Old BMW panniers famously suffered from Krauser Disease when they would suddenly fly open and eject contents all over the road. Which is why so many older Beemers have panniers wrapped in occy straps. I giggled when I noticed the Norge panniers have a clip obviously designed to make sure that can't happen.... Zebee

I had a bit of a chat, after they said they didn't have any panniers to suit my bike. The person suggested that for the right panniers in good nick, I'd probably be up for about $600. > The other places to try for BM stuff would be Munich Motorcycles in > Perth somewhere, Moto Hansa, can't remember where they are but did me a > good front wheel, and Discount Motorcycle Wreckerses in Coburg (Melbourne) > > Make sure you really want the panniers before spending big on them, I > didn't like the Airhead side-opening ones at all. Well, when I had the K100RS, I _loved_ the cop (sorry, city) panniers. I actually had the big tourer ones as well, but I think I only used them twice. As for spending up big, I contacted the pommie mob that Boxer suggested. Postage turned out to be about the equivalent of buying three panniers. :-| But three pommie panniers are still less than buying two panniers at full price in Oz. regards, CrazyCam
