Soft pannier guards..
« on: January 14, 2013, 08:28:50 »
There's talk of these for the Glee on other forums but a search throws up nothing specific here.. It looks like a bloke trading on eBay from America makes them but I wondered if I can get hold of anything here without paying large postage costs or potential customs fees.. From the 2012s layout it does look like they're necessary for soft luggage.. I don't like the hard option, they stick out far too much and cost is prohibitive.. Any ideas?

Maybe drop an email to Cymarc? (See posts from them in the Merchandise section)  :thumb:

Had a reply, no joy.. :(

I suppose the cost of the US items still represent value for money..

http://www.pmracks.com/products.php?id=11 are only one option ...there's another USA company does the rack with plate and can take a tool tube .. On the non exhaust side ... Which I prefer  .. Will hunt the forum and find the website ...http://community-2.webtv.net/CHERDAN/MyVStromAccessories/found it ....

there's some great stuff on that second site for the V-Strom mate, pity there isn't anywhere over this side of the pond with some foresight to do the same accessories.    :bawl:

Although the converted backrest to hold your golf bag is a step too far.  :crazy:
