I knew what it was immediately and yes, that extra long strap went and destroyed itself, fortunately not the bike, creating a nice hole in the top where the strap once resided. As I was accelerating I felt it, a big jerk indicative of a foreign object inserting itself into the drive train somewhere, and my heart sank. In the morning i installed the bags quickly and set off on the next adventure. Removed them for a short nights sleep to ride another 350 the following day. I think GL didn’t take into consideration rider fatigue and here’s why.Īfter riding 400 miles, the bags were great. It’s the center magnetic strap that if you don’t pay attention to, or you get distracted when installing the bags you’re in for trouble, it’s very long and has potential to go where you don’t want it. The bags have all black straps, a lot of them, and one of them is critical. I purchased to of these packs and on the inaugural trip I destroyed one, in the sense it will never be waterproof again. Here’s the problem, and I blame myself entirely on my lack of attention to detail. Well at first I thought what a great setup, turns out I was half right. Best purchase I have made for my bike yet. I can never go back to hard paniers after using these. I am also glad to know that they will work with the Possibilities pouch if I ever need to bring any extra gear with me. With these amazing soft bags I am prepared to go anywhere, feeling reassured that I have room for all my tools in case theirs is a need for them. They fit my Big Agnes bike packing tent inside with plenty of room to spare for all my gear and clothes. They don’t move around even when taking a tight corner. This makes it so much easier to bring the paniers into the tent with me. They have easy carrying straps and handles, for the times when you are taking them off the bike. Even with ought the quick release mounts they are easy to mount on my panier racks. Now I don’t need to get any extra dry bags for my non waterproof gear. I have been totally impressed with both their storage capacity and their waterproof material. I purchased the Motto Trekk soft paniers for an upcoming motorcycle camping trip. We also recommend installing our optional Hot Springs Heat Shield™ to prevent the panniers or side panels from making direct contact with exhaust components. Giant Loop recommends using Vinyl Protective Film where panniers make direct contact with body panels and plastics to protect surfaces against scuffing or marks.

Their universal design also makes them compatible with almost any motorcycle side luggage racks-including dual sport, adventure touring, naked, standard, sport touring, scrambler, and V-twin motorcycles. When used with our GL Pannier Mounts, the MotoTrekk Panniers become a quick-release, quick-mount, lockable soft luggage system. In addition, a quick-release magnetic buckle allows the pannier to hang from the top of the rack, making the mounting and dismounting process easier.
