Thanks for putting this review up. I have the same bike and rack as you so will face the same issue as you do getting them on and off, but at least I know this before i buy them!
@@robmotorcycletravels much easier than joining center straps. Just put buckles on both strap ends and it is done. But look for buckles which do not require a closed loop on strap so You can adjust both sides. No sewing or cutting.
Very helpful review. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this. I have the same OEM rear rack and I'm having the same issue with finding saddle bags that you can get on and off easily. I ordered some Enduristan bags and found the center straps wont fit through the buckles without cutting the ends. Thinking of just getting some Oxford bags instead. I doubt they will hold up to much abuse but I'm sure they'll do the job for now.
Thanks to @dzieburs: I also changed the oem buckles to "release buckles" (dt. Steckschnallen) of 50 mm. On & off is done in seconds (!), it's tight, it's real great! So it's a real improvement to oem buckles... Regards from T7 rider Guenther, Austria
Thanks, I have done that modification as well and it is a BIG improvement especially when you use a rear rack like I have. You live in a great and beautiful country by the way 😀
I got them and I can fit a tent and sleepingbag in them(without poles)...are you sure the rear straps are attached correctly? Looks different on the touratech website, just saying...
thx for the nice review, I am shopping for sogt luggage for my bike so this has been very useful. I would hv two Qs, first, wether you had chance to compare w Mosko Rackless 80L or Giant Loop Coyotte/Great Basin? (I know these are much more expensive, but let's put price aside...) Second, is it really OK to have the bag so close to exhaust w/o heatshield? I would be worried for instance if I fitted the bag just few mm more loose, it could get burnt by the exhaust .. ? Thx a happy riding!
thanks for your reaction. I have no problem with these bags and my exhaust, there is enough space between them. Sorry, I don’t have experience with the other brands you mentioned.

thanks for your comment. Let me know if you find an easier way to mount then.
I put 50mm plastic side release buckles to center starps so bags can be installed or taken off in a few moments and lenght remains the same.
thanks for your reply, sounds like an interesting option. Easy to install these side release buckles ?

Nice Review...I also like these bags too. We still have a bit of snow and wind :(
Thanks !

Good to know, thanks. Will check the Touratech site, but I think it was like this in the manual.

Can these be mounted rackless you think?
Yes, I have them mounted rackless
Its much so simple the tight setting sorry but i saw a lot of mistakes on your video....
