Fair Price for '00 - '04 Panniers?

[triumphite]

What do they cost from the dealer new?

Around a grand for the bags and the mounting kit.

Installation is 2-3 hours.

Sorry I accidentally deleted the original post....


The question was: What are used Panniers worth. I'm considering a set at $500 CDN. No keys and scraped on one side.

Another question: They're ST bags. Will they fit my RS?

[JayMoney]

2 - 3 hours!!! I had no idea it would be that involved...

[pushr0d]

IIRC, you can buy the hardware (mounting) kit separately. Intallation is quite involved. There are several mounting and reinforcing bits, and a load of fasteners.

I think the kit and the bags are the same for both the ST and RS.

You might try a "Completed Items" search on eBay to see what bags have sold for recently. No locks and scuffed up; sounds a bit steep at 500cdn.

There were no specific bags for the RS but they will fit as the ST rear end is the same.

$500 (can) seems a bit steep for my liking especially scratched with no keys!!

Keep an eye on Ebay. :-D

2-3 hrs? ***** your dealer ripped you off bad. I can completely remove mine and re-install it again in less than 30 mins... And that's if I'm not in a hurry...

And yea, the panniers should be mountable on the RS, but you might have clearance issues with the exhaust if it can't be lowered like the ST's. But since I don't own an RS, I have no clue if they are movable like the ST''s or not...

[triumphite]

You'll have do do some custom work to the exhaust can mounting to get them to fit on an RS. There is a guy on here who did it. Post a question for him. He had nice pics of the work. I'd offer the guy 300, see what he says. Good luck. :-D
