Buffalo Sports Panniers vs. Expanding Panniers (both soft)
Following on from AlpineStarHero's thread (the guy who offers you a GTA session on xboxlive and then sacks it off without telling you
 ) just wondering if the buffalo expanding panniers would fit sv1000 without fowling the exhaust? The sports panniers are 33 litres combined which isn't much but a lot more stylish, whereas the expanding big ones are 58 litres = mucho storage space for bottles of port, guns, drugs, maybe even some souveneirs... Does anyone have any experience with either/both? Already got a buffalo tankbag and I'm impressed with the quality. Just need to sort out my yorkshire topbox to fit a bit better and I'll be set for all bike trips forever... Gonna look at booking a dover-calais ferry for middle of april and see where I end up

Re: Buffalo Sports Panniers vs. Expanding Panniers (both soft)
Well I thought I had the buffalo sport but mine expand..
You have me confused now. I had mine fitted to a pointy with a high level can no problem so think yours should be well clear. |

Re: Buffalo Sports Panniers vs. Expanding Panniers (both soft)
Mine look like the sport but expand...weird.
Either way, I dont think you would have a problem with them on your exhaust. I used to put an old towel under mine where it sat right over the exhaust just to stop the can from getting scratched. |

Re: Buffalo Sports Panniers vs. Expanding Panniers (both soft)
The quality of them is pretty good as are the prices.
I use mine for work sometimes too (when I know its not going to be raining  ) and can easily fit all my work clothes, boots, laptop etc in without a struggle.

It's the way Suzukis are designed to roll:
9 day trip  Two week trip:  Just keep the tank bag small, a useful headrest for motorways and job jobbed. Soft Panniers FTL:
