No such thing as a 41-litre MM pannier.
MMs are 31-litre, 38-litre and 45-litre (i.e. 7 litre increments).

Wow
That must have been some hard impact to trash a Metal Mule. Take a medal. Linzi.

Dam it !! Yes its a 38L. I must have had the Zega size stuck in my head.
Yer, 70mph crash on dirt in Argentina (Very stupid I know) !!
It actually held together and with some tie straps it will stay on the bike. The 40mph crash on RTA40 smashed it up even further but it STILL stayed in one piece but so bent that the lid wont shut.
Tried straightening using many methods in Dakar Motos (bsas) and Metal Mule themsselves have had it for a while and they cant see a way to straighten it either so I think its just one for the trophy cabinet

Hi Ted
There are two here which you might have already seen. Having a spare might be tempting fate though ...................... 
Will you be at Hardraw  this weekend, it's only a hop for you?
Regards, Mick

Cheers Mick..
Ill keep an eye on those...
They will probably go for quite a good price though ! Fingers crossed that GS boys are too worried about their banks and shares
I'm actually thinking about making a replacelemt. Just copying my mule with maybe thinner alloy.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
