Has anyone bought or used the Desert X Soft Side Panniers?

 

[Pedro FR40]

hello, I had a look at them, but finally i am interested in KRIEGA OS base. I think i will purchase the specific desert X one if they release it one day or maybe the OS dirt bike one. I sent a message to KRIEGA to know if the norden OS BASE may fit but no answer from them.

I'll be using my enduristan monsoon bags with a aftermarket rack,They alot cheaper than anything ducati branded and they tried and tested for a few years now..

I installed the sw motech sysbag wp: together 80l and a real nice fit to the DX.

Hi Jeff, I just installed it on my yet to be delivered Desert X. I initially thought it would rub on the exhaust, but it turns out it clears it. That’s due to two side wings that bolt on to the frame then there is a more ridged saddle that fits over that, then the bags buckle onto the saddle. Seems like it works ok so far, I will report back when I have items inside and see how they hold up after a few rides.

I use the sw motech Pro Mount: they have the advantage that I can easily dismount the carriers if I dont use the paniers.

Hi, you need to go to the dealer for recall campaign, for side stand and shock absorber lower protection

Thanks for notifying me. What’s the difference with the new side stand and shock absorber protection?

 

[bailey562003]

Some of the earlier bikes would stand fairly upright, making the bike an easy target to tip over if you don't have it on level ground. The shock protection is basically a cover for the bottom bolt as to not allow dirt, mud etc to get into the shock bolt area.

lower protection

So I’m just over 1000km with the panniers, so far I’m happy with them they don’t sag and touch the exhaust, and when empty they pack quite tight to the bike which I prefer. I have yet to load the exhaust side, and even the left side had a few cloths so nothing really heavy to make them sag. I plan on keeping cloths on the sides anyway so I don’t expect much sag. I’ll report back if there is something to add, but in the mean time, enjoy the photos.
