I have bit the bullet and gone for a 21 V4 SP after owning my 899 for 10 years. I go to the TT most years and have the SW Motech Blaze pannier set for the 899, question is can I buy the brackets to adapt these to fit the V4? I see they are listed for a V4 street fighter but not the Panigale! Are they not the same subframe and seat unit?? Any other options to consider?
I go to the TT every year and having spent >10 years with the same issue (luggage) I now ship my stuff the week before and travel with a rucksack and minimal stuff. WAY easier and only costs about £20 for the service.
Totally agree with the above....... As also went to the TT last year,and I always send all my clothes a week ahead via recorded delivery with Royal Mail...... But as an added twist,I pack cheap teeshirts,and any boxers/socks that could do with being replaced..... So I can absolutely throw the lot on my travels,and then I wont need to send anything home,and also no washing on my return..... Win Win !!
