Title: Throw over panniers and touring kit generally
Post by: demic77 on 13 June 2019, 11:44:19 pm: I'm off to France for a few days on a WWI battlefield tour in a month or so. I've got a set of old Riossi/Carnell/Motorcycle City throw overs but they are well past their best and I could do with some new uns. Can anyone recommend a set that fits best on a foxeye 600? Also could do wi a new jacket, anyone used the Oxford montreal 3 or Alpinestars andes?

I use Oxford lifetime sports throwovers which fit fine but I need to have them high at the back to avoid the indicators.

Must have done about 40k miles in it, the velcro around the neck is getting a bit tired now, but it's 4 years old. Used it for my jaunt to Scotland last week, still does the job. :thumbup
Might have a set of black Oxford sports throwovers in the loft if you're interested.

I read that wrong and thought you were recommending panniers that cost £1,000 😳
