Homemade Budget Panniers
Hi everyone, I have a 1994 XT600e with a Hepko and Becker pannier rack installed. I have been looking into buying some aluminium panniers but have decided they are way too expensive. I have been considering cutting the tops off two jerry cans and mounting them to the bike or buying some old ammo crates etc..... Basically I'm not sure what to do other than not spend £500 (near enough value of bike) on a set of posh panniers then drop the bike and bugger them up. If anyone out there has fabricated their own panniers I would love to hear what you did and whether it worked or not.......
Cheers, Paul
