Me too but it would have to be soon, off on a very badly planned trip in a month :eek3::clap:

Oooh and in response to the thread I have a set of MM panniers, a large 40 something and a 37l (I think) and personally I think they are too big for my trip and I am going two up. I would have preferred to have gotten the medium and small panniers, easier for filtering but mainly because I think the less room you have the less you can pack.

I have 45 alu panniers and use them if I am going for long distance trips.
I have Ortlieb bag and I take my topcase and Ortlieb bag if I don't put panniers on.

Personally I would choose 45 L again as you don't have to load them all and it is better to have large ones to not regret when you need them large !

When you have panniers, you keep the center of wight down. With Ortlieb bag, topcase, thing attached on panniers takes the center higher.
