Title: Soft panniers for V85TT
Post by: Razor5A on January 26, 2022, 09:13:30 AM
Anyone tried soft panniers on their V85TT? I have the OEM mounts for the OEM aluminum panniers. Wondering if soft panniers can mount directly onto the side racks. If not is there an after market adapter that can be bolted onto the OEM rack to accept soft panniers.

The Mosko Moto Reckless 80 set-up fit perfectly on the 2020 Adventure model with the OEM pannier racks in place.

I use a pair of Nelson Rigg dry bags with plastic trash cans for internal support that  work fine with OEM side racks.  The new Nelson Rigg Adventure Dry bags
come with  removable internal stiffeners and backing plates.  $215.00 come in black or HVIS.  Can't beat them for the money IMO. The newer bags come with updated metal buckles and extra rings for tie down points and or to add additional small bags.  When/if I replace my old beaters this will probably be my choice.

I assume the odd shape rack on the left does not interfere with mounting of the bag?

I had no issues.  Did 2700 miles/5 states out west in June.  No problems.

Thanks to the encouragements. Tusk pannier mounted on OEM aluminum panniers rack.

Nice choice.  Good value for money.  Just for grins check out the Apache cases at HF.  I have a small one on my DR 350 and a 2800 Series (I think) mounted on the back of the V 85 instead of the aluminum top case.  Saves, if I remember, about 13-15 lbs of weight.
