I felt that my strom needed some added carry capacity and decided on the Holan Nomada Pro 2 Panniers. There were a few reasons that elevated the Holan panniers over other options.
1. I like the cutout that "tucks" them into the bike.
2. They are supposed to be symmetrical.(I will know more after they are installed)
3. the 31 liter cases (right side is smaller for muffler cutout) do not make the bike exceeding wide.
4. They have an option for white, my strom is white
5. Compared to other quality aluminum cases, they are fairly priced.
I ordered them mid-January from Holan in Poland and they took about a month to arrive (shipping took 8 days). They arrived today and I could not wait to unpack them. I believe they may have been made to order which is why the long delay. At first look, the wait was worth it. They appear to be quite well made with a very good finish. I took pictures that follow. They came with stickers which immediately were removed.
This is the whole kit (also a dog chew bone in upper left of pic) once unpacked:
I noticed when I first saw the pic it looks like a smiley(not intentional), is this an omen? :smile2:

I will take more pictures as I install the cases and provide more information as I it becomes available. Stay Tuned, the wait will not be long!
