New member question - Hello recently bought a 2008 transalp 650 which I am enjoying riding much more than the GS1100 I just got rid of (too heavy !)
Anyway, wonder if someone can help identify the pannier rack that my bike has fitted from the attached photo. The bike did not come with panniers and I would like to get some, but I have no idea which one's will fit. From googling images, I see that there are a few 650's fitted with these, but I can not find out what make they are and most importantly what panniers might fit them.
Anyone know ???

yep, they are genuine honda ones

they don't often come up for sale second hand

you may be better off getting these...

...and then buying any cheap Givi Monokey cases/boxes, as there are loads on ebay


eg

Thanks for that - So are there any panniers I can get that would fit them ? Had a quick trawl of ebay etc, but does not look like anything available now or in the past

- i don't think any other panniers will fit those frames you have, apart from genuine honda transalp 650 ones

 

[ds99]

these are the ones you want

Thanks for all of the responses

 

[ds99]

you might be able to buy other Honda panniers that fit from that era, eg VFR 750, CB500, Blackbird. But.... one of the transalp panniers has a "cut out" for the exhaust, so that might be tricky

i would go the givi route if you want hard luggage, or get some kind of soft panniers to attach to the existing frames while you wait for proper honda ones to appear on ebay

I had a set of Honda panniers on my early vara there are pics of the boxes here https://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/sale-...-honda-luggage-set-panniers-topbox-racks.html
they tuck in closer than the normal Kappa/givi ones. Mine are sold but it may assist you in determining if the boxes are the same between various models. I believe the Honda ones are actually made by Givi.

 

[ds99]

they would not work as they have a "cut out" on both panniers - ?

the accessories part lists for many hondas are on this site 2005 TA650 - https://www.bike-parts-honda.com/honda-motorcycle/650-MOTO/TRANSALP/2005/XL650V5/Accessories/3/12360
may be possible to trawl through other models for similar boxes, though different colours will probably have different part numbers

 

[ds99]

don't forget some parts share the same number. eg the TA 650 low seat has the same part number as the standard seat
