X Country Luggage

[Seamaster]

What luggage/panniers/topbox do you use, do you have any pictures you can show me?

Edit: how on earth did I miss "peaks" thread on this subject!

I killed this thread off before it started last time around , I need soft luggage for my X Country, and would rather not go to the expense of additional frames to attach the luggage to. Have you got any pictures or suggestions. Thanks

giant loop might be your best bet if you are looking at carrying luggage for trips away as it straps securely to the bike and carries weight lower than a duffel on the seat behind the rider

Other options:

Kriega US bags are good. The tank harness works well.

Wolfman do a harness that allows a bag on each side of the seat and another behind the rider. The Kriega US bags also work with this harness.

I use Dirt Bagz, available direct from the States. Great company to deal with, quick service and value for money

Otherwise just a roll bag on the back ... it'll do me a two week tour

I think for the use I will be giving them these will be just right, a picture of the frame would be usefull. Thanks

Need to note that they only fit on the early bikes with bolt on rear footrests, which you have to remove. Could be modified to fit the later bikes using clips round the footrest mounting and altering the tubing of the frames to suit.

Hallo
it is not neccessary to remove the rear footrests. You only need some washers to match the thickness of the brackets at the lower bolts of the footrests.
