Re: Alu Panniers (the easy way!)
Unfortunately the framework was brought off internet for £105 (bloody exspensive but i thought i had better get proper ones as i dont know how to weld), the boxes are made of thin steel (I think), they are ammo boxes dated from 1965 and cost me £10 for the pair (bloody good deal as they are hard to come by), as for weight i couldnt give the exact amount, they feel quite light and the frame handles them with ease. It was a bugger trying to line them up on the frame, use a spirit level and drill holes all by myself (I have just screwed them on at the moment).
Lastly, NO i am not giving them away... lol |

Re: Alu Panniers (the easy way!)
I was looking at doing a similar job on my DR800, as the Hepco & Becker option ran to about £500 for it...
The boxes are easy to come by in the Netherlands, the problem with the ones I found was weigt. They were all quite heavy. Your success has inspired me Happy trails!
