    I am after a solution to carry a tent and sleeping bag on my 2016 speed triple. normally I would just put my throw over panniers on and bungee the tent on top but because of the twin pipes I cant. I was hoping renntec would do a rack for it but they don't do one for that model.

    i had to drop the arrows by a few millimetres so the frame for the SW Motech panniers would fit,but if you have the standard twin pipes they fit without any modification

    My solution would be to rent one of them there camping pods....warmer and drier than the tent too...also cheaper for a couple of nights that buying the pannier system.:D

    i got a mate to make up a couple of brackets,i've heard some folk don't need to do it if they have the arrows on but it's a very tight squeeze

    I have pannier frames that quickly bolt on keeping soft panniers off the exhausts. Also use Ventura rack and tailpack
