Pannier Latch

bigfoot · May 14, 2015

I've broken the right hand pannier latch and need to get a replacement. Does anyone have a right hand one free or need a left hand one?

If I can buy a right hand side from someone here great otherwise I'll buy the pair from Ducati (they only come as a pair) and would like to sell the un-needed left.

Cheers

How did you break it, did you pull too hard or hit something while riding?

I hit the corner of my house while pushing the bike. I don't usually have them on so forgot about the need to swing a little wider. Ducati want Â£110 ($170) for a pair and only sell in pairs.

Once they are properly lubed, they are easy to remove and replace. Just remember that they automatically lock on to the bike. To remove them you must use the key.

yup I know that. So when you removed them what did you cover the holes with, original bolts?

Hi John,

I did the same think in a car park on a post, DOH! Stupid money for a new one. I tried to araldite it, they are easy to get off and strip down. It lasted 1 ride, not good. Please B was to get a small strip if metal/steel, most hardware stores sell these, drill 2 holes to match the bolts that hold the latch onto the pannier. Get slightly longer bolts and clamp the latch to the pannier. It works perfectly. I used steel and painted it black and you can barely see it.

This of course assumes the latch is just broken in 2 and not irrcoverably smashed.
