Has anyone successfully fitted non-BWM hard luggage to their XR?
I recently purchased Helpco & Becker Xplorer panniers (with Lock-it quick release system) but have been unsuccessful in fitting the left hand side pannier frame as it doesn't quite line up with the frame mounting points. I have received a second l/h frame to try. I have initially offered it up to the bike and the misalignment seems to be less but still out of tolerence (i'll get to try it properly at the weekend).
Has anyone else on here successfully fitted the H&B pannier frames to an XR?
I rather like the idea of the quick release "Lock-it" system. Should the H&B not fit and it has to go back (despite being told that they have sold 2 or 3 with no issue), then i might consider the SW Motech Trax ally luggage system. This also seems to be a quick-release design (Quick-Lock).
Further question is - has anyone on here successfully fitted the SW Motech Trax ally luggage system?
I'm looking for reassurance and/or inspiration!
Thank you for listening......
