Good value Aluminium Panniers - Recomendation
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to recommend some very good value aluminum panniers by Motorradalukoffer.de (site in english here: Welcome to aluminium-panniers.co.uk).
I purchased a set for €230 last year and they've served very well on trips around Europe - I'm now taking them on a South America Trip. They're probably not as durable as touratech, but they're so much cheaper.
Also I lost some parts for the rack I purchased with the panniers - they shipped me spares for free!
Anyway, just wanted to share for those of us on a budget.
Cheers,
Joe

Just to add my experiance with this company, I bought a set of there premium panniers for my GS last year on the way to the German Hubb meeting.
They were more than helpfull and posted the panniers and rack fitting onto my home address , they arrived in just a few days .
Easy to fit and after completing my Round the world trip this year they are still good and servicable and the bike and the panniers will be at the German Hubb meeting this year ( this weekend ) .. Good company and good service .

Well....I have to say that this boxes are very expensive. This are Alpos panniers dressed in leather. You can buy it here (Slovenia) for 50 or 60 eu/box
Alpos - Serija C (motoristični zaboji)
I have them and they work pretty well.
best regards
Uros

Funny, the english version of the alpos website does not contain information about motorcycle panniers, only the slovenian version.
@Iced Do you know if the company will sell just two panniers? Do you know a slovenian company that will?
