Hi there , I got in touch already :) if I use the BMW GS adventure adapter for the pannier plates are these as well quick release ? It looks like the adapter is screwed to the pannier rack permanently? Would be great to know and I intend to buy them for my triumph scrambler unit garage pannier rack with the bended pannier exhaust side as you mentioned .

Possible to get these decently fitted on a DDX without adding any additional brackets? (i.e. Perun moto). Thanks for the video

Hi Dork, I love watching your channel! I like your light weight luggage setup, but I was wondering if the Tillamook Dry Bag doubles as an impact absorption device when you are rear-ended because the brake/tail light appears to be covered? Seriously though, I picked up a 2019 CB500X (w/ Rally Raid Level 2) recently that is fitted out with Givi Dolomiti Trekker luggage. The 3 pieces weigh 37 pounds empty!!! (side boxes are 12 lbs each and the top box is 13 lbs) Great for durability but not so great when they weigh the bike down. It forces me to leave my "kitchen sink" home, lol. It also turns a fun lightweight "Adventure Bike" into a slow, wallowing pig. I am in search of ideas to get the weight down for multi-day camping with tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, chair, tarp, minimal cooking equipment and clothes. At least the Givi top box has to stay home, to be replaced by a lighter dry bag, to make it work. Maybe the rider could go on a diet too, but where is the fun in that?

Hey, good instructional video. I have one question: can i use these panniers on a honda cb500x with a givi pannierrack? What about the heat of the exhaust?

Will the Mojave work on an African twin?

Can you please make a video of fill up at a gas station, transport on top of your 4Runner on a trip and using it to fuel your 4Runner? Thank you.

Hello, is thus puncture resistant? Let's can it hold a branch puncture?

Can it be mounted on it's side? Looks like what I've been looking for 😊

Will this work on a DR650? I just read online. It does.

Hola ,tengo la de un galón,mi pregunta es si se pueden colocar dentro las pastillas potabilizadoras? Gracias

I’m hitting the Wyoming BDR in September and I have all my gear on a table for review and slow elimination. I revisit my gear every couple days and try to remove an item or two. It’s so easy to over pack, and I’m really focused on making this my lightest pack out yet. *Pro Tip* Motorcycle trips are a great resource to rid of your old bottom of the drawer underwear. Wear em and burn em so you’re not packing dirty gitch. Thanks for the continued entertainment Ben.

Shut up and take my money

I Am wondering if I should buy a 1 or 2 gallons bag, which one would you recomend the most

Hi there any chance to stick the Giant loop pannier mounts to a Triumph Scrambler 2024 , I ask for the pannier bag plate system . Like the solid construction for my camera equipment but as you know have the high muffler which comes with the scrambler . I have the new 2024 model XE..and have the Unit Garage rear rack ?

I have the Great Basin and use the pods a LOT for work. One thing that I feel might be a good addition is a set of simple straps that you could use to make a backpack. If they were simple enough (effectively just a set of straps for your arms plus a set of straps to go around the pods) it would be really handy for people (especially like myself) who might be going for a reasonable trek after riding somewhere and wish to carry their lunch or whatever on a short hike. If the strapping was long enough you'd be able to carry two pods or even more. I mean, I could probably design and make it myself, but it would be handy if Giant Loop made them with their knowledge and experience.

How about the new messenger ? Is there a work around ?

Any suggestions for 2 up?

Hi, thanks for the video! Love GiantLoop, I have the Armadillo Bag already and looking to buy the Cactus Canteen. I cannot find the right gravity filter and spout filter. Can you please point out which one, and where, to find it in either the UK or the EU? Many thanks!

Just received mounts. My MotoTrekk panniers attached just like you did in video, pretty simple. My concern is the metal slots that the straps go through seem like they will potentially wear through the straps on a bumpy road. The mounting plate is thin and as such creates a narrow edge that the strap attaches to. The weighted bag bounces up and down(ever so slightly) in the slot creating a wear spot on the straps. (You can tighten, but impossible to completely lock it down). Putting the top straps through top slots and over rack also helps, but doesn't hold the pannier perfectly stationary, thus wearing on the strap. I may permanently mount like in your other video. Although harder to swap between my bikes. but seems like the safer way.

So, if the bags are 'mostly empty' (i.e. only the legs have stuff in them) would you be able to easily fit a bag across the back like you can with standard panniers?

I'm coming in '25! Are there dates yet?

Well, I had fuel in mine for a little over a week (yes I read the disclaimers) and had a catastrophic failure of the bag when driving. It started to gush out fuel through the seams while I was driving. Extremely messy on the side of the highway. Definitely NOT rated to be used for fuel at all (regular O87, ethanol free). I'm now extremely hesitant to ever buy one of these again and use it to carry any kind of fuel.

I have a concern about tank bags. How are they when it comes to scratches? The rally, having a metal tank worries me to put any tank bag on top of it. Obviously, dirt and dust under it will cause scratches, but do you have to worry about the bag itself causing scuffs or scratches?

I need one! Is there anything under the harness to keep from scratching tanks?

Can I put gasoline in it?

Good overview. Honestly, I think the security factor of hard boxes is overrated and overemphasized (and I do own a set, for extended highway touring). They all have fairly cheesy locks that are picked easily enough, but Mr. Thief is bringing a big pry-bar and popping the latches off anyway. I consider them secure _enough_ to walk away for lunch or a hike, but I don't ever leave stuff in them overnight. In fact, I leave the latches *open* at night because I don't want someone prying them open just to have a peek (and destroying them in the process). I recommend that practice if you leave luggage of any kind mounted on the bike. It's similar to the San Francisco strategy of leaving your trunk open, to avoid having your window smashed. Sad state of affairs, but what can you do but take reasonable precautions?

Are the main Compartments Lockable? As I'm looking to buy these and shipping my bike interstate and would like no one to access them while in transit- If not would I just run a security cable with a padlock around them? Cheers

Doooooork!

I am just about to use this bag, for the first time, on my Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer for a long adventure of Europe :-) .....little bit concerned about the exhaust side ! - but HUGE storage - would you recommend using the heat shield ?

I miss Ben. Dork in the Road is the only reason I know about GL in the first place.

Please do NOT call it entry level... So fucking tired of the expression

Got a set for my tenere, they're great!

You don’t need sidecarrier for Honda XL Transalp 750 for Siskiyou panniers. You Even don’t need exhaust protection. Siskiyou fit perfect.😎👍

Hi What a great product how can I get hold of one I live in Scotland Isle of Skye

Thanks about your videos, are vere instructive and is easier for me to decide what to buy. By now I am deciding between Mojavi and Mosko Reckless 10. Both are very good products and I'm not sure about what fits better for me. As I don't know directly any of them, all the info i have is internet and youtube. What are the points do you think Mojavi is better than Mosko R10? What do you think should be the reasons to buy Mojavi instead Mosko R10? I understand that this question is so direct, but please I want to find the best real points of each to decide and I'm not sure if I'm having all in mind. Thanks!

Hello!, I´m facing the exhaust gas scenario..., I´ve a versys 300 and the exhaust is directly pointing my saddlebag, and already got damaged, is there a solution?, can I lower my exhaust or use something to re direct the hot gas?? thanks

So and American company that sells world wide, describes the sizing with a system only America uses, but uses metric to describe the holding capacity. 'Murica 😜

Great demonstration. Best I've seen yet. Most likely will buy this set up.

You did everything but show us how to use it.

Just curious about care after use. Should I rinse it out with water and hang to dry with the cap off or just leave the cap on, roll it up and store it. Which would be better to help preserve the inner bladder?

I notice the racks say Tusk. I called RMATV and they said they don't have racks.

Dork is running a Tusk tankbag on his new bike. Big mistake Giant Loop.

You forgot a big some. You can attach things to the hard cases, extra fuel, tent.... not the case with soft luggage. The things you carry in hard cases is better protected, you are less likely to break your camera in hard luggage than in soft luggage. If you tip your bike over with soft luggage anything breakable will probably break.

You just gave me a great idea with this video... gonna mount a universal TV mount there like this. Smaller, lots of mount points and FREE!

Been trying to find videos etc. of installation on Tenere 700 with the OEM yamara rear rack. 🤔

Seems car camping would be a better choice for some, holy over packer Batman!
