Welcome to STAHLKOFFER Panniers
Stop Press
Stahlkoffer has recently moved to larger, more spacious premises in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
We can now be found at Unit 1 Gibbs Road, Lye, Stourbridge DY9 8ER.
In an age when everything seems to be produced abroad we are pleased to say everything we manufacture is "MADE IN ENGLAND".
If you click on the GALLERIES section of the website, then click STAHLKOFFER you will see some photos of the new premises. If you are ever in the vicinity just pop-in.
A hot cup of tea is always available.

Stahlkoffer is also currently working on new designs for panniers & top-boxes for the season 2011. Our complete new product range will be launched at the forthcoming Birmingham Bike Show in November. We will be on Stand E3 in the ESCAPE ZONE.
Come & pay us a visit. We promise you won't be disappointed!
My name is Bernie Brinkmann & I am the MD of STAHLKOFFER Ltd. I have always owned BMW's & ride up to 20,000 miles a year in the UK & throughout Europe. It was on one of my many European travels that I realized how important well-designed, strong, practical water/dust proof motorcycle luggage needs to be.
STAHLKOFFER are manufactured in Birmingham from top quality 2mm aluminium and are professionally TIG welded. They also come complete with frames (Stainless Steel Optional) which locate straight on to the existing manufacturers mountings

I was not happy with the design of BMW panniers (particularly the massive storage space loss with the near-side pannier having to accommodate the exhaust pipe). So I designed aluminium panniers and frames for the R1200GS/R1150GS/R1100GS & R850. By increasing the width of the near-side pannier frame the pannier now hangs on to the frame and sits “proud” of the exhaust pipe, thus giving the owner a “full pannier”.
I also realized that when traveling you might want to get something out of the top-box or panniers so the design is such that the lids can be simply & quickly unlocked & removed – even if camping-gear etc is already strapped to the lids.
The pannier frames have been so designed that they utilise the existing location points on the BMW frame. & pannier fitting could not be simpler & takes only minutes.
