Cheap sadle bags
 
Found some very cheap (20 euro) sadle bags at louis.de. For that amount of money I will try it to see if it works. Looks good, no need for a rack because they cannot go in the wheel and the muffler does not become hot. Mounted with 3 straps of which 2 are placed under the sadle. Both can hold 15 L, enough for a weekend two up. More straps availible.

Looks nice, and at that price you can have a extra sets just in case. =) Replacing my oem alu panniers with soft stuff starting with some Kriega bags, more flexible and looks better on this bike.

They have a build in plastic rain cover.

Be quick if you want to order because they will stop selling this product.

Don't see anything, still on order :).

I tested them yesterday, put about 5 kg in each bag and drove to my work. Mounted them with one extra strap on the back, no movement at all. On the way back they were empty and then they tend to go to the back (exhaust) so I needed one more strap on the front to hold them in place

I'm happy with them.

they're look like the Oxford first time pannier

I've been using mine for 3 years without pb, except for the rain cover which seams burst during 1st use.

Yow Gas,

those are not mt21's but tw 301 and 302. I'm very happy with them. But, I want to test the combination of mt21 rear and tw at the front.
Nothing beats the mt21 in the mud, so they say.

Yow Niek, my saddlebags are 25 liters. You can enlarge them with a zipper. They are quite good in the rain also, but I have also raincovers for them.
