DIY Plywood Motorcycle Panniers and Topbox

[@christopherthiessen9040]

Man ! Those panniers and top box look amazing !! You did a great job , you can’t even tell they are plywood. You are an inspiration sir!

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you

[@jamespolucha8790]

I made a pair of saddle bags about 20 years ago out of wood but just used it for a mold then fiberglass over it and took the wood off then just kept building up the fiberglass until I thought it was strong enough and they turned out great might try it again, yours look great

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Great. Fiberglass is not my skill and messy i guess. So i chose easier option. Mine turned out heavy and a bit larger. I use them as tool storage boxes now.

[@RajKumar-cr9pu]

Dr. Jagat you executed everything in a very smart and impressive way. Panniers look very beautiful and sturdy too.

[@hisstmahesh]

I went in flashback of mine 80's day's. Great Sir simply superb.

Quedó genial, super pro ! Haré una similar para mi Himalayan , Saludos desde Chile

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Gracias brother. Mine turned out a little bigger and heavier than i wanted. If you making then make it smaller and lighter with thinner ply. Best of luck

Nice idea brother but how you attach panniers to sadle stay. on nut or lock system

[@DrJagatVlogs]

I have made a frame and attached it with drilled holes and nut bolts with washers.

[@mabuhayka]

Great good. Nice idea.

Great job mate, congratulations

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thanks mate

[@makson8472]

Very good idea

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you

[@bikernickmctouring]

Great effort, they look fab! Maybe thinner ply and aluminium "L" along edges may make the load lighter and give the strength required...

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Yes exactly

[@going.upstream]

Great Job, I just love the Paint job. But yup, weight is the issue. I have a 150cc. I would go into fabricating with fibre glass instead of plywood, or I could infact construct the basic structure with mdf, then reinforce with sheets of fibre glass. Great, thanks for this video this has given me loads of ideas.

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you. Yes MDF or thinner plywood. Doubtful about the fit and finish with fiberglass. Let me know.

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Don't forget to clear laquer after chrome spray if you are going for similar paint job

[@nithyagayathri6188]

i like the idea bro. good job.

[@renediaz4164]

Nice work DONE. l love it. Greetings all the way from Belize 🇧🇿. A question here, is there panniers holding frame for 150cc bikes?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you. I have got this frame fabricated out of steel pipes. I think you can get it done locally but you need to make the boxes lighter by using thinner plywood and dimensions smaller for 150cc. All the best

[@camellabulacan-cyrusbaluyo6491]

bro you really did a very good job! you inspire my inner craftsman ! just want to know if you still using this ?how durable it is ?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you. Very durable. I am not using them regularly as I have sadlebags and smaller top box. I am using them for storing tools and riding accessories. If you are building one I suggest you go for thinner plywood any similar material to keep weight lower.

[@jimmylincoln4082]

Great job , the perfect video for me 🙏

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you. Use thinner plywood to reduce weight

[@gb9538]

[@travellerthekaustubhjain6025]

good job how much it cost

[@DrJagatVlogs]

8- 10k rs maybe

[@sah7920]

I have few technical questions here 1. How much is the weight of each box ? How has it affected bike handling so far? 2. Can we go with lesser thickness of plywood ? If so, what do you think would be the least safest thickness ? 3. Have you considered using WPVC instead ? Great Rig BTW

[@DrJagatVlogs]

I have not weighed the boxes but it definitely turned out to be heavier than I expected. The rear side feels heavier while riding. Lighter plywood would definitely be good option. Also Alluminium Composite sheet would fit the bill best as it's light, waterproof and rust proof. Also ACP sheets available in all desired colours so no hassle of painting

[@Brough1111]

I'm building a light frame 1/2 inch sticks attaching 4 mm okume marine with joints sanded rounded then a layer of glass over joints urethane then paint

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Sounds good

Weight around 45 kg. Mera hisab se size bhi thoda jyada hua. If you are planning use thinner ply or some other material and make them smaller too

Thank you. It's heavy. Use thinner plywood

[@l6j8b32]

Great job

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you

[@coffeebrew4924]

nice

[@VaivDsmarty]

What about the waterproofing?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Waterproofing is good as the plywood is waterproof and the paint surface. Haven't used in heavy rains but I think it's fine

[@VaivDsmarty]

They are heavier than alluminium panniers?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

@@VaivDsmarty 3 times heavier approx. But 1/4th the cost. But if made with 6mm waterproof plywood with 1 inch wood border weight will come down. Also I misjudged the size of side panniers. They are broader than required.

[@DrJagatVlogs]

I think another option would be ACP Composite sheet with alluminium L brackets screwed for borders with silicon for waterproofing would be great. Light weight and much neater looking. Would look good in all matt black. You can also put plastic corners available online

[@VaivDsmarty]

Size is broder. But i was saying broder size is better as it can hold more items

[@tamilgym7138]

How much rupees And weight?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

It cost me around 8000 rupees. Weight must be 12 kg each. Can use thinner plywood to reduce weight

[@MohsinAli-ro5vw]

How did you put the lock?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

A suitable one was available in hardware stores.

[@mohmans4751]

Now your bike with those heavy boxes has reached it's maximum Laden weight lol

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Yes. Next time will do lighter

[@macks-thestoryteller5931]

will it be waterproof or water-resistant? how much did it cost you?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

The plywood is waterproof one. With the paint it can take fair bit of water splash. Cost me around 8000 Rupees. I would suggest you go for thinner plywood than this to reduce weight

[@NaqviNews]

Wah G Wah

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Thank you..

[@Panalo_TV]

how do you put the lock ?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Hook type lock was available in hardware stores

[@MathieuTechMoto]

nice work, how much does it weight ?

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Weight is the only downside of this. 8 to 10kgs per box. There are ways to work around this problem mainly using a thinner plywood

I dont understand. Please translate in English

[@hark7771]

How long you tested after building it, and is the any vibration issues and have u tried in rain is it water proof? Please give ur feedback

[@DrJagatVlogs]

Its waterproof plywood but I would not suggest using it in rainy season. No vibrations as the fit is perfect. You can also use rubber beading or silicon for the lid. Weight is on the higher side. Can solve that by using thinner plywood. Would be cheaper too

Yes. Turned out heavy and a tad bigger than required. Thinner plywood or a different material like composite aluminum panels would be better
