Ross Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Good job the panniers and frame are removable!! Going to everntually invest in some smaller givi trekker cases. I can see these getting smashed off Quote
Gerontious Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Wider, much wider is perfectly normal for a GS. Corned beef cans on scaffolding. Bike like yours... If close fitting OE panniers aren't available, I would be using soft panniers, with a lockable top box for valuables. Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I'd go tankbag and tail pack and maybe soft panniers....I still haven't unloaded the bike from last weekend Quote
onesea Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Rucksack and a tail pack ... sorted .Urg not for me:1) They pull and rattle and on long ride that can be tiering.2) If you do have an off will whats in it increase the chance of damage to back, even a tin of baked beans I try and avoid rucksacks for this reason...

S-Westerly Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Kriega rucksack with OEM panniers which require no scaffolding to attach and are the same width overall as the handlebars so no real difference filtering. Quote

TimR Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Good job the panniers and frame are removable!! Going to everntually invest in some smaller givi trekker cases. I can see these getting smashed off Ā be prepared for a huge difference in straight line stability especially at motorway speeds or in turbulent air ie behind large vehicles .That wind resistance of large panniers will normally give some wobbling .

Ross Posted July 13, 2019 Author Posted July 13, 2019 I am going to invest in some slimmer givi trekker panniers the ones I have in the picture and bloody massive!! But they were cheap on eBay and a bit of a get me out of jail card...[mention]dynax[/mention] euro trip next year hopefully have slimmer panniers and more long road trip experience by then. Ive been riding a bike on and off for 8 years but never toured.I need to get a tank bag too at some point Quote
Gerontious Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 No need for panniers or a tank bag. for a week away, staying at a hotel or B&B without a passenger.all you need is a supply of clean underwear. a change or two of clothing for 'off the bike' and a few other bits and pieces. Shoved into a dry-bag and strapped to the back seat.This is what Im using this year.. next year I will up the ante to panniers as I will very likely be camping. maybe.Ā Quote
Ross Posted July 18, 2019 Author Posted July 18, 2019 Yeah Iām camping so am strapping a dry bag across the top of the panniers which contains my sleeping bag, tent, inflatable roll mat. Then panniers for shoes clothes, and maintence stuff Quote
