I have ordered the Magadans. Might still take some time before they arrive, but as soon as I have some experience with them I will post up a review.

These were delivered today by DHL:

I must admit, despite already high expectations they feel even sturdier than expected. The quality of the stitchings is absolutely impeccable. Can't wait to put these to use.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback (& photos) on these. I'm planning on getting a set as soon as I can afford them. Still sussing out frames too, so appreciate the suggestions so far. :ninja:

tried them on the bike today. 1 bag fits a 3 person tent, 2 sleeping bags, 2 inner liners for the sleeping bags, 2 air beds, 2 air pillows and a hand pump. so plenty of storage room.

they fit the Tenere nicely. front strap goes under the seat, rear strap under the Givi top plate.

ideally I would like to move it further forward as I will not be riding with a pillion. But that would require some serious modifications to the rack.

Very nice. BTW, what tank bag base it that you're running?

It is the base from the Famsa tank bag for the Tenere. I had the zipper replaced to fit the generic Famsa enduro tank bag I still had lying around.
The bag specific for the Ten is slightly different as it has a bit of an indentation at the front, making it easier to get to the key.

Hmmm, ok, that's a new one for me. I didn't know there were proper Tenere tank bags (I don't like those ones that stick out with a flat base). I'm not real sure about tank bags, but I am curious, & I was wondering if I should be looking to put even a bit of weight forward, just to offset the weight of the Magadans slightly.

Think its time for a bit of research. :read2:

Thanks for that.

Good day all!!!

On my XT660X I have fitted a pair of GIVI TREKKER aluminium cases and on a recent 1000km tour of Sardinia they proved to be excellent. I have also removed the top box and the bike is more stable at touring speeds without the topbox. Link follows:
