Question Panniers for KLE500 ???
Has anyone with a KLE500 fitted it with panniers (the hard plastic type)yet ?
Seems that the big players like Givi dont make a specific fitting kit for the KLE yet.
If anyone has done this, I'd love to know.
Howie

I'm using cheap throwovers. I'm interested to know how you get on though.

Nobody loves the KLE :-(
There seems to be a giant not-interested shrug coming from the accessory world for KLEs - very few after market suppliers exist.
Staintune hasn't got a pipe for it, and can't find a kit for panniers.
I've made the best of what exists and will fit a 45 litre Givi topbox, and see how it goes.

Hepco&Becker for Kawasaki KLE
Hi there folks! Maybe you want to visit this site - sorry it's all in German but I guess halfway-easy to navigate:

http://www.mml-motorradzubehoer.de/M...shop-2006-022/

I ordered a set of JuniorII H&B sidecases plus the carrying system there and it ran me something like 500 Euros including the shipping to Japan. Can't beat that price and I would have paid at least the double amount over here in the Far East!

I also understand that H&B Junior cases are pretty good quality, water tight, and with the frame there shouldn't be any major problems. As soon as I get them mounted I will put pics on my homepage. For more info etc get wth me (regular e-mail) or visit my HP.

Safe riding and hope I am not too late with my post!

Klaus

May or may not help
The sites below may or may not be of any help. Figured I'd pass them on though.
