Seems ridiculous to have to use liners.
The trunks on all my cars have kept water free even in high pressure car washes.

Mark444444,

Ive had self stick Velcro adhesive soften in the heat of summer enough to release from the item it was attached to. The first time it was industrial strength Velcro stuck to a Chatterbox communicator. The Velcro on the helmet did not soften in the heat. Chatterbox was hanging by the power and mic cables. You may want to attach a lanyard to your document pouch.

My liners are not for water proofing. I have them because they are Cordura and have nice handles. I can grab the handles and bring my stuff inside the tent or hotel easily. I could just take the pannier off, but it gets nasty on trips. My Bumot panniers stay dry.

And now you know the rest of the story.

You can wear one year round if that's your thing.

Tusk panniers with smugglers box.

They were repurposed from my Pelican cases. I don’t think they have names on them.

 

[Poseidon1969]

Gotcha, thanks.

Corndog, which liners are you using?

My mind just functioned. My Pelican cases were purchased from a company called Caribou. They made the panniers and rack system which used Pelicans. They sold me the liners. If I recall they had 2 sizes.

I hate small things hanging around the bottom of my cases so I put a shure microphone bag (I do pro audio) in each of my cases. There's a small length of 3/4" aluminum inside of each one and it's rivited from the outside with RTV sealant to keep it waterproof. These will be used for things like sunglasses, multitool, tire pressure gauge, throttle stop, etc.

I also rivited a small coat hook to hang my disk and helmet locks.

So far so good, the real test will be this weekend on the trails.

Cool - love the lock hook!

Those locks will grind your other contents to bits if those panniers are not tightly stuffed I think ....

I think I'll put one in my top box also. When I commute I tend not to use my side cases.

I think it will be fine. There isn't much in that case regularly. It might wear down the finish over time thought, we'll see. I'm not too worried about it.

My Wee has side cases, like these.

I can, probably, search, and find, but, does anybody know where I can purchase black handle-straps, like these? (Photo from first message, in this thread).

Thanks, Mark.

I think I’ve read that, one of the well-known side case makers, makes these cases, for Suzuki, and that that company sold these straps. Not sure, though. Been a long time, since I’ve seen it discussed.

if nobody knows, maybe I’ll spend some time, searching.
