WTB side racks for Thermos type panniers T3/G5/Convert

[Perazzimx14]

Anybody have a set of usable pannier racks for a SP1000? Ideally want to mount some Pelican cases I already have. Not really interested in a rear rack if its a combo deal that'd be okay. Rusty and crusty is okay as long as they are not bent or damaged.

Thanks,

AFAIK only the Krauser setups were available for the SP in ready to bolt on form.  I used this setup and modded for my  SPNT

I've had HB racks that fit a Convert, I donT think I modded them from something else but I guess it's possible..

You have fabrication skills and tools?   Why not just make some?

I have a pair of H-B racks from a Breva 750 that I was going to modify for the Morini. Won't be doing that now, so if you're interested in them for "raw material", let me know.

In a post a while back Charlie pointed out that the T3/G5/Vert brackets for the thermos bags  work and I started based on that, but since my SPNT was set up in earlier  style ( LM footrests and pedals. upswept mufflers) I had to mod those brackets in order to get the bags to fit higher and further back.

Thanks. Changed my title to reflect.

True but every time I set out to do something like this it only cost me 3 or 4x as much money verses buying ready made

Was there something wrong with the eBay rack setup that was referenced in the second post above? It went for less than $60 with shipping and met the crusty and rusty criteria. Or perhaps it exceeded in the crusty, rusty department.

I ask because I have a nicer set that I could offer, but I'd look to get about $100-125 with shipping. PM if interested. For reference, I'd say mine are as good, or better, than this set:

Anybody know who made this rack/pannier system? This is even more ideal than the Thermos type racks.

Krauser. Used to have a bunch of that junk laying around, got rid of it years ago.

After looking at the SP with upswept pipes I think I am going to scrap the ide of putting hard panniers on it. Might just go with a rear rack and a tail bag.

Would something like this help you?

Yes that style would be workable

You might contact the seller and ask for dimensions. I recall putting some BMW bags on a Tonti framed bike with minor bending and making small stub brackets.    The guy is accepting offers.

Yesterday  I got the SP tagged and insured so I'm now legal to ride. Going to get some miles on it before put anymore money into it to see if its a keeper.
