A pannier is a basket, bag, or similar container, possibly large, and carried either in pairs slung over the back of a beast of burden, or attached to a bicycle or motorcycle.
Modern touring bicycle with panniers
Traditional panniers for animal transport are typically made of wicker, while bicycle panniers are usually of nylon or other synthetic fabric. Motorcycle panniers may be hard-sided metal containers with lids, or made of fabric.

Not wishing, or willing, to pay the many hundreds of pounds for new panniers and frames I sourced a set from a '93 LT that was being broken for spares (or 'parted-out' as I think it is referred to in US-speak).
The panniers were in a bit of a state, especially the left one which had a number of scratches and dings on the painted lid.
Turn the completed panniers upside down (use cloths here to protect the paint)and knock the two hinges back into place with a small hammer.
