Went 6 months on a trip across Europe and Morocco with really crappy (read cheap!) soft pannniers - no problem at all - hint: buy a soldering protector pad from B&Q (or similar) and fix it on your rack by the exhaust, hey presto, no scorch marks and your panniers are fully protected! Only a couple of quid too! BTW, another tip - we didn't use bungees but straps with buckles to tighten, then you don't need to worry about it pinging off and catching you a bit unawares!
