountain

Charlie Batty on Exmoor....you can photoshop out the top box

Your as-yet un advertised yet very cunning dual purpose rail

s that double as frames for when a subframe completely snaps in half in the Sahara

Munchen

Dades gorge

Demnates

Horsea Island Causeway Essex

Stonehenge (yes, it's tiny isn't it!)

I am taking your kind offer under careful consideration

Feck me Vern, you are going soft in your dotage

 

[Sgt Bilco]

They do make a useful jack when removing a rear wheel

Soooooo tempting, and the free fitting offer almost swayed me, but have decided to tell you to go fcuk yerself

However, you might consider hiring a set and taking some piccies

Court,ball,you

Told ya, it was only a matter of time

 

[MattW]

Told ya, it was only a matter of time

I was getting worried for a minute

[Dom]

Was that a no then?

Hi Dom, perhaps if you told Vern you are fitting them to the hog, he may be more receptive.....potential huge market in the US, I'd even take a few photos.

If Carlsberg made panniers................

Hinges on the side? I love the idea!

 

[Vern]

I think you'll find that's the top box

 

[Timolgra]

I think you'll find that's the top box

The top boxes are brilliant mate

It took 12 years of GS'ing for Vern to grindi me down to have a set of Worldbeater Panniers, I've travelled with several other makes and been witness to the failings of many brands of panniers......and now have to admit Vern's are simply THE Best and not as expensive as many others.......should've bought them in the first place

...AND I wasn't paid to say that

Other uses too

Ok, not normal use but cooking breakfast on one of the lids didn't even mark the hard anodising

AND you get an invite to the exclusive pannier party

 

[Banjaxed]

Narrow set, low lids

Given that Vern the magician can make just about anything out of metal, here's a set of narrow Worldbeaters, with low lids. Width is the same as the cylinders, so extreme filtering is the order of the day...

If I can find any better pics, I'll post them up here...

Oh, and they are originals with mild steel brackets!

 

[Kenny]

Only top box worth having on an airhead

 

[Canuck]

I thought those high front fenders make the bike fall over? I guess the top box keeps it all balanced!
