Hard cases for hard riding: T7 owners looking for hardshell luggage will want to give GlobeScout’s 2022 Xpan+ Aluminum Side Cases ($1,000/$1,200, natural/black) a close look. No Ténéré? No worries—GlobeScout USA makes luggage and other accessories for other popular motorcycles.
Built from a tough aluminum-magnesium alloy, these panniers feature a dual-seal lid that keeps out water, dust, mud, and whatever else you might encounter in the wilds. Double-lid hinges allow access from either side, with travel limited by tethers. Inside are a combined 66 liters of storage space, 35 in the left pannier and 31 in the right-hand box.
The pannier package includes a set of replaceable UV-resistant nylon corner protectors. Four locks are required for two panniers ($50); hang these bags on your Yamaha using GlobeScout’s Ténéré 700 rack set ($350), which is welded up from 18mm stainless tubing and built to fit close to the bike.
So, you’ve got the T7 panniers full, and there’s still a small pile of must-haves on the garage floor. Maybe it’s time to fit GlobeScout’s Ténéré 700 luggage rack ($200), so you can throw that surplus into an Xpan+ aluminum top case. Crafted from an anodized alloy, the rack kit includes stainless steel hardware and attachment points for the top case.
Basically a pannier in a different shape, the Xpan+ top cases have the same dual hinges, tethers, and soft, compressible liners to keep the interior space free of dirt and water. They’re shipped with four replaceable corner protectors and require two lock cylinders ($25). Choose your cargo volume from 27-, 40-, and 47-liter sizes in natural or black ($400 – $500).
Your passengers will be more comfortable if they have a solid hold on the bike, especially when the pavement ends and the bumps begin. GlobeScout’s passenger handles ($100) for the Ténéré 700 may be just what a passenger’s hands are looking for. The handles and included mounting hardware are all made of stainless steel for low maintenance and good looks.
