Metal Panniers - Santiago, Chile.
 

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a couple of the above knocked up for my KLX 650 here in Santiago. A good wealder prehaps? Im told that people in the states somtimes make them from old 50 cal amunition cases for next to nothing Any similar ideas - and where I can impliment them - would be much appreciated...

We bumped into a Kiwi guy about a week ago who was heading North. He had done just what you want about a week before that. He'd got a nice set of steel panniers and rack made up in Santiago all for about 50 USD!:eek3:

I'll drop him a mail and see if we can get the address / contact details...

Thats exactly the kind of thing Im after for the right price!
Thanks v much, I'd be eternally grateful If you could find out where he got them!

Or you could ask the Santiago Community
