PANNIERS
Included: • 1 Pair Panniers
• 1 Semi-Rigid Board System
• 2 Shoulder Straps
Fitting Instructions:
1.
Roll closure at least 3 times and secure with clip buckles.
2.
The panniers attach together using six opposing integral Hook and Loop straps (3 on each pannier).
3.
The two opposing central straps should be fastened together securely and mounted together underneath the
seat of the motorcycle.
4.
The four remaining straps should be fastened securely and mounted over (or under) the seat to allow the best
fit for your particular motorcycle.
5.
The minimum Hook and Loop straps overlap (contact patch) should be 15cm. The straps should then be
adjusted so that the panniers sit tight against the side of the motorcycle and do not sag.
6.
If the Hook and Loop straps are too long they can be cut down with a pair of scissors. However, ensure the
minimum contact patch is still achieved.
7.
The 4 adjustable webbing straps may then be used to hold the panniers firmly in place by attaching them to
an appropriate secure part of the motorcycle, such as dedicated luggage hooks or footrests but not to the
indicators! These should then be tensioned to prevent the panniers moving, rolled at the ends and secured
using hook and loop tabs. (Fig.1)
8.
Use bungees (sold separately) to secure any remaining attachment points on the bags to an appropriate part
of the motorcycle, if necessary.
9.
The panniers must not be free to move as this may a) cause an unsafe riding situation b) cause paintwork to
be damaged c) allow the panniers to touch the exhaust and burn.
10.
Test to make sure that the bag cannot move position and come into contact with the rear wheel.
11.
The panniers should always be loaded evenly.
12.
Insert semi-rigid board system where applicable
13.
Removable waterproof liners also provided.
WARNING
• Do not overload – maximum recommended loading capacity 5 kg per bag.
• Do not put bungees or straps under the tail section as the rear tyre may make dangerous contact under
suspension compression
• If the motorcycle has rear suspension springs at each side of the swingarm, do not rest pannier bags
against these springs. Consider the use of a metal pannier rack specific to your motorcycle.
• It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the luggage is attached in such a way that it does not damage
or put at risk the owner or any property of the owner.
• Do not exceed the UK legal speed limit. This product has only been
tested for use at UK road legal speeds.
• Regularly check cords/ straps for wear and replace if they show any
signs of weakening or friction damage. These can be purchased from
your local dealer.
• When using bungee cords these should not be extended beyond their
elasticity (approx. 175% of their original size)
• If the luggage is not attached securely, it may become detached, cause
an obstruction that could lead to serious injury and even death
• Do not allow any straps to hang loose near wheels or chains
• Ensure that no part of the straps or bag can damage your motorcycle
and that it does not rub against any moving or hot parts of the
motorcycle such as the exhaust, thus causing it to fray, burn or
otherwise weaken.
• If you are in any doubt about the security of the luggage on
your motorcycle, seek advice before use from your Oxford dealer.
