Aluminium panniers

Hi Well i've just imported a set of Gobi's and SW MOTEC quick release mounting system from Germany.
Markus Norrman is his name and is one very good dude to deal with and his service is the best and his prices are good.
One week to get them from Germany and about two weeks to get them though customs and to my door,but in saying that my other shippment only took a couple of days to get to me.
I will post some pics of my bike as some as i get my computer sorted or take a look at Oldriders Paradoxcil Day Glad and Sad for pics of my Gobi's on the Tiger.
If you want to take alook at Markus's web site dial up

Cheers, Stu

Is that kincrome? And do you have an address of a supplier 'cos I can't find one
Update:
Went to Bunnings and they have the 430 x 380 x 154 sized case. It's the same yellow case as the Kincrome but it's rebranded (something-tech). $99. The direct equivalent Pelican 1500 is $319! However I want the next size up -515x 414 x 200 - which is not stocked at Bunnings. And the Pelican equivalent is either the 1550 (slightly smaller) for $359 or the 1600 (slightly larger) at $449

I run with Pelican cases on my R1200GSA, and recently flipped the bike on the Molesworth track. The cases came through unscathed but had they been aluminum they would have been stuffed!

Withe the DRZ I always run with sodt bags (Because of the weight and to reduce bulk)... Try ANDY STRAPZ soft panniers... Tough and with liners water proof. The other options is WOLFMAN soft luggage which is also waterproof and they also produce tank panniers.
