Recommended Panniers...

[Phil]

I've got older Oxford Lifetime panniers and they dont sit too well on the back to be honest due to the share of the rear panels and grab rails. Maybe it was because they were extended out, but the drooped down like spaniels ears. They did stay on though which over Romania's roads was an achievement. Maybe later versions (x60?) which look deeper would work better.

I think the Blaze panniers would do the trick, but I cant fit the metalwork as the adjusters for the Ohlins rear shock are in the way. http://www.motohaus.com/acatalog/SW_Mote..._Sets.html







Before I got the topbox I just strapped a 60l kit bag to the back seat. The straps go around the grab rails. A piece of plywood in the bottom of the bag acts as a solid base and it sits nicely on top of the grab rails. A bungy from the bag under the rear mudguard fittings stopped it sliding forward. Its a nice narrow solution for easy filtering and takes less time to put on than panniers.
