Asher 1st Gear April 3, 2013 Share April 3, 2013 I know this thread title sounds funny and grabs your attention! These days it is popular for motorcycles to have a pair of big saddle bags or boxes on the sides on top of the traditional box at the back. Honestly, it looks like a pair of LPC That is more common among the motorcyclists riding cruisers. I used to ride kups last time and I never notice that trend. It's new trend. I thought that enhances motorcyclist's safety if they were to fall and the side boxes can prevent the legs from being pinned by the bike. But on the other hand, I am having shivers when they lane split beside me. It looks as if they might just scratch our vehicles due to the protruding side bags... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarzan666 2nd Gear April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 2 purposes IMO.. 1) Some bikers really have alot of things to carry..for their business or errands. 2) Another which i dun like is especially those riding big touring bikes eg BMW GSA, they put on these side boxes all the time even with nothing inside so they will look more garang & adventurous. For me I hate to put such side boxes coz its hard for me to squeeze through tight traffic, only uses it to go long trips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pplater 1st Gear April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 TS actually I think side panniers contact car door less likely to scratch paintwork than hard side panniers. I use the H&B 30L side panniers on my FZ600 as I need storage space for my riding gears and raincoat etc. They are ok for squeezing traffic. It really depends on rider. Some use 40L side panniers with ease. Once a rider contacted my car door lightly. Had the cheek to knock knock on my window at traffic light when it was clearly he who misjudged and contact my rear door when I am accelerating straight ahead. All kinds of people on the road. The vehicle type and accesorries/boxes is not the problem. The user is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 People have been using side boxes for years ah. Perhaps there are more choices on the market now and also soft panniers available. Of course there will always be riders who feel inadequate and need make their bikes as physically imposing as possible, probably to make themselves feel better (yeah the ones with huge panniers and hardly anything inside). You can recognise these people by the permanent "yaya papaya" face they have on when they ride, as these people don't wear full-face helmets so that everyone can recognise them and their big motorbike.

Tarzan666 2nd Gear April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 Oh ya..now side panniers not those cheapo black plastic kind..now very stylo.. adding them on makes bike look more expensive & nice imo.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
