Are the OEM panniers worth it,those who have fitted them? I only ask because I do not know whether to splash out on a pair (at £900 in the UK they are pricey),or wait for Shad to bring out a set.What do people think?

Thanks for info, yes all screws fitted and tight.Could one of you check the inner of your pannier, 10 screws came in the kit, 8 secured the mounting bracket, 2 secured the handle and when i assembled mine there appears to be a screw missing.View attachment 32549

Yes they are good panniers, well worth the money IMHOAre the OEM panniers worth it,those who have fitted them? I only ask because I do not know whether to splash out on a pair (at £900 in the UK they are pricey),or wait for Shad to bring out a set.What do people think?
I'm happy with mine, despite three of four bumper-grommets being now-missing from under the handles. This re-newbie insists on making plow-boy landings and letting the bike tip over. (Know cause and cure, need right-practice.) Panniers are lightly scratched, bike is not. First tip-over actually drug the left pannier out of the rear mount-socket, but with minimal deforming of the parts. Plugged all back and have had no trouble for over 1500 miles so far.Are the OEM panniers worth it,those who have fitted them?

They are great, a little sticky to fit initially, but I’ve seen a lot of great ideas on here to secure (pin through lower mount) and paint pen marking when fully seated. I need to get the inner bags before I take a long trip. I plan to take mine to a local painter over the winter, three screws on each side and the the grey portions come off.Really interested in getting these. They come already put together? Reading the thread, seems like they just snap in with the seat removed. AF1 has them for $850 right now. Has anyone painted them yet? The grey with my red bike is not really what I want, like to match it with red.
Can you buy a single pannier on the V100? Last I checked you could only buy a pair.At least when one of you early adopters -- don't get sensitive on me; just teasing; I like the V100 -- has an oopsie and damages a pannier, you can buy one.
Pity the poor V85 owner who, e.g., to replace a damaged OEM side case, has to buy the set of two panniers and top case for c.$3K USD.
On the (relatively) bright side -- as my example was not hypothetical -- I found a fellow (or, more accurately, he found me when I mentioned my plight) who did not want the OEM and sold me all three for half the OEM cost. Not cheap, but certainly better ... and I now have spares for the other side and top case!

Mine work perfect, but difference between the top and bottom of the gap between the black and grey looked bad. These images are after the small nylon washers were removed. I you can imagine the thickness of the washer added to the lowest point along the verticle seam, it was that much wider and did not look right. No worries now though!My panniers have worked perfect so far, no odd misalignment either.
Part number for rubber bumper:Thanks for the grommet bumper notice. Three out of four now missing after four states, motels, and re-newbie error tipovers, using the panniers as rear drop-guards. Keep making mistakes I had long-ago taught others to avoid, but 50 years later what I know isn't what my reactions do. Back to ride-one skill level, just with a greater appreciation for the practice it's going to take to get the muscle-memory retrained. Currently I am right arm (strong-side) stiff-winged in a surgical post-Ulnar-nerve-op dressing, but plan to have pictures and experiences to share re: pannier attachment when I am permitted more mobility of my arm.

After purposely taking some bumpy back roads, and I-275 with nasty expansion joints, I am happy to say, I made it home without losing them. They seem to lock in pretty well, once into position. While waiting on them, I ordered some pannier liners. These will be nice for traveling - load “them” and carry to and from bike. Seem like nice liners… reflective piping, denier with nylon inner coating to keep things dry, 2 zips per bag (at front and back), exterior side zipper and interior side stash pocket, both shoulder strap and carry handles, rubber feet on bottoms to keep from sliding around inside panniers. $120 for both, delivered (to Cincinnati) from GB in less than a week via trackable DHL.

Yes, (as Dave pointed out) Greatbikersgear is where I got mine as well. Very quick shipping, well made. I’ve done about 4500 miles - including several multi-day trips with liners loaded and in, with no rips, issues or wear spots. They fit very well, and are easy to carry and load into the panniers. The shoulder straps are nice. There are other liner makers for the V100, but I’m happy with these for quality and price. Good luck!Hi, Where did you get the pannier liners?

Dave … on the red one
Yes my V100 also came with 2 locks that work with the ignition keyMy bike came with spare locks for the bags using the bike key and then the bags came with locks with different keys that I did not use
I think it is std , so check back with your dealer as they might have kept your bike keyed locks ?.
