BMW R850/1100/1150 GS Aluminium Panniers For Sale UK

As above. They are 66 litres each and come with a very robust mounting rack. I have had them for four years now and they are brilliant. On my seven month S. American trip I was able to fit everything in them, including camping gear, with room to spare. I came off the bike in gravel and sand many times and the panniers withstood all the impacts, one of which was substantial (see 'photo).

They need some TLC as the seal around the top openings has deteriorated over the years to the extent that, in heavy rain, or when the bike is at a serious angle on the sidestand, a little water gets in. There is a dent in the front bottom seam of the RH one from the impact mentioned above; this is visible in the top picture.. For anyone interested in their practical rather than cosmetic qualities, these are about as good as you can get.

Ideally, I would like UKĀ£450 for them but you may be lucky with a sensible offer.

Reason for sale: selling bike as I've switched to a Dommie (thanks Shells)!

Regards, Mick
