Aluminium side cases
Someone wrote in some forum, that teneres aluminium side cases looks crap in real, but not in pictures. Is that true, maybe I wait to order the side cases in till I see them live.

I think most will go for a different after market set of alu panniers, not cause the yamaha ones are not good just most if spending money on panniers probably want something different and speical.

I think the Yamaha ones look pretty good, I asked the Yamaha guy to open them for me and they seemed better made than the Touratech ones, not seen any metal mules so I cannot comment on those but from checking the website they are making some to fit the new Tenere, with prices ranging from �749 upto �841 including frame and fitting kit. see the link below.

How much where they? �74............. beep yep he's away again. They are just taking the piss, to get them on your XTR you have to pay �350 for an exhaust system then buy panniers and frames which total over �1000. I dont think they will sell too many at that price for the tenere either. If Yamaha's own ones are anything around �500 they will sell better. I still cant get over that price.

SW Motech
Ive come across these panniers from SW Motech on the web, i havent seen them in the "flesh" as such. A choice of finishes and they dont seem to be very expensive. Regards mounting the boxes, i personally would go with a Hepco and Becker pannier rails and the Touratech mounting kit
On the site it says 16 week waiting time. http://www.mo-tech.de/trax/?PHPSESSI...5af124027eeb87 and http://www.mo-tech.de/sonstige_dokumente/trax.pdf If you fancy making your own panniers, i found this link as well. http://rtw.xtz660.googlepages.com/alluboxes Cheers Ian |

I've got a set of Off-The-Road panniers and pannier frames on my Tenere and I'm happy with them. The panniers aren't as strong as Metal Mule's but strong enough and much cheaper. The frames seem to be as good as MM's and with them the panniers come closer to the rider than with MMs. Don't know about the original Yamaha panniers but I've seen SW Motech's Trax panniers and didn't really like the quality. I noticed that you live in Finland too so feel free to send me a PM and come and see the panniers if you wish. I live in Parikkala and so does my friend who also has a Tenere and he has Metal Mule panniers on it. Jami |

hi,
On the Zarges cases i can, after 80000km, honestly say that they are great, as long as you don't hit the ground with it... I landed the side of a case on a rock with 5km/h and there was crack in it. The sheetalu is just to thin. The frames OTR makes are undestructable though, so i would go for an OTR frame and H&B ot TT cases. Or better, an OTR frame and Really strong cases from Bernd Tesch. regards, |

I have Sw-Motech cases, the frame looks even stronger than the TT one. And its also easy to dissasemble. The cases themselves also look quite solid, havent tested them at crashing. They arent as big as the TT ones, but i have enough room. I also had the Zega's on my BMW, very nice but also very hard to put on/take off once they are packed.
