    WTB - Old school hard luggage, panniers or saddle bags

    I am looking for a set of vintage 1970's Hard saddle bags/panniers - Shoei etc for my BMW R80 mono project. Happy to look at anything the funkier the better - trying to make this bike look a little different to pack

    let me know what you got...

    Those aren't old school. The cool kids used to get old travellers trucks (big old suitcases), drill holes in them and mount them to the sides (either via custom frame or straps onto the side/grab rails).

    Real cool kids use toilet cisterns. The super funky cool kids make sure they're not matching!

    Actually that means they are exactly hipster.

    I am a bit of fan of side mounted ammo-cases myself. Especially the 50cal boxes.
