Griso Luggage

[andyals]

Hi
Anyone heard of Tekno luggage.
I just bought a set of panniers for my Griso.
They appear to be identical to the official Guzzi items, right down to their so called patented "fast click" locking system.
Can't find any info on them.
Just curious.

I'm pretty sure that the 'Factory' bags are made by the same company. They AREN'T though identical. The Tekno bags will fit with the Termi pipe whereas the factory bags won't. It may also be true that other 'Upswept' pipes won't fit with the factory bags either.

I had a set of Teknos I bought for my, now Chuck's, Scura. They fit straight onto the G racks and allow fittment of the Termi so I'm happy.

Now it's interesting you say that.
I have the Termignoni fitted to my bike and one of my concerns was the panniers fouling it, but they don't.
There's a decent amount of clearance.
So in the end, without intending too, I've ended up buying the best set up for my bike.

I searched for these online, with no luck. Are they still available as new items? Where did you get them?

Thanks,

I'd be interested to know that too. I was lead to believe they were out of production but if Andy has just managed to purchase some then either they must be NOS or they are making 'em again, (Or maybe never stopped??)

I just got them on ebay.
A dealer had taken them off a Griso he'd taken in part exchange.
I paid £99 and was the only bidder.
I have to say, the quality seems good.
I can see now there are subtle differences between these and the official Guzzi items.
They're a slightly different shape.
I can confirm that there is plenty of clearance for the Termig, which a previous poster say's is not the case with the official panniers.
I posted here for more info as I cannot find any info on them.
It's like the company that produces them never existed.

Make sure that anything you put in them goes into a plastic bag first.

The inside of these bags is plastic lined

I have the original bags and the termi can with no problem, ample clearence by a long way!

Really? That's weird . There was absolutely no way in the world that the bags would fit on my 8V with the Termi. Since the rest of the bodywork/frame package is essentially the same for both 2VPC and 4VPC models and the pipe is the same, (Or as close as dammit the same externally and mounting wise.) I can't see how this is so?? Can you post a pic of your set up? Perhaps I'd done something wrong or stupid! Wouldn't be the first time!!!
