Looks like Giant Loop has a sale on these now so I’m considering grabbing a set for the ADV1. Giant Loop’s website say it has to be mounted to a rack with round bars. I’ve seen a few pics of ADV1s with these panniers. Any tricks to mounting them?
@Jim R This is a small opinion, as I ha soft bags on cruisers a decade ago, GL bags on the ADV1 for a short 6k miles, now Moskos for a couple thousand.
GL bags are great, were waterproof thru some nastiness, felt cavernous.
I like the Moskos better. The Molle connections front, back and under are really the big diff for me. I found I like the ability to compartmentalize my crap. Some like one big bag with all they need for Camp, another for all they need for breakdown, and so on. I like a dozen diff compartments, I blame the ADV1 with all the options
Not sure you could go wrong with the GL bags, but the (way too many) options on other bags led me here...
The easiest way to mount the GL RTWs is to get their quick release system (click here) and use our parallel bars to attach them to the trailer. Our parallel bars work with nearly all standard loop/hoop systems. The two exceptions are Tusk and BMW OEM bags, which both have additional mounting systems welded to the loop/hoop.
