XL600 racks and panniers: H&B, AndyStrapz...
Hi everybody!
As a (new) proud owner of an Honda XL 600 LM (just bought it last Sunday!) I'm starting to think about some way of carrying my stuff around the world and all that.
My idea is to carry soft luggage, since I want to travel as light as possible, so that would probably mean some saddlebags (maybe Expedition panniers from Andy Strapz, or Touratech ZegaFlex) and some kind of bag attached to the back of the seat. Pretty much like everyone around I guess.
The thing is that I would need some racks to keep everything out of the reach of the exhaust, and the only racks made for this machine are the Hepco and Becker.
Has anyone tried them on? Do they fit properly on the bike? I heard something about they not fitting or something like that, and before I spend 180 € on them, I'd rather be sure they will fit...hehehe!!
I think Orrin travelled on this bike with H&B racks, so I'd love to hear some advice. It would much appreciated.
By the way, AndyStrapz Expedition Panniers, Touratech Zega Flex or something else??
Thank a lot guys!
