Oh brilliant I have been looking at these myself for a while, so nice see some feedback on them.
My biggest question also is how does it work out without a rack on the exhaust side, most off road type bikes ( if not all) have high level exhaust. The Ortlieb info says that it must be not less than 100mm / 4in from exhaust, that's not that easy without a rack or stand-off frame of some sort.
My view is some minor metal work must be required, regardless of the ortlieb info, if only to prevent burn holes in your spare underpants !
I plan to go down this route for my next trip in a few weeks, so I'll go for this option unless I find something more suitable in the meantime.
