Herricane Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 We had our right side pannier bail off our 2015 800 during a ride and it is damaged beyond repair. Unfortunately, we have to order both panniers to replace just the right side so I'm hoping to find someone to split the cost with me. Thank you!!

barrypz Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My left one departed about 100 miles into a ride, but I had slowed for an exit ramp. Still works, but rashed up. I now have duct tape on the forward support and a bungee in the back. I thought those things were over priced for what I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rectaltronics Posted August 30, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sorry to hijack the topic but fellas, how did the panniers bail? Anything we fellow 7th/8th gen owners oughta' know? Mine seem pretty solid, even hanging on well in a couple of tip-overs and a few incidents where I didn't quite realize how wide those things were. I have also been known to over-load them routinely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted August 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 31, 2016 Think it was more operator error than bad design. As in removed the key whilst handle still up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted September 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2016 I leave the spare set of keys on the side bags more than not. Even on long trips of several hours. The key has never even come close to unlocking the bags or fly out. Maybe I am just lucky. Sorry I can;t help with the OP request.

This is the spare set of keys. I also have a key for the bags attached to the ignition key. But for sure. This is a bad habit of mine I am trying to correct. I do take both sets with me every time I am traveling any distance just in case I loose a set, which is bound to happen sooner rather than later if I continue this way.

The new Vfr boxes utilise the ignition key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about time. Seemed silly having two keys for the bike all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
