I've just done my first longer run on the 2021 SAR, with luggage fitted. I've noticed before that with the Givi Trekker 52 fitted (transferred over from my 1190) that got a bit of head shake, but with panniers on as well it's much worse.
I've got the KTM Touratech style pannier frames on, and fitted my Kriega OS 32 soft bags to these. The frames stand out far too far from the bike, making it a really wide load, and the head shake is now really bad.
I've noticed on Mrs Berin's Tiger 900 GT Pro, which uses the same Givi top box, that the mount "floats" - no head shake at all. There doesn't seem to be an option to for this for the 1290.
Apparently the KTM SAS panniers, which also fit the SAR, do "float", so I wonder if that might be the answer. I'd like to get back to narrowing the bike with better fitting boxes somehow, on my old 1190 I had Jesse boxes which were no wider than the bars, but the 1190 frames don't fit the 1290.
Bit of a ramble, but in short - any suggestions for luggage to solve the width and headshake problems?
