Wunderlich Pannier Racks

Post by EasyRider »

Hopefully this is the last accessorie i need to buy (for now) for Artie.

My wife is only a short ass (5ft 4") and every time she gets on or off the bike she would kick the top of the panniers.
I looked for those thicker rubber matts things that go on top of the painners, without any luck (i've seen them in photos).
So i have ended up buying the Wunderlich racks that go on the panniers. Luckly a used pair came up on good old eBay.
Not sure if i'm going to keep them chrome or have them powder coated black.
They were not cheap at just under £165 posted, but a lot cheaper than buying them new at £360.

I can see the wife getting her foot stuck in the rack and going ass over tit and ending up on the ground :mrgreen:
My nick name for her is " CYF " (ClumsY Fcuk) :lol:

I had a similar problem and happened across some Isotta pannier racks which work too 👍

The Wunderlich pannier racks are here and now fitted.
I was not sure about the chrome, but i like it.
The wife also like them and said how long before a spider builds it web in them :lol: .

A cutting from the tree would be good.

I don't have a money tree sadly, just savings.
But, you can see i never pay RRP for anything i buy.
If i can find a good used item and it something i will use, i will buy it.
Its like the guy i bought these racks from, he had a top box rack to that i could of had for £95.
But because it not something i would use, i did not see the point in buying it.

The top box rack is great. We use a givi waterproof bag for the over night ferry (Hull - Rotterdam) stuff and rock strap it on the rack rather than delve into the top box or panniers for the onboard bit 👍

Most or nearly all of my riding will be in the UK . And mainly day trips only.
But if i do ever need a top box rack i will get one of them non drill type, as i dont want to be drilling holes in a silly priced top box.

A rack like the one below i would get.
