Mounting Touratech Zega panniers on an XS?

[16vsilverstreak]

Has anyone mounted Touratech Zega panniers on an xs650? I'm taking mine in the direction of dual sport meets cafe racer. My last mount was a BMW F650 with OE panniers, super handy.

Welcome! Not sure how your bags mounting brackets attach, but I mounted Krausers on my FJ by cribbing the bags in position and fabbing the brackets out of mild steel strap. Took some time, but has worked no problems for ten years of overloading. Where there's a will, there's a way. Good luck!

Looks good, I'm off to the drawing board.

I have Krausers on my 650. I just needed to fab some of the strap mounts (upper and lower front ones) for the bag "hoops". Rear attached with the original Krauser mounts .....

Nice job on the bags and explanation! Hard bags don't appeal to everyone, but can't be beat for a daily rider.
