Givi do a set called Trekker which come in 2 different sizes, they might well do the job.

How long is the trip for? if it's only a few days then you can fit a lot with just a large tail pack, tank bag and a dry bag strapped to the rear for tent, mat, sleeping bag etc.

Its open...I'm off for 7 weeks over summer....

Think I'm going to go down the DIY route.

Using the above cases it seems the way to go. Literally hundreds of threads on the Bike forums about this.

They look cool...don't cost the earth..crush proof, waterproof, and light...I just have to work out the mounting etc...

Looking at some kind of bracket using the the Two seat bolts either side of the seat...Clearance of the exhaust shouldn't be an issue as I have a powertech.

The rear pegs look like they are mounted to the frame so you could use these as the 3rd point to stop the cases swinging from side to side.

Those Peli case panniers are pretty cool, though not sure about them on the Bonnie!

easyrider · 27 May 2012 at 13:27

Thinking about something like this

Obviously though gloss black smooth tubing to match the bike!

Wouldn't that pannier be pretty small?

Forgive the crutity of the design...The pannier is not to scale

My vision has finally been materialised. My 100% waterproof hard luggage system for my Van Van

Along with Ortlieb Rack Bag incoming I should have a system in place for some serious travelling on my Bike,
Notice the dogs wanting in on the pics

After picking it up from the powder coaters It looks surprisingly stock and I'm chuffed to bits with the end result.

Looks good!

I like them, very good job. Like you say you could tell someone they're stock and they woulnd't know any difference.

That'll be fast when it's fully loaded

. Seriously though, Nice job.

In the middle of the lakes...set off last Tuesday...panniers are a godsend
