BMW R80/7 Pelican Case Pannier Setup

[@onanysundrymule3144]

That is all coming together as a banging classic tourer and is looking rather delish Sir.

[@ivofer8349]

Awesome simplicity that works

[@BigPezza]

And cheap as I had all the parts last over from another build 😅

[@frankboff8185]

Good job, really looks the part now.

[@dondle2]

Great work bud, looks the part.

[@markfortin8286]

Those look fairly close to the BMW branded hard panniers I've seen on the older BMWs around here.

[@BigPezza]

yeah the BMW panniers can be quite expensive this is the cheaper option

[@HippoDrones]

They look great on it mate 🙂

[@BigPezza]

Thanks 👍

[@HalfManHalfPirate]

Hiya Pezza, I've been following this build, nice job 👍 That disc will outlast the bike now lol maybe see it at the BOS!

[@BigPezza]

I should be able to get there

[@martynrowse5638]

your chrome pannier mount frames are missing 2 x large rubber grommets in the rear top corner this keeps the boxes firm as the clasp pulls the box on to the grommet.

[@BigPezza]

Probably but that's why they where cheap

[@trevorphillips3055]

How about turning the bolts around so that the heads are inside the panniers? As it is, the contents will snag on the bolts.

[@BigPezza]

Maybe it's hard to see in the video but all the bolts are covered with rubber tops comes with the kit

When is the first big tour on this beast, and where

[@BigPezza]

🤫

[@LoneWallyUK]

You just need a small rack where the pillion seat would be. Would look better than the twin seat

[@BigPezza]

There is a small topbox that is ment to go there from when it was used in the police but I guess I will have to search high and low for one

[@theodorstravels]

Needs a little machine gun ammo belt decoration or something, otherwise the boxes look too modern 😛

[@craigyllyn]

Really enjoying this series. Those panniers suit it well and much much cheaper than oem. Have you played with the shaft drive yet? My old R100RS would lift the rear of the bike if you added throttle mid turn. Later paralever dialled that out😢

[@BigPezza]

Well all bikes raise the back of the bike when acceleration is applied 🤔 or maybe yours was doing too much? Feels ok on mine

[@craigyllyn]

@@BigPezza I’ve ridden 4 or 5 airheads and they have a strong shaft reaction. The later ones are positively boring by comparison 😂
