I hope that OTR can supply a kit to mount "whatever type of cases" to the SWM quick-lock EVO rack. I do like the ease of attaching the cases with that system. And as it goes for robustness... -If it is good enough for that guy travelling down through Africa and this guy struggeling to get his F800GS unstuck --- LINK --- Then it will be good enough for me.

Farnell in Sweden offers a pelicase "copy" that isn't cheap enough. But on th UK site it is less than half price.

Finished product!
 
I wanted to give you an update with the finished product.

I went for the SWM quick-lock EVO pannier racks, from OTR.
Made the easiest mount possible with 4 M6 bolts from the inside of the case through the EVO rack. I think the result is great for the cost of 370 Euro. The cases are slim on the bike, sturdy and waterproof and doesn't look too bad.

Low-tech fastening system. There are two pieces of metal bar inside the case.

78cm wide is slim, for hard luggage. On the other hand they are only 18 liters each, which I guess will be ok combined with a medium Givi top case, and possibly the camping gear strapped to the passenger seat.

Excellent idea and well executed.:115: The volume is about the same as my Metal Mule panniers but considerably cheaper and I bet much much lighter.
Well done that man.

Thanks.
Are you happy with the size of your panniers? I am a little worried mine might be on the small side.
