SW-Motech fore-mounted pannier racks

Got to admit I was a bit sceptical at first, but now they're on I'm very
impressed.

The 5 Givis give a total capacity of 212 litres, and carrying the weight
lower down is certainly preferable to having a heavy tank bag.

Width wise it's the same as the rear , so no problems there, and it's
just like riding behind a largeish fairing; not much different to the
SOBoxer RT jobbie.

Italy here I come!

 

Ok, which one's got the sink in?

 

**** Italy. You could do Timbuktu to Vladivostok with less gear.

 

Can you turn the front with those things on...

 

They look really badly photoshopped.

 

Doesn't impede lock at all; clever these Germans

 

I used to do similar on my Tig for 2-up 2 week trips, only with soft
panniers strapped to the crashbars. It does work very well indeed.

 

The best bit will be when he tries to remember what's in each box and
ends up having to empty 212 litres of junk out when it's pissing with
rain.

I've just been packing my panniers for this weekend and it's amazing how
much space you've got when you aren't having to cope with sub zero
temperatures.

I wouldn't have thought Horse uses makeup.

Do you realise the crap she'd pack if I had a similar setup on my K12

I used to have small cube shaped soft bags that fitted under the tank bag
and they worked well

One can but hope.

 

Prolly.

Either way my bolting on is complete and you can have your 18mm ring
spanner back now

 

I guess you don't have to worry about dropping the bike any more.

 

I remember when I took SWMBO on her first motorcycle holiday. On a 250
Morini, with camping gear, for a three week trip to France. I
rendezvoused with her at the Festival Interceltique at Lorient, so
before she went off there with her folkie mates I presented her with one
Haggerty Remp GRP (I think) pannier to fill with her stuff. So two small
panniers, even smaller 'Swagman' tank panniers, a tank bag, and then a
tent, air beds and sleeping bags strapped precariously on the rear rack.
Unfortunately I can't find a photo of the poor wee vee fully loaded up.

Kinell' ..... are you starting up a removals firm ?

 

That's a hell of a sloping drive you've got there.

 

WTF! first sidewind you are in the hedge...

 

It does..

 

I've been informed that photoshop wasn't involved.

 

I was wondering wtf you were on about until I realised that I'd had to
rotate it to print it. Oops.

Drive orientation now restored.
