Title: New bike
Post by: Simes on December 28, 2025, 19:42:06
Hi all

Previous member and owner of a 2012 Suzuki DL650 which I sold a couple of years ago.
I now have a 2018 Suzuki DL1000 v-strom and can't wait to toure Europe on it next year.
I would like to purchase a used set of pannier frames if anyone has any for sale.

Welcome back to Stromming, Simes.
If you can't find anything used, take a look at the Shad pannier system, especially the unobtrusive 3P frames. They're very good value.

I just got a 1050 before Christmas for Europe next year, getting her ready and really enjoying the new to me bike, mine came with SW Motech panniers, so far I have fitted a little 42 litre Chinese top box which is fine for everyday use and I may just stick with it for the Summer, Givi air flow screen should be here soon to cure the wind blast I'm getting, also lowering the foot pegs.
