Urgent Help - Touratech Supplier In London

Please help

I bought a few years ago from a London bike shop - a set of Touratech panniers...

I think they were the main dealer for them but I'm not sure... I ordered over the phone and they delivered them to me....

I'm pretty sure it wasn't overland-solutions... can anyone please tell me who it might have been? Do they have a web site now.... I seem to remember they stamped the back of my catalogue when they sent it out...

Much appreciated....

Tony.

Tony,

You started your post with "Urgent Help". I'm not sure exactly what urgent help you need, but I live about one hour away from the Touratech HQ. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

visiting the uk....

Hiya

Thanks for the responses - I'm only visiting the uk for about another 3 weeks and heading down to london for a night this weekend so was hoping to get over to the shop - which must have been Bracken, the name sounds right - whilst I was down in London...

I really need to get my hands on a fixing kit to mount 2 pelicases and a rack for for my F650 Funduro.... but I want to be able to lock the cases on and remove them without opening them... tall order I know... so was hoping to get some hands on look at some solutions in a shop before I buy....

Also looking for a couple of GPS mounts....

Thanks folks.

Tony.

Pelicases

Check out (303) 786-8947 - World's Toughest Motorcycle Luggage Systems
they do a mounting rack for pelicases and they can be removed whilst closed. They are based in the states but i believe delivery is pretty quick.
