R1200GS Luggage

Hi,

Looking at fitting either Jesse or Touratech Special boxes to my bike along with an after market exhaust.

Any advice regarding problems with fitting an exhaust with the boxes would be appreciated. Manufacturer of exhaust undecided.

Thanks
Darren

Metal Mule

I've just taken reciept of a pair of 38 litre side panniers. Only got them delivered today so will let you know how it goes. I also ordered the Metal Mule can (made by Scorpion) which is much slimmer than the standard GS 1200 (Adventure) one. With the new can you can fit 2 x 38 litre without being wider than the bike. I'm impressed with the finish and quality so far - Time (and tumbles) will prove the how good they really are.

Have a Look at these , true RTW capabilities , no Rivvets , No Glue.
Double welded for durability , and strength.
The best pannier on the market , and NOT the most expensive

Width

What is the width of the Metal Mules ?

Are they evenly spaced on both sides ?

Any fitting problems ?

Thanks
