Tank panniers anyone?

[zirconx]

Has anyone mounted tank panniers on an NC700X?

I am thinking if we could mount it with only the front strap, the frunk lid could still operate.



Actually after a lot of digging I found a pic with an NC700X with tank panniers. Would like to hear from anyone who has figured this out.

Pic is from this thread: Owners Chat (with pics!): Honda NC700X - Page 30 - ADVrider

If you need that much storage, might want to consider an ST

Personally, I wouldn't do it due to safety concerns ...

I have a pair of the Aerostitch tank panniers, but have not used them yet other than to see how I could mount them. The rear strap will be over the frunk opening tho. I guess I need tho put them & take a picture. I also have an RKA tankbag that it took me a while to figure out how to run the straps so that I could use it.

I had them on my Quota, very handy, especially as they addressed buffeting that came from underneath. Safety was not an issue, they are very secure and do not move. As an aside, wolfman products are the gold standard for soft luggage options.

Looks like that would trash the airodynamics. Wonder what the fuel mileage hit would be?

Don't know about the NC, but no effect on mpg on the Q.

That would be my concern also.

If you like them and they work for you more power to you.

My 2 cents....I don't like any soft bags. I also don't like anything which does not "look nice".
So no go for me.
