These are truly excellent soft panniers. I originally chose them because of the rear mounting options. I’m riding the new BMW F 450 GS, and with the stock exhaust there’s plenty of clearance. I didn’t need the Inferno heat shield.
I initially mounted the bags too high and too far forward on my bike, which unfortunately caused a small scuff on the right side panel. That wasn’t the bags’ fault, though - it was simply my mistake during installation. One thing to pay attention to is the plastic piece that holds the new clips, as it needs to be positioned correctly.
I rode from Roskilde to Bornholm with the bags fully loaded and could barely tell they were there. The only noticeable difference was the extra weight. They sit incredibly well and remain very stable, even over long distances.
I’m extremely happy with them. My plan is to add a 20L Tornado duffel to the system for better organization and to make it easier to carry everything into hotels.
