All of my SW Motech order finally came in: SLC Side racks and 2 carrier plates. I also got a set of Giant Loop MotoTrekk panniers, 25 liters each, 2 of their possibles pouches (3.5 liters each), and 2 OBR-ADV 2 liter fuel bottle holders. It is a perfect setup for me.
The panniers strapto the side plates like they were made for them, the plates themselves are quick release - one of the pics below shows where the lever is, and the bags are perfect. 57 liters for cargo and gear as well as a gallon of gas. Add in my 26 liter SW Motech bag and I’m over 80 liters of space. I can tour indefinitely with that.
You can see that there is plenty of clearance for the exhaust, though you do have to be careful with straps. It was so safe that I guess I thought I needed to add 2 liters of gasoline on that side to even the karma out.
all in all a great set up for me. Very happy with it.
