KTM Adventure Panniers
Does anyone have any suggestions, cautions, or other information they would like to share on panniers for the KTM Adventure?
I have a 2000 KTM Adventure R.
Choices of systems that I can find:
The Touratech Zega system from KTM dealer - $800 or so with no coating so you need to use liners
Happy Trails - under $800 with canyon cut and powder coating + shipping
Jesse - over $1000 with nice canyon cut and coating
Motosport - around $850 with coating
My analysis so far:
Touratech - too wide and no coating. It would take a lot to convice me to get these
Happy Trails - good size and canyon cut and coating and price. Remember seeing someone say they are happy with them on the net, but had somebody else tell me in person that they are utter junk and to get the Motosport panniers (this from a guy that was running Jesse panniers)
Jesse - Expensive but I like their build and size. Not available now though and will not be until winter according to Jesse.
Motosport - too small but quality does look good to me
Please let me know what you think.
