My homemade pannier project for my motorcycle 

Nice wish I could do it 😮

Thank you!

Nice to hear that! :)

It is hard work and there is many steps that could go wrong. I think i got a bit lucky when everything worked out so well. :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! :)

Thank you!

@@kayttajanimi i made my panniers copied your project and obtained good results, my bike dropped off but the panniers were intact

@@lucianopodesta6613 That is great to hear! I wish you happy kilometers with your new panniers.

@@kayttajanimi thanks

Thank you!

Oh yeah,i used gelcoat in "boat wreck" fix when i was a kid. I am still using that boat. Former owner has busted keel of that boat pretty bad.

Thank you! Actually i don´t even know the thickness of that material. As i said,i went to boat builders workshop and i asked him some sort of heavy duty fiberglass and he had solution for my problem. I have seen those in some random hardware stores,but they were much lighter made. I think it would not hurt anyone to use little bit lighter version,gotta be easier to bent to corners. And it is really thirsty material,have to use a lot of resin.

+Chris Fisher It didn´t stick on it. :) I didn´t use any wax/greese on these molds.

+kayttajanimi Nice job! How much in Euros did the boxes and rack cost in total?

I hope so! Have fun with the project. :)

Just never crash or they'll probably crunch and not absorb

@@shaegrover9516 in all fairness I can't see my old fiberglass ones being any better in a crash

Really well, i don't have that tenere anymore, now i have streetbike with small panniers. But those had a lot of space, they are heavy duty compared for this bmw street bike panniers. I never had a leakage or anything. Still have them - just not a suitable bike at the moment. :D

Hi, i actually found really good top box - for so good price that i had to get that. :D

Thank you! I will have to take some pictures or even a video of that attachment system i made up. There is a strap around panniers because it was my first trip with them. There was a heavy load in them and i thought that extra strap would not harm anyone. I drove in pretty nasty roads or should i say trails. :) But after all,straps weren't needed,panniers stayed on the place with no problem. That pipe,i used,is 20mm with wall diameter of 2mm. I think it is some kind of hydraulic pipe for industrial purposes and machines.

kayttajanimi Great job! I'm also curious to see the attachment system. And I wonder how much strong they are compared to aluminium ones, but I don't think you're gonna drop your bike to show us... :-D

Hi,Thank you! Yeah,you are right,i will not drop my bike for a test. But basicly,when you drop the bike with alloy panniers you can hammer it back straight,not too many times but couple times... But how well will the lid fit back on,it´s a different thing. I made these panniers fairly thick,so i would say it could survive of dropping. And because of shape of these,insted of basic cubic shape,it should handle that stress caused by dropping fairly well. And if something cracks on these,it is repairable with glassfiber resin,or if needed i can add more layers of fibreglass. I will make a little video of attachment system i made earlier. I haven´t seen similar system earlier,it is simple,safe and strong. :)

Rack and attachment system. related to My homemade pannier project for my motorcycle Here is video about rack!

little bit bought,i hope this video helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z5T4WG4dakY.html
