    I just purchased a 75 R90/6 and I'm trying to identify some accessories...

    Any idea what make of panniers and hard case these are? I'm trying to determine if I can find replacement parts (latches and hinges for them).

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Those would be Wixom's on the side, not sure about the top. Beautiful bike by the way, though I'm partial to black 90/6's with wixoms as that is my current setup.

    Thanks for identifying the wixoms, with the brand I was able to find a source for the latches. Now i just need to identify the top case to find parts for it.

    That is a nice looking set up, any chance of a few more photos?

    Here you go -- it's a 75 R90/6 with a mid-80's (I think) Dnepr sidecar

    That's a Dnepr sidecar alright. When compared to a Ural, the Dnepr body is slightly smaller. The fender and wheel is definitely Dnepr.
