Wunderlich Panniers Any good?

[martin ness]

I'm looking for a set of aluminium Panniers and possibly top box. I've had stuff from Wunderlich before on the Xr and seems good quality and had seen their panniers.
But i cant find any information or reviews about them online. Has anyone got them / used them heard anything about them?

Thanks
Martin

If I was in the market for some I would buy Touratech..

Then when they fail, replace them with Metal Mules...

If you stare at Touratech panniers too long, they dent. They're even less tough than the OEM ones. Mules on the other hand are made of kryptonite...

Bumot

Job done.

Bumot can get them for Bumot racks or they make them for the OEM GSA racks.

I decided to try a set of Wunderlich 'Extreme' panniers in black powdercoat after years of using BMW corrodable jobbies . Very pleased with them , good top rubberseals , internal cargo nets etc . They fit the std BMW pannier rails if you have them or their own are a bit cheaper than the BMW ones . Ordered mine direct from Germany , delivery about 3/4 days and carriage cost inc. top box & brackets was under £5 ! If its not pissing with rain tomorrow I'll take some pics. and post them up here .

Cheers that would be good. They look good for the price. I like the fact the lid nets are included.uve a 17 plate GSA so think fit direct to the oem brackets?

Fookin ugly square boxes Just my opinion though ..

Have you looked at the Givi Dolomiti panniers ? I had some on my Versys and they were OK.

All depends on what you want them for and what you need them to do.

If it’s for road riding, pick the ones that you like the look of the most. If it’s for a big trip where the odds are the bike will get dropped, choose more carefully.

Doc’s right, Metal Mules are big ugly boxes but if you drop a bike with them fitted, the road’s more likely to get damaged than the pannier...

Pics of Wunderlich 'Extreme' panniers as promised . I'm well pleased with them .

Thank you for posting. Look good. How much wider than the handlebars are they?

 

[Powerful Pierre]

1000 mm wide , hand guards are 1020 wide so if the handlebars go through so will the panniers .

try and keep hold of this bike for a bit longer than the last one eh

 

[martin ness]

Thanks. Have you got the topbox too? Or is that a mount for something else?

It's already been stolen once and recovered via tracker & police !! Came back from Vines minus the toolkit & torch from the Sergent seat . They don't give a shit ! Way to loose a customer .

 

[Powerful Pierre]

Yes its the topbox mount . Bit of a hefty beast is that bracket and the associated iron work . I'll fit it on & post some pics tomorrow if I get the time .

 

[Powerful Pierre]

Pics of top box fitted as promised . The box sits about 2" higher than the BMW topbox . As I will use it infrequently its not a problem but if it bugs me too much it shouldn't be a problem to mod. the Wunderlich ironmongery to make it fit on the BMW handrails .

 

[martin ness]

Cheers thanks. So fine 1 up but possibly a pest 2 up?

 

[Powerful Pierre]

I only ride 1 up so no problem but I can't see why it would be any different with any other pannier & top box system .
