no sign of the pannier.    I will contact my insurer and see what can be done

Hey Richo....  how goes your quest to replace the lost pannier?

I've just spotted this discussion ........

I take it that Richo lost a pannier.  Please correct me otherwise.  If no correction needed, I hope it was RH side pannier, red and for an ST1300, because I have one surplus to my needs.

You are correct on all accounts, although the shade of red may not be the same.

Just caught up with this post.    The bike is back in order and with matching panniers.  Thanks for the offers of assistance

Great news.  Did you find the original or were just quick and finding a partner?

Long story that will cost me a few drinks at some stage.   I stripped down the bike for maintenance and installing heated grips.   Once the jobs were done and the grips installed I went for a test ride.    Rode the bike for a couple of weeks.  Only on the ride to stone hut did I notice the missing pannier.  It was only After calls to insurance companies and exchanging messages with club members re panniers did the wayward pannier come to light.    It was safely tucked away in my shed.

You are an idiot!

But a happy one.

Oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richo, thanks to you and Williamson (Michael) I have started zip tying the pannier handles to the pillion handles having decided that as the ST1300 ages, the pannier securing mechanism is obviously losing its mojo (at least the zip ties are the reusable sort). But now what do I do??    I suppose that now I know Williamson has a spare RHS pannier I can at least do away with that zip tie.
