Mandirana duck panniers for early monsters

Davy · 18-06-2020, 08:31 PM

These came with my bike a 94 M900 when I bought it from this forum but I’ve never had them mounted. I thought I’d use them but no. So they have to go. Apparently these were made by the mandirana duck (spelling)company especially for the monster. They are mix of material with a hard plastic inner and are sort of expandable briefcase type of thing with a shoulder strap and a carrying handle they would be great for either touring or commuting and are fully lockable on the bike or when carrying them about. I can’t post pics unfortunately but maybe someone could help i could email pics.

I need some new panniers... How much are you asking Davy?

Davy · 20-06-2020, 11:44 AM

Haven’t a clue what they are worth make me an offer.

Davy · 20-06-2020, 12:23 PM

Come to think of it I’ve still got that Ducati performance tankbag in the bike pic for sale I’ve never used that either.

Davy · 20-06-2020, 09:41 PM

Panniers Sold....but if anyone wants a Ducati performance tank bag in excellent condition as in pic let me know.

Mr Gazza · 21-06-2020, 09:50 AM

Thanks Davy. I think I will forever know them as my Gucci bags..

Don't forget to send me the bill.

Good luck with the tank bag sale.

Davy · 21-06-2020, 10:41 AM

Gucci �� I’ll get them posted and then we can sort things out. Cheers.

There goes Gazza on his very rare 900Sie City!

Mr Gazza · 04-07-2020, 04:55 PM

You tickled me with your suggestion of a M900Sie City Darren. But I think M900Sie Executive would be more fitting especially as I am the CEO of Gazza Holdings PLC.

They fit very neatly and will be okay for light (executive) luggage, much smarter than my high mileage throw-overs.

Not sure of the direction the bike is going now with it's Gucci bags, as I had always thought of it as my Faberge egg?

A nice touch I hadn't realised the Mandarina Ducks have is the material matched to the seat. They should be good for filtering too, I clouted a car with the others in London!

Thanks Davy..

Darren69 · 04-07-2020, 07:17 PM

Yea, you just need to repaint the bike navy blue and fit some higher bars and a big perspex screen. Just the job for cruising the streets of Norwich. Just what every high power exec needs?

Seriously though do they look good. Proper job!

Davy · 04-07-2020, 07:21 PM

No worries Gary. Looking at the pic a few posts above with them on my bike (before I bought it I must add)they look like they are expandable?

Mr Gazza · 04-07-2020, 07:42 PM

They certainly do look expanded in that picture but I can't see how they would expand by looking at them, unless I'm missing something. (obviously I am.) Maybe they are simply just stuffed in the picture?

I know that the tail pack I bought with no instructions, confounded me until I contacted the seller and he pointed me to a concealed zip which revealed a whole new box of tricks the pack would do.

Has anyone got a set of these that expands? If so how, or do you just keep ramming it in?
