Any recommendations for panniers for 2022 Africa twin base with manual transmission. Looking for hard pannier.
Thanks in advance

I have a 2021 but believe would be the same. I used the Tusk racks and panniers and have been very happy with them.

I have the oem plastic panniers. I went with them because I only use occasionally and seeing as they are rackless the bike looks standard when not using them.

I run Touratech Zega Evo X. Expensive but love them.

I like the idea of the Honda rackless panniers. Apparently its a bit of a pain if you buy them after market to get the locks done for the ignition key? My apologies if this has been covered on a previous post.

I am not sure about the pre 2020 ones but the post 2020 ones are not too bad, probably about 10-15 mins to remove the barrels and then maybe about the same to swap all the internals of the barrel to suit your key.

Oh one thing to note however, they need to be opened using the key before you can remove the lock so make sure any second hand ones you buy either have the key or have the barrels removed.

Thanks for that Hood. 👍 👨‍🎓😬

When I was in Florida in December I rented an AT with Tusk hard panniers. Before leaving Florida I ordered a set for my 2023 ATAS. Very impressed with the quality at the price point. Have had SW Motech in the past, but at less then half the cost and even more stout IMHO, the Tusk is an easy pill to swallow.

Wayne would you care to share the source/ supplier and was there any duty, shipping or other added on delivery to Canada? Thx

Purchased from Rocky Mountain. Ordered and had delivered to my condo in Florida so no duties. And since it was well under the maximum allowed by Customs. Realize that doesn’t help you at all.

My AT came with a set of GIVI trekkers on it, I have ridden the bike yet so can't really give a full opinion, But given the size they seem that they are giong to work well

Having had 3 types (poly, soft, and aluminum) on multiple bikes, it really depends on use.

For traveling between shelter (home to hotel) I like the PP(plastic) luggage for it's simple rackless/tucked in looks.
For big-bike moto-camping I prefer Aluminum (Zega Pro) luggage for top-loading and durability (used as cooler/camp chair).
For small-bike (enduro) camping, soft luggage is the ticket.

Gnarly Parts out of Chilliwack BC lists them(I've been looking too), I ordered wheels from them. They were good to deal with and free shipping

I take it that if you want Honda ally panniers as opposed to poly you have to have a big rack fitted to hold them??

Affirmative. AT Aluminum Pannier

Also frames required for more or less any other hard panniers also.

I used the Touratech Zega Pro setup on my R1200GS. It was great and I lean that way again. Their rack system is all stainless. The panniers are top opening so while mounted on the bike and opened, nothing falls out. Can be pulled off and used as a stool around the campfire. Yada, yada, yada... Not the budget choice though.

 

[AT-Dragon]

I think they are ALL WAY OVERPRICED, for just a small aluminum box.

You’re probably going to have difficulty fishing up an argument there unless some luggage mfg is lurking here. As a relative value prop though when measured against the OEM poly @ USD $1100 then the aluminums don’t look so bad.
Tusk is intriguing but their rack is steel, not stainless steel.

True about the plastic ones too, but in comparison my KLR cost me 320$ total for all three boxes and mounts. Then too a oil change was a little over 20$
Compared to 90-100$ for the AT… On the bright side, it’s not a $$-BMW.-$$. ROFL
