RE: Hepco & Becker Luggage Installed

This seems to have turned into a H&B thread, so here's my little unfinished tale:
For the CB1100RS, I wanted a set of solid panniers and top box. I emailed H&B, and was assured that the Explorer set would fit nicely. So I ordered a set of black Explorers. When they arrived, the dealer (I had not yet picked up the bike) installed the rack and promptly discovered that the Explorer panniers do NOT fit the RS. Remind me to write H&B and whine about that. So they recommended a kit called Gobi, and I said fine, OK, order those, then. Not the look I had in mind, but now I'm in a more pragmatic mode and let's just get some bags on here. But a month passes and no Gobis. Covid-19 has thrown a spanner in the supply chain somewhere, apparently. Then, yesterday, the dealer called and said that H&B are unable to deliver at all, and would I like the Junior set instead? Well, now we've moved from the aluminium adventure boxes to rounded, 80s plastic cases, and I'm not 100% happy with that, but they fit the rack that is already installed (which excludes looking at other manufacturers) and they're currently available in Norway. So now I'm waiting for a set of Junior cases, and this thread has calmed me somewhat: it looks quite good!
There's also a substantial price difference, so I'll probably look into getting a GoPro or something for the remainder. Or a pair of leather pants or something. I'll post a picture when it's all mounted, probably next week.
I hope I can fit a helmet in the top box, and that the panniers don't bother my SO when she rides pillion.
I do like that the side racks are so easy to remove, the RS does look better without them. Smile
