Would you recommend Krauser over Triumph panniers ?

Hi guys, just a question , recently acquired a 2007 Tiger 1050 but with no luggage. Want to do France again so need some panniers etc. I have heard that the std panniers are a bit dire, so looked at a set of Krauser panniers on Ebay. Dont look too bad, does anyone recommend these or come to that matter anything else. ..................cheers

I can't compare as I stayed with my trusty Track boxes, with modified racks. No complaints, other than to the baggage handlers that beat them up.

Ilk post details of the track modification soon.

I had Krausers on my Hondas they were excellent, mind i don't find the standard stuff too bad, yes they leak but with inners they're not too bad.

i have a 955i and have used factory panniers, found them to be a pain in the backside to pack given that they have the cut out for the exhaust and mine  leaked, now using givi trekkers 35ltr on exhaust side and 45litre on the other side, this makes for a better balance, now a doddle to pack and can get more in them, and they are watertight, i hope this helps you with your decision for your 1050
