I took both panniers & top box (although Yamaha say you should use one or the other) 8146 miles, everything from Fast forest gravel to bl00dy awful Romanian (war zone like) roads, and like everyone else I was worried about it's ability to stand up, had Touratech had a carrier I wouldn't have even considered the Yam OEM stuff. I did drop the bike, on gravel at about 30km/h, happy to report that the only damage was a slight scuff to the hand guards (Yam OEM ones) and some marks to the pannier. I'm quite suprised by the durability of these, and would certainly give them a go off road, although I would make some modifications and fix a stabiliser bar across the back, and I will as soon as I get chance (got my Fazer in a million bits right now, and there is still too much daylight available for some green lanes).

Yes it does, but it's tight.
