Post a pic of your V11 - No words

Ok, thanks for the info.

I haven't got the carrier yet (coming soon...) but I do already have a set of similar panniers.

When I get the carrier and get them mounted, I'll post a photo of mine. Could take a few weeks....

Art, thanks for the link.

That does indeed look very similar to what I am intending to buy. That is this:

https://www.hepco-becker.de/kompletttraegerset-seitenkoffertraeger-und-rohrgepaeckbruecke-topcasetraeger-schwarz-fuer-moto-guzzi-le-mans-v-11-sport-naked-1999.html

And it is considerably cheaper than that. :)

 

However, since I live in Germany, I am a little hesitant to buy something from the U.S. that would no doubt attract some sort of import duty, and "probably" would fit. Hepco Becker is a German company, and I already have a rack from them for the V35 Imola and one for the GTR 1000 Kawasaki, and a top box and a pair of panniers from Hepco and Becker to put on the racks.

Unless someone can assure me with 100% certainty that Tusk is something like "re-badged" Hepco and Becker, and that the rack in the ad will definitely fit, I'd prefer to stick with the brand I already have. B)

I've got the same rack on my Greenie.  The HB JR bags alternate between the Sport and the EV whenever needed.

I don't know about the reference to Tusk, but the photos clearly show a Hepco & Becker sticker on that rack... :huh2:

For less than a quarter of the price from new - providing it's still available from H&B - if that's what I was after, I'd be all over it like a monkey on a banana tree...

It wasn't that clear to me. I could have sworn that the sticker on the rack on the GTR doesn't have that much silver on it. But I've had a closer look and done some clicking around in the interweb, and I think you are right. :huh2:

It looks like I should probably get on to that...

I'm convinced it is still available from HB. See my link further up. It's on the web site, and SD have it listed as well. SD claims between 2 and 8 weeks delivery time, HB says "exact delivery time on request", so I reckon they only build it when the order comes in.

Yes, it is less than a quarter of the new price. Hmmm....

Funny thing:

HB lists €430,- and SD €369,-

dunno how they do it, but SD seems to always be cheaper for HB products than HB themselves. :huh2:

A poignant contrast of V11 in their natural January/February habitat:

I have to walk past the motorcycles to get to the snow shovels and firewood. 6 degrees F this morning when I left for work. This habitat sucks right now!
