Guest eatpasta Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Does anyone know if Touratech is planning on making mounts for their Zega boxes for the FJ? I have a pair of Zega boxes off of my last 1150 that would be going onto the FJ if/when I decide to get one. Decided to mock it up in PS to see what it might look like :dunno doesnt look horrible..... certainly gives the bike a look of purpose.... you decide new zega old skool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dndfindley Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No! Those sidecases are for an adventure bike (think dual purpose), not a sport touring. Just no - please no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcsp Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 May look "ok" on the matte gray bike, but not so much on the red. I'd personally still go with the factory cases. After all this is an SST, not an Adv. bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatpasta Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 if I end up with one of these, it's going to be an ADV bike since i dont have one at the moment (well.... the 525 doesn't really count). I got so used to my 1150GS's practicality and storage that I can't ever go back to not having a bike like that. The FJR is great and everything but I want the suspension travel back....as well as the big storage. If the FJR boxes mount up to the FJ, I may just because I have very little spare time go with those but I'd love to have some real storage on this thing....may have to reinforce the subframe though as I've been known to put things on the back of my bike like refrigerators and 50" TV's P-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatpasta Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 FYI guys, I got a reply from Touratech. At this time they aren't planning on making mounts for the FJ, but you can get the "hoops" and fab the rest... here's the email I got from them Hi AJ, I think the FJ09 looks pretty awesome, and would look really good with a set of Zega Pro panniers! Unfortunately, I do not know and haven't heard if Germany will be making pannier racks for it. I'd say keep you bags though- there is always the option of getting some racks custom built. We sell the "loops" separate in mild steel, so a good fabricator should be able to make them mount to any bike. They are here: http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/1808/PN-051-0300/Pannier-Frame-one-piece- 18mm Thanks for your inquiry. Happy New Year! Cheers- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedavis Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 FWIW, I agree with you and would prefer top loading luggage. The stock side loaders look sportier but they aren't as practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate the engineering that went into them for sure - they're neat boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudolf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I don't see what we won't be able to mount panniers to the new FJ once sidecase/pannier frames are officially available for the bike. We use H&B lock-it pannier frames for our Globescout kits, and depending on how different the tailsections are between the FZ and the FJ, a set of racks may be out there already? Can anyone confirm the two are different (I haven't seen an fj-09 in person yet). Regarding panniers, have you seen our Globescout World Class Panniers? We will be more helpful to work with you on fitment than some others: Globescout Also, we are working on adding new product to our site for the new FJ-09, though we are waiting for most of our aftermarket vendors and suppliers. For now we are just finishing up our listings for the OEM accessories: FJ-09 Items Please PM me if you have any questions. Thank you, -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatpasta Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Those globe scout panniers look nearly identical to the Touratech Zega Pro's....either way they look REALLY nice. I love the anchors on top that expand your overall, real world storage by huge margins....really nice boxes and way cheaper than TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatpasta Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I need to say that we have not looked back at all. If you find our thread in the vendors' section in ADVrider, you'll find that we have an enormous amount of positive feedback from many happy customers. yeah one thing about the ADV crowd.... they won't blow sunshine up your ass....

I wonder if my wife will let me get a set for the FJ.....hold on wait I dont have an FJ yet. I still have to do the groveling in order to get the new bike, THEN the exhaust....and shock and panniers.... Damm I have a lot of backrubs and dishes to do in the next few months ;-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ill eventually move it and post a linkNo problem at all and completely understandable. I was originally planning to post in a vendors section, however without one this was a good live topic to jump into. I will let this thread run it's course and will only reply back if needed.
