Left-hand Pannier ST1300
« 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.

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.

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.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

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.

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