- NEW NEW NEW!!!! • Rack and attachment sy... You guys were asking me video about my pannier rack and attachment i made,So here it is. Thank you for positive feedback. :)
Pictures of a pannier rack: s409.photobucke...
One garage project.
So i decided to build my own panniers. Material is glass fiber.
I have xt660z TENERE and these panniers are for it.
in the end of video,there is a list of all supplies i used for project
They look really really good. For anyone having a go at this can I suggest that you bed in a plate of aluminium, into the layers of the side, where you will mount them to the bike to give much better rigidity to the pannier walls. You could get the same with bolting a plate in but it would be much stronger resin glued in between the layers.
Strong work on this DIY deal. I have a friend with a bike minus some good bags and he has been itching to get some nice hard bags added. His bike value is $2000 on a good day, and the hard bags would run him $1200 after the mounting hardware is bought. We really wanted to go another way and your video will be the topic of discussion the next time we are in the shop. Thanks for a great video!
I think they look fantastic, better than store bought, great job
Nice work. Good example of “built not bought
Mate you did a great jaaaaab. Well done o. You could have gel coated the mould first with a colour of your choice, then built up your layers. Just an idea for someone else who is thinking of doing it too. Really good video. Thanks for sharing. Stay groovy.
Thanks for data! I think that you have made a gorgeous piece of equipment for reasonable expenses. I will definitely take your project as example for my Africa Twin! Keep on!
Nice wish I could do it 😮
great job. love the vinyl wrap instead of paint
I can only see one correction I would make, panniers sets for specific bikes, say BMW 1200, have different size bags on either side to make up for the exhaust coming out 1 side. So at the end of the day when you look at the bike from the read the out edge on either side is the exact same distance away from the middle of the seat. works out to be 44 liters of storage in the right case, 38 liters in the left case, and 31 liters in the topcase.
Yes, great job, a very respectable looking pair of Panniers, i bet you learnt a fair bit about fibreglassing too.
Great work Sir your very skillful. in the UK we call them cisterns lol
roflmao
Pretty nice!!! Quite a few years back I tried similar deal, got through one bag and gave up, lol. But you stuck though it and it looks great!
It is hard work and there is many steps that could go wrong. I think i got a bit lucky when everything worked out so well. :)
Alright fellas! Finally i have some decent pictures of those pannier racks i made with a friend of mine.s409.photobucket.com/user/Pekankuvia/library/Pannier%20rack?sort=3&page=1
In two pictures there is a ratchet straps going around panniers and rack,it might be just a overkill. But i tought it can´t harm to use them to secure my trip,there was a hell of a load inside those panniers.
+kayttajanimi Nice job! How much in Euros did the boxes and rack cost in total?
nice job. I built boats when i was a kid .lots of work.
Wow. They look better than the branded ones out there. Fix some LEDs on them.
you can build your own racks out of 15mm copper piping, t juntions and elbow joints using copper epoxy to glue it all together
Very food,fantastic project
Very good Send one here to Brazil for my Suzuki V Strom 1000. Joking, congratulations on the great job Congratulations 👏
I'm impressed , that looks great
Well done dude, super impressed
Well done, great project 🇦🇺👍
Looks great! Good job.
Thank you!
Nice job if you ever make a new set checkout gelcoat... its how they finish fiberglass boat hulls.
Oh yeah,i used gelcoat in "boat wreck" fix when i was a kid. I am still using that boat. Former owner has busted keel of that boat pretty bad.
awesome job! im going to copy exactly what you did and give you 100% credit!
good job ! good song !!
Impressive!
Very impressive work!
They look awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'm planning on some custom made fiberglass boxes for my dune buggy, this helps a lot :-D
That's a brilliant idea, I've never thought of using glass for panniers. opens up a world of possibilities.
What did they end up weighing when finished?
Instablaster.
Awesome
nice work old chap!!!!
Dang, those look awesome as ****!! Great job man
Excellent skills, you should have shown them on the bike
very good
Next time go fiberglass, rowing, fiberglass, rowing, and so on...
Nice! You could also use it as a toilet tank and lid. Cheers!
They look really good!
I'm about to attempt this myself. Urs look great hope myn turn out this good. And I'm totally copying u with the wrap idea too. I recon mutch better than paint finish
Just never crash or they'll probably crunch and not absorb
@@shaegrover9516 in all fairness I can't see my old fiberglass ones being any better in a crash
Two layers of carbon wrapped in fibreglass is stiff, yet resistant against cracks. Similar characteristics as glare©
Well done very nise idea.🤩
Very impressed
great work.
Thank you! :)
This is pretty damn good! Thanks!
Very nice. Great work!!!
FANTASTIC JOB!! Cheers for the inspiration! :D
great! my next job for my motorcycle
Great job!
Thank you!
vERY very good job! Thank you for sharing!
Wow. Im speechless. What are the costs for all of theese
Hi,there is a list of supplies in the end of a video. There is a big differences on prices,between countries. I live in Finland and everything is expensive here.
thank you.
most impressive !! looks like quality build ! well done ;)
Dude this is fucking awesome. great job
CSM or chopped strand mat has much better omnidirectional strength compared to rovings. Roving has good bidirectional strength the trouble you were having with the csm is you were using to light a grade of CSM in OZ we rate our glass at 100 csm or tissue we call it here and 225 csm 450 csm 600 csm it looks like you started with 225 and that's fine for the first layer. The next layer use 450 csm and it will start getting stronger. Your boat supplier would have the heavier glass weights. Have you thought about spraying gel coat first, it would save you a lot of hassles with sanding and filling latter on you can also paint gel coat on with a brush. Your panniers turned out great some piccys on the bike would have been sweet cheers.
Hi,master Wu. Gel coat really is a great way to hide some surface imperfections. I built a cafe racer "rear bump" for my suzuki couple of moths ago,and it was a great help. There is couple of pannier pictures on the description (link to photobucket). It was my first trip with these panniers,and of course there was a massive load in them - so i decided to secure them with straps. Totally unnecessary,after all. I can say that couple of trips later.
Fucking yea, great job.
Well done Bru. Looks pro!!
fantastic, well done mate
Great job! Thumbs up!
What a great job, fantastic, are you going to make a top box for the rear ?
Hi, i actually found really good top box - for so good price that i had to get that. :D
Very Nice job, Did the resin not stick to the aluminum tape at all, or did you put down something as well to help release? Thanks
+Chris Fisher It didn´t stick on it. :)
I didn´t use any wax/greese on these molds.
Well done mate, very Pro!
Thank you!
@@kayttajanimi i made my panniers copied your project and obtained good results, my bike dropped off but the panniers were intact
@@lucianopodesta6613 That is great to hear! I wish you happy kilometers with your new panniers.
@@kayttajanimi thanks
Wow!, excellent job!, you have inspired me!
Nice to hear that! :)
Wowww😍😍😍😍 powerful 💪
Mantep nih..ga sampek 1k sub udh ada iklan
Truly incredible! And what a good idea! How do they hold?!
Really well, i don't have that tenere anymore, now i have streetbike with small panniers. But those had a lot of space, they are heavy duty compared for this bmw street bike panniers. I never had a leakage or anything. Still have them - just not a suitable bike at the moment. :D
very nice
Well done!
Well done! I love projects like this. Really a great set of panniers you have build yourself.
Thank you!
Muy guapas y fácil de hacer gracias por la idea
NICE WORK MAN!
Thank you!
Nice job!
This video is amazing. I'll make my own top case myself. Thank you for share.
Muito legal! Produz um vídeo piloto a moto, mostrar como é eficaz os baús!
excellent work sir!!! brilliant ideas, thanks for the video ;)
Excellent job !, well explained. I new I wasn't the only one trying this. One question, which system (attachment) did you use to secure the pannier to the rack ?, I saw the strap around the panniers but that's just extra security ! It's the rack tube 8mm ?...Great job !
Thank you! I will have to take some pictures or even a video of that attachment system i made up. There is a strap around panniers because it was my first trip with them. There was a heavy load in them and i thought that extra strap would not harm anyone. I drove in pretty nasty roads or should i say trails. :) But after all,straps weren't needed,panniers stayed on the place with no problem. That pipe,i used,is 20mm with wall diameter of 2mm. I think it is some kind of hydraulic pipe for industrial purposes and machines.
kayttajanimi Great job! I'm also curious to see the attachment system.
And I wonder how much strong they are compared to aluminium ones, but I don't think you're gonna drop your bike to show us... :-D
Hi,Thank you! Yeah,you are right,i will not drop my bike for a test. But basicly,when you drop the bike with alloy panniers you can hammer it back straight,not too many times but couple times... But how well will the lid fit back on,it´s a different thing. I made these panniers fairly thick,so i would say it could survive of dropping. And because of shape of these,insted of basic cubic shape,it should handle that stress caused by dropping fairly well. And if something cracks on these,it is repairable with glassfiber resin,or if needed i can add more layers of fibreglass. I will make a little video of attachment system i made earlier. I haven´t seen similar system earlier,it is simple,safe and strong. :)

I love these gunna try these myself
Esta genial las maletas
Fantastic.
WOWWWW
Belo trabalho! está de parabens.
Nice Job
Muito bom, Very good. Tanks.
This was a fantastic build; thanks for sharing! Do you recall what the woven fiberglass cloth "weight" was per yard? It comes in 3oz, 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz thicknesses at the place I'm shopping.
Thank you! Actually i don´t even know the thickness of that material. As i said,i went to boat builders workshop and i asked him some sort of heavy duty fiberglass and he had solution for my problem. I have seen those in some random hardware stores,but they were much lighter made. I think it would not hurt anyone to use little bit lighter version,gotta be easier to bent to corners. And it is really thirsty material,have to use a lot of resin.
bad ass project dude
Wonderful!
I should admit that you have done an excellent job! Perfect result! Have you counted spent hours and maybe expenses :) Thanks!
Thank you! I don´t know really how many hours it took me to make those,maybe little bit over 2 weeks,working something like 2-3 hour a day on them. It´s not too bad to do something interesting and fun.
If you are interested,you can actually count the costs,look at the list in the end of the video. Here in Finland those are pretty expensive materials and i did not know how much i will need this and that,so i could save money by buying a WHOLE lot of materials at once,you know. I guess i spent nearly 300 euros in total.
It was more that i thought in the beginning of that project,but you never know the final price until its done.
It could be less than 200 euros if i would build them thinner (weaker) than they are. Strength is the word! :)
Most excellent!
Huomasin vasta videon loputtua et olit vielä suomalainenkin 😄 Helvetin hieno projekti, en olis ajatellut kaikkee varmaan ihan samalla tavalla, mut lasikuitu hommis ihan aloittelija ittekkin, tuli upeet!
Joo tuolla metodilla saa just niin lujat kun vaan haluaa. Ja samoilla muoteilla voi tehdä vaikka useammatkin. Muistaa vaan kastella hartsilla oikein kunnolla ne lasikuidut niin hyvä tulee. Ja kovetetta ruukaan yleensä laittaa vähintään tuplat purkin suositukseen nähden. 😂
hello, and wonderful project. inspiring. It appears (from one photo) that it is almost 31 liters. Is that correct? Do you remember the size (LxWxH)? Thank you!
Piękna robota!
thank this will help me a little for repaire my scooter bike body
I hope so! Have fun with the project. :)
Very great sir.
what have you used to fix on brackets? .... awesome project pal !!!
Excellent!
Really nice job. How did you mount them......direct bolted-on or quick-release type mechanism?
little bit bought,i hope this video helps! czcams.com/video/Z5T4WG4dakY/video.html
Ok you have some skills. That is nice work. How did you mount to the rack on the bike and also how much does each weigh.
Thank you! Actually,those pannier racks are not ready yet. I have built parts for it, but it haven´t been welded,i don´t have welding machine,so i need someone to help me with that. Anyway,that pannier rack will be bolted to the bike. And i have a vision how to make those panniers easy removable. But soon it shall be ready. Weight of one pannier is 5,2kg (11lbs),not the lightest ones because i made them strong,not light. Weight is pretty much the same as same size aluminium ones would weight.
Rack and attachment system. related to My homemade pannier project for my motorcycle Here is video about rack!
Can you share the size of them please pr if you have a blueprint of them, cause i would like to make 2 like you did
Good work, but arn't those heavyer than aluminum panniers?
They look amazing, but aren't they a little big for ur bike?
mentalmistake Thank you,those are fairly big panniers,but definitely not too big!
I had smaller panniers earlier but everything was so complicating when i needed to take something from there,i mean everything had to be so tightly packed to fit in there,and in the end i always had to take big backpack with me after all. Bike can carry those panniers really good and i don't need to stress so much. Priceless. :)
Woven, not roven :) Woven fiberglass matting is much stronger than the normal cloth!
Very Nice.... About the rack to?
love the audio!
i cant weld either ...just as a matter of interest how much did your final boxes weigh
Weight of one pannier is 5,2kg (11lbs)
Hi,
I'm very impressed: congratz for your excellente job!!! How many euros do you ask for build the same boxes and plug-n-play rack and attachment for my Honda XL200R Paris Dakar? Thank you in advance for the reply. Ciao.
