Oxford Tailpack

Hi all, I am thinking of buying the Oxford Sport Deluxe Tailpack has anyone got one and will it fit on my XT with my touratech rack? Bit worried about setting fire to it on the exhaust. Don't really want to splash out on hard luggage at the moment.

Is anyone out there???

Hello everybody!!!! Does anyone have an idea about this????? Was also thinking of the Baglux (bagster) tank cover and then fiting one of their tank bags. Does anyone use tank bags I am a bit worried the shape of the XT's tank is not suited to tankbags??

Sorry,

Can't comment on specifics to your bike but I like the quality / value of the Oxford stuff. I have Oxford "Lifetime" luggage I use on my road-bike. Sports panniers, tail-pack and tank bag. They are easy to fit, with lots of straps, lashing points. I use a cargo net over the tail pack just to be sure it doesn't wobble at silly speeds.

All I can suggest is taking your bike to somewhere that stocks what you want and trying it out.

I intend fitting soft luggage to my Dr. Zed for a couple of weeks in Morocco. I am going to make a lightweight frame just to make sure the pannier doesn't get close to the exhaust and to give me a low down fixing point.
