Hi I'm looking at buying an 8th Gen but would like one with OEM panniers. This limits my options as most of the bikes I can find have higher mileage than I would like.
Are there any after market panniers that attach in the same way as the OEM panniers? I.e. without the need for an additional rack/frame arrangement.
Sadly No you will need the scaffolding for aftermarket stuff.
A second had set goes for around £500

Just curious how many miles is more than you would like?
The oem side cases on the gen 8 are awesome how well they integrate with the bike and don't require any ugly additional frame for them. I see them for sale on ebay every now and then in Europe, have you checked that out yet?
Just saw a Set of OEM site cases in red on CR in thr Wilmington area https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mpo/d/wilmington-honda-vfr800m-panniers/7555850760.html

Those look to be for gen 6 not gen 8
I would not know as mine is a 4th gen.
Agree with VifferJ, Definetly not 8gen. Missing the two upper moulded mounting hooks.

I'm in the UK so I'll keep an eye out on ebay. I'm looking for a bike with up to 15k on the clocks. I'll be doing roughly 10k a year so that would mean the valve clearance checks would need doing after the 1st year of owning it.
I know these bikes are supposed to go on for a long time, but a low mileage bike with the OEM panniers is the plan. Then I can rack the miles up over the next few years.
