soft panniers - Page 3 - SV650.org

I've just got back from 3 days touring Devon/Cornwall with a pillion and Oxford Humpback Panniers

Plenty of room in them, even without expanding them, and didn't really notice they were there until triple figure speeds.

Oxford 1st time, infinity do a set which is very cheap for tailpack/panniers/tank bag, have had lots of use out of mine and they seem to be fine.

Word of warning, do not attempt to go over 100 (on a private road, natch) with the storm covers on, cos they explode into pieces in a comedy fashion.

The one for the tailpack survived, eh, a fair old bit more than 100 a wee while back. For about 200 miles

Tailpack and tank bag ones seem OK, the pannier ones though tend to billow quite badly, they seem to get a big pressure inside them which causes them to balloon up at 70+mph. On a probably unrelated note, that was just about the coldest day I have ever ridden in.
