KTM 1190 panniers

[rayjay]

Hi dudes

My first time ever joining a forum.

I own a 2013 1190 and believe me I am going mental trying to decide on the best panniers for my bike.

Really, do most people have £800 - £1000 to spend on luggage? Do you really have to carrier a three piece suite on your bike? Does the carry space justify the excess weight/price/width? Hard or soft? Symmetric or asymmetric?

Ideally I would purchase quality soft panniers but am I right in saying that I will also require carrier frames? Can any 1190 owners recommend a realistic solution?

I would much appreciate hearing your advice/experiences.

My last two 990s came with the 3 box set inc the frames I only use(d) them occasionally as they are quite wide

I am looking at a 690 that may come with the KTM branded Powerparts Touratech metal boxes

These appear to be £283 each plus the same for the frame

If I buy the bike, I would sell the panniers ... they may fit any other bike. I would be likely to keep the frame and use soft luggage

Anyone interested in some expensive metal boxes please let me know

My panniers were already fitted to the 1190 so never looked at other options. Generally I use the frames and add Kriega soft luggage bags to them. The hard cases that came with the bike adorn the garage walls....

Hi Bob. I like the open topped tray fixed to the pannier rack above the exhaust, good use of space. Do you know who sells these or is it a custom job? Cheers Nige.
