Howdy all,
I was looking at some Alpos aluminium cases for my R100GS recently. I'm aware that they are made from 1.2mm sheeting but how bad is this under real use ? Older opinions online are very mixed: some say they are pretty useless, others have zero issues with them as the seams seem to pretty resillient. Anybody using them ? I think they work out around €202 for the pair. If you have used them, I'd love to hear your experience of these.
Hepco & Becker Aluminium Standard look decent but then, they are over twice the price. Their range of plastic Junior Enduro (30L/40R) panniers don't look bad either but that 40 litre right side pannier seems to stick way out !
Bob's BMW in the US still sell the BMW Touring cases brand new. Nice but the pricing, including shipping, might be eye watering !
Cheers,
Mark.
