Well, ordered the narrow panniers in black. Had a message back from Ian saying they are not in stock and it may be a few weeks before they arrive. Not normally an issue but I had a short trip to Nurburg arranged, after checking dates Ian says, " don't worry, I'll send you a set on loan until yours arrive!"
New silver panniers arrive next day, fitting frames was a a bit fiddly due to lack of room between end can and rear foot peg frame, but not a huge issue.
Panniers are soldily built, and "roomy", compared to the previous Nolans on my KTM 1290. Had an issue with key locking on one side, which Ian sorted out very quickly.
Had a super tour to Nurburg and surronding area... panniers worked well!
Had a lift around Nurburgring in a breathed on merc a class by Frank, German bloke staying at same hotel, (this has nothing to do with the panniers but was faster/quicker/(proper 9mins 16seconds despite yellows on 2 corners for crash recovery) I have ever been on any bike on any track day I did on any circuit, and I am still recovering from the experience 5 days later!
)So, panniers work well, strong and roomy, very good value. Only slight issue is the lid retaining wire straps/stays are a bit weedy so will be replacing those with something a bit sturdier
My black panniers were waiting for me on my return, quality stuff and look great!
