Currently in Manauga, Nicaragua and am making my way to Tierra del Fuego. My advice is not to go cheap on panniers. Buy Happy Trails or Jesse bags and you will thank yourself so many times on the trip. I left with the stock bmw plastic side cases and I can not tell you how bad they suck. Trying to close them is such a challenge and you always have to worry about them popping open as you ride. The plastic tabs that hold them on break off and there is not much you can do.
