Everything you need to plan and complete the journey of a lifetime.

This is the rough start of a page on building your own panniers.

Some travellers have promised pictures of the panniers they have built.

Here's the first:

Protection bars for stock BMW panniers

"I bought a new BMW R1200GS in Anchorage, and didn't want (nor could really afford) a set of Jesse's. I heard horror stories about breaking the standard BMW panniers later, and as I am on the road to Argentina figured I should stop somewhere and relieve myself of the worry.

Here's what I came up with, I made them in a muffler shop in Oaxaca. I can email more photos or explanations if required. Email address and other photos are on my website www.oneworld-twowheels.com."

Alex Pezzi, UK / Italy, has built a set of panniers and done a great job of documenting the build.

more to come - send in YOUR home-made pannier pics - and don't forget the rack and some specs - material etc.
