Pannier Bags / Liners for 1200rt ex-police slim top-loading panniers

Post by Deejie »

Hi guys,
New here, but can't find any info on slim pannier bags:


Rather than replace the slim cop panniers on my bike I've decided to live with them - better for commuting, and around 20 litre capacity each..!
Anyway, I'm after pannier bags, so I can pack & remove stuff easily, and to make the most of the space.


Full useable dimensions are c. 48 x 35 x 15 cms (c. [size=6px]18-3/4”L x 5”W x  13-1/2″ )[/size]


I can only find expensive paramedic style cases, for £100s.
Or a brand in the US which doesn't ship to the UK (grr): [size=78%]https://kathysmotorcyclebags.com/product/police-side-case-liners-pair-bmw-r1250rt-p-r1200rt-p/[/size] (I might just ask them again...)
I'm thinking these guys might do the perfect bags, but I've spent hours looking  :-\  [size=78%]https://www.greatbikersgear.com/pannier-liner-bags/[/size]


Any suggestions/solutions that have worked warmly welcomed!


Cheers
Daniel

These are not as high as required but the other dimensions are pretty close, 45.7 x 24 x 14 cm, Saddlemen Universal Saddlebag Liner Large Black, Motardinn

The KJD bags have a zippered height extension to 34 cm, without that, at 25 cm it's the same as those from Saddlemen.
