Panniers for Bandit 1250

First topic message reminder :

Does anyone have panniers fitted to their Bandit 1250? Do you have to re-locate the indicators? Anyone got pics?

You went on an 8,500 k camping trip with no toiletries, no towel, no loo paper, no change of clothes...

Hmmm... glad I wasn't sleeping on your tent!

i have the old gearsack panniers from waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy back
they clip under the seat nicely
i think grumpy has them too
on top i have the ventura soft bag and a double tank bag
does me fine but the missus has to learn to pack lightly lol

All that is in the Ventura bag .Round bag contains swag ,s\bag,tarp .

Mine came with a full set of Givis and they are great, big enough to smuggle illegal immigrants in, totally waterproof, very secure.

The pannier setup that came with the K8 required moving the indicators and a very agricultural look ensured. I sold mine for $1000 still boxed and use 1 of 2 seat bags when touring. A much better full time set up
