Honda ones are okay if there cheap but yo have to learn the art of opening them without everything falling out, best to keep your smalls in a black bag
to save embarisment.
That is OK you can open them with a KFS set.
some practice'ers of the dark art of spoon and fork'ery can..................
if you ring around you might find some honda dealers may have recently replaced some crash damaged panniers on an insurance job, usually the lids are scuffed but the important bit, the black plastic with the fittings, is ok. cover the lids with fibreglass and paint them and youve got a pair of panniers for peanuts. if youre not too fussy.
Thanks guys for all the info, i will keep checking fleabay for some honda ones, i have a honda top box and my hubby can carry anything i cant fit it that for our Spanish trip in May

Pity you're not nearer to Thattherefancylondon, else you could take mine. They're scatched to buggery but sound in every way and I barely use them. I'd not mind them going for a spin round Spain. I doubt the offer's any use, but let me know if you want to pick them up on the way past.![]()

where are the panniers then? youve got the racks, they come as a set?
Sometimes the bikes are traded in or sold on and people don't know how to remove them. The honda ones are a bit tricky because you have to replace a few nuts and bolts when you fit them/remove them so can look a bit daunting when it comes to fitting and removing at the moving on stage of the bike. I suppose it's just like buying a bike with the quick release plate for the top box fitted to the rear rack when the bike has no top box, as thay come as a matching pair it would make sense to remove both or neither.
