Hepco Becker pannier brackets on a Norge?
« on: May 22, 2018, 10:53:41 AM »
Has anyone done this?
The stock bags are odd shaped and rather useless for a laptop or tools I need to bring for work.
I see the HB website shows brackets available. Just wondering if anyone here has used them.

Please post pictures if you do this. I’d lik e to see what HBs would look like on, and what the bike looks like with just the mounting brackets. I like the looks of the Norge bags, but functionally they leave a lot to be desired,IMO.

There are a number of people who have the H-B racks & bags on their 1100 Breva and 1200 Sport.

Same exact setup as the Norge.

I'm one of those, although I only have 1200 Sports now, Brevas and Norge long gone.  The H&B bags are superior in every way.  I still have one set of Aprilia bags for a 1200 Sport which I would readily swap for a set of H&Bs if anyone thinks differently.

A little unkind, Roy.  The H&B bags are nothing like you see fitted to a beemer GS or Stelvio.  Now those are ammo cans!
