We got two sets of these for exactly the reasons you mentioned. They were big enough for a Spain road trip last summer. Easter egg, they securely fit on a Monokey rack top plate if you feel the need.
Hello. Sorry for the late reply, I’ve only just seen it. Yes they are waterproof. I’ve ridden in torrential rain for 6 hours on the motorway & no leaks. I recommend them
Hi, the rack on the Africa Twin sits out further on the right side but I always pack that side thinner to compensate. It also helps to keep the weight down on that side to compensate for the exhaust. The racks on the Transalp are symmetrical because the exhaust is lower & out of the way. All depends on what bike you own.
@@toejamtimmy4402 Cheers. I really like the look of these bags. Does the Transalp exhaust sit close to the bottom of the right hand bag? Are you worried at all about heat there?
@@the_katman2181 no not worried at all, used it loads of time & no problems. The standard exhausts have heat shields anyway, but it’s not close enough to melt or damage the bag.

Thank you for the nice review.
I will be getting these as I have a secure waterproof locking top case (for valuables) on long trips (days to weeks).
Thank you 😊 I’m glad it helped.
Enjoy your trips away, hope the weather is good for you 👍
Great review…so much so that, I bought a set ready for my summer ! Is that lomo bags you have up front? If so how do you get on with ?
Thank you! That’s great to hear.
The lomo bags are very good, prefer them to my SW Motech I had which were double the price.
Thank you for what you provided to us. Is it waterproof? It does not enter water at all

No need to apologize..thank you
Does the rack for these not also stick out far on the right?
