Hi Sanderd, thanks for the picture…
That looks really nice  nice job mate
I see you went for the same panniers I’m going to buy! They look much better than the thin Zega rubbish from Touratech.
i have some questions about product codes...
One thing I’ve been having a hard time finding is a “good” racking system. I looked at the site you brought from, is this the correct product number for the rack ?? it doesn’t look as deep
Product number: OTR-KT-XT-660
Price: 219.00 Euro
Reason I ask is all the stuff on this site is for the XT-660
Also that page says….. Strong rear rack with an extra order. Do you have the product code for rear rack ?
My last question is, do you have the product code for the fitting kit for the panniers ? I can’t seem to find them
Thanks in advance
Shaun

nice job Sanderd
what tyres do you have on your TTR?
they look rather off-road orientated, did you use them on roads too?
how long do they last?
I am thinking of the right tyres for touring europe and morocco, on my TT600RE.
I like the Metzeler Karo, but worried that they wouldn't last long, if riding on tarmack.
also considering the Metzeler tourances, wich are rather road orientated but people say they behave well on off-road trail and small stones.
difficult to find the right compromise i guess...

Agreed, that is a very tidy looking bike: you asked for questions (and you are getting them!), so how do you find the TTR for oil consumption when riding hard and/or in hot weather, and how many miles/km have you got on the clock?
Cheers,
(makes a change from looking at pics of XTs in this forum!!  )
