Has anyone used the Magadan soft panniers on a 1200GS? I currently have the OEM adventure panniers and racks fitted.
Asking as I bounced off a couple of cars while filtering on the commute. The right pannier clipped a rear bumper which sent the bike veering left towards another car which I clipped with the left pannier. My own fault as I clearly got my angles all wrong.
So it has me thinking are the panniers too wide for the type of commuting I do. The choices are to replace them with a 50L-ish topbox or soft panniers.
Not entirely sure though how the Magadans would work with the exhaust and could I strap them around the pannier frames.
