Title: Left-hand Pannier ST1300
Post by: Williamson on September 29, 2018, 06:05:57 PM
Damn!  Hell!!  Poop!!!

When I found out, I said stronger and louder words than above.

Must not have secured the LH Pannier properly before a short ride this morning, noticed at Kinglake it was missing, re-traced my ride, looking carefully, nothing found.  Returned home and re-traced my steps, this time in the car, still no luck.  Reported to a couple of local Police Stations - not sure if that will yield any success.

So, before I scan Gumtree and eBay any further, if anyone out there in OzSTOC land has one they don't need, I pay reasonable costs to buy, plus postage & handling.

They wouldn't be the words I'd have used either.  Hope you get it back.

Not Happy either.. feel your pain. People will be pointing at you in the street saying he's pannierless. Then saying that's obscene.  :eek :wht11

Well, I ain't got mine back, not yet anyways.   If and / or when I do, I'm suspecting it won't be too pretty either, so I need to look at my options.  A few items in the top box can be replaced if they're not spread out all over the road.

Did you pannier bust open, or did it stay closed?

The pannier stayed shut but a bit earlier Shiney found my top box keys in it unlocked and unlatched when i pulled up at a set of lights. Lack of sleep after shift work was fun. I stuffed up the group photo op leaving the mountain top cafe earlier that day too.

Scarlett Thunderbolt has a pair of red panniers (which we have chatted about), but a black and/or just a LH would be preferred.

Sadly, the pair I have are also red.

Getting plastic painted is no big deal at all.  Most motor body works can match the paint accurately, and also do any repairs needed to make the job perfect.

I've just got off the 'phone to Advantage Honda in Hoppers Crossing (where I purchase the currently No-so-Mighty-Honda-ST1300), after receiving a quote for a replacement pannier.

I'm glad I was seated for the response from the customer service lady, and I reveal the verbal quote, and confirm when the written quote (requested) is at hand.  In the meantime, and as it is Poll Day, let's have some fun.  You can all join in by providing your best guesstimate by ticking a box in the poll.   

You can call a Honda Dealer and find-out, but in the spirit of the game, guesses are required (rather than informed responses).

I need to be cheered-up as a call to my insurer indicates that my loss may not be covered (as it was negligent of me not to secure the pannier correctly).  But I assure you, it won't rest there.

Anyway, good luck!!

I'm guessing from a dealer, correctly colour coded at least a grand.

Check ebay.Sometimes you can get lucky.

Correctly colour coded (nice lady asked for my VIN to be sure).

I should've mentioned that the poll voting buttons are at the top of the page 1 of this thread.

WOT??  Only 13 votes.

I have now received the written quote, it's only increased by ~20%.    I've added another option, it might help.

13 votes is pretty good round these parts.
I will stick to the original vote and the comment that followed it.

My guess is somewhere between 1500 and 1999

So worse case scenario you just go and buy a ST1100 for the price of a factory supplied colour and key coded pannier....

That revelation can be revealed to the finance minister after purchase. Best start acting classes now to make it seem convincing  ;-*

If I'm gunna get into the shyte, it might as well be deep, so perhaps I should make room in the garage for another ST13.

Crocman has a left-hand side pannier that I believe he wants to sell...
I've sent him a message so he should jump on the forum when he gets home from work :thumbs

Feeling your pain mike.
Real easy to do too,been there done that. About 4 years back Val & I decibded to take a week on our Kiwi bike whilst  in transit in NZ enroute to the USA for  3months ST touring. Left Napier after having to  jump start her, had accidentally left the heated grips on o/nite, Rode c5kms to gas up before heading north to Taupo, pannier missing so immediately retraced our route twice, nothing to be found,reported  it to the police then left town. Had arranged travel insurance etc etc but it didn’t kick in until we got to the States.a couple of days later!!
All Val’s stuff including her brand new named Ozsto shirt, bathers, layers, underwear, everything. Not happy Jan!! Replaced it all along the way,
The new  pannier was claimed on NZbike insurance because it was deemed an  integral part of the bike but they wouldn’t meet the pannier lock being paired to the bike or get paint to accurately match, deemed it was red enough!!!
Anyway, my guess new would be A$1600 paired and matching colour, only good thing is yours is black, that has to be easy to match.
Keep punching, nobody was injured but still a bummer!!
Cheers

Wanna bet?  I thought it would be a simple matter to match white paint.  Do you know how many shades of white there are?    :eek

Well, nobody correctly guessed the Honda Dealer (HD) quote for the replacement of the LH pannier.

The answer is greater than $2,500.  Did I hear anyone say Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and / or protest along lines of that is BS, crap, ridiculous, outrageous ........ ?

The nice lady from the HD explained that Honda Australia (HA) do not supply a complete pannier, but they can supply all of the parts, and there are 30 plus individual parts in the pannier if you include screws, clips, lock parts, etc...    And then the quote includes $195 for 1.5 hours labour to assemble it.

I have an acquaintance who works for HA, he confirmed this idiotic arrangement.

I checked Partzilla, and summed the individual parts, that came to around half the HA quote.  Methinks we are being ripped-off here in OZ.

I had a similar experience with my 1100.

Quoted Honda price at the time was about $1800 and from the UK it was about $600 plus postage.

In both cases the item would have come from Japan; the seller in the UK was making a profit at his price so how much profit is the Honda warehouse making out of it.

In the end I found a used one from a member.

Right! That decides it for me! When Ruby 2sday comes up for replacement she goes out to the back to be available for parts. Then I can sell Williamson panniers for $1000 and he'll be getting a bargain!!   |-i
