Krausser Pannier for Classic wanted

[Robert14]

Hello,does anybody know, where I can get a set of Krausser Pannier for a Norton Classic?Thank`sRobert

[gripper]

Ebay I suppose. Norton Classics don't normally come with panniers unless you are thinking of the Krauser Commander. Otherwise BMW Krauser style panniers could be made to fit with a bit of work.

@gripperThank`s for your idea.I found a pair of used and quite cheap ones on Ebay!

Hello,how do I insert a picture in a posting?Robert

[Robert14]

okay I found it -> my Classic with Krauser panniers

[johnbirchjar]

Very nice ,They look a tad tidier than my "Throw Overs",(but I suspect that you can't carry as much .)Hopefully we will see you at a few rallies so's mine is not the only Classic attending. (Is that a petrol can you are brandishing?)rgds,J.B.

Hello John,yes it`s a petrol can, I did not reach the next petrol station. The picture was taken on the Isle of Rügen, in the northern part of Germany - near Poland. A nice coastal round trip from Hamburg to the polish border.Therefore I have the panniers. 5l petrol and 2 x 2l oil in the left one, my personal things (malt whisky, mobile phone, toothbrush, rain suite etc.) in the right one.Hope to see you once!Robert

Carrying a spare can of petrol?Is there a shortage of service stations in Germany?If your bike do's about the same mpg as my old girl,150m(240k) main tank,30m(48k) on reserve, (I know this because I did a "full tank" onto "reserve to empty" just so I knew ).I usually start looking for a gas station after about 110/120miles,(I'm usually ready for a bit of a break by then anyway ,)rgds,J.B.

Well, I`m a lazy guy and don`t look on the milometer or map and often just follow my nose!In Italy the service stations are closed on weekends and the old Great War alpine roads are situated in thinly populated areas. Therfore the petrol spare can! Robert
