Himalayan luggage

Bargain too…Bought these for the Magadan soft luggage.
They fit a treat.
Managed to grab a bargain on Facebook Marketplace for a slightly used set of Magadan Mark 2s.
I use the RE pannier frames and the right-hand pannier came a bit close to the exhaust for my liking, so a couple of cheap heat shields from Rhinowalk have been added for reassurance as much as anything.
Panniers secured with Rockstraps.
Decent photos to follow.

I have now got around to putting Advebture Spec’s Magadan panniers onto my Himalayan.
They look OK.
Because the little bike is quite narrow across its rear, the Velcro straps that link the two bags together are a bit too long but the Velcro can be pulled across to shorten them.
The rearmost link strap, I ran beneath the rear top-box plate. The forward strap sits on the pillion seat but I think it’s better run beneath it.
I think there will be enough clearance between the end of the exhaust and the off-side pannier to prevent it burning or getting too hot.
I now only need to work out how to hold the bags onto the frames at the bottom, to stop them maybe flapping about in the awesome slip stream. I did buy some cinch straps with the bags, which might well work pretty well.
I’ll fiddle around with that, when I have fitted the new header pipe and end can.
Now that I have the inner bags, I’ll probably just leave the Magadans on, just pulling the inner bags out, when not not in use. I don’t think the added wind resistance will make much difference.
What I have though bought is two security cables to wrap around the bags, when they have kit it them. That’s about as much as you can hope for.

I stuffed the bags out with some Rukka motorcycling suit trousers, just to see what they looked like.
he bags need a bit of pulling around a bit but, they are near enough OK.

Not luggage per-se, but the small Enduristan tank bag works well.
Having now used Adventure Spec’s Magadan throw over bags, I am very pleased with them.
I was riding through some heavy rain today, but not a came in. I had though taken out some ‘insurance’ by packing my kit into Blacks’ very good rucksack liners.
