So, I'm planning a full Route 66 trip with my brother this summer and I need panniers on a budget. The Tusk boxes look great and are sturdy enough to even use for camps stools. The problem, of course, is that Tusk just won't make a rack for our bikes.
I know several people have posted pics of them on their bikes here, but does anyone have any insight into which racks work best? Has anyone gotten the quick release to work with an alternate rack? I'd like something budget friendly and robust. I'd like either a complete rear luggage rack solution or something at least friendly with a later rear-rack add on.
I think they all mount up the same, but I'm on a 2013 NC700xd. We're going to ship our bikes out around May first, so some European options might not have time to arrive in the states.
