My trusty 12 year old Frank Thomas soft side panniers finally gave up the ghost this evening whilst trying to work out the best way to fit them to my bike
So, I'm in the market for a new set of some description, but need help narrowing down the vast assortment of available options.
(I already have the plastic mounts for the BMW Varo panniers on the bike)
I'm looking to be using the bike mainly for weekend trips and the yearly jaunt to Europe, green lanes at some point, i.e. mild off-roading. (I worry the Vario panniers are not up to the mild off-road abuse?????)
A trip to Morocco is also on the cards within the next 5 years
My mate Palerider has bought the all singing all dancing BMW alu panniers for his GSA, not sure I can warrant the expense at the moment
I've got some Kriega 20 and 2x10ltr soft packs. Should I jut invest in some soft panniers to compliment these, or should, considering my plans, be looking at something more substantial?

)), will I have issues with heat transfer between exhaust and contents of pannier?
