Hepco and Becker Metal Panniers
After asking around in another forum which metal panniers to go for for a trip to africa i was given 2 names. Metal Mule and Hepco and becker. After some researching a found loads on Metal Mules being great and all that but then found out for the XT660R the bike i plan to do africa on you need to fit there special single exhaust can (£350).
Deciding to stop looking at MM i looked more in the direction of HandB. I have heard a few good reviews but not as in the same masses as the MM panniers. At the moment i am looking at the expedition type and will probably go for the 38ltr size as this should be enough. The prices are cheaper than MM and a total of £460 some thing for a rack and 2 panniers is cheaper than the full on £1100 some thing of MM (thats plus the exhaust as well)
So anyone done any really hardcore off roading with these boxs on? or even got this box? What do you think of them, build qualtiy, attachments etc? Any info or picture please would be great
