By removing the large passenger handles on the KTM 790/1090/1190/1290
Adventure models and installing spacers in their place to secure the tail
rack, Giant Loop’s Great Basin Saddlebag, Coyote
Saddlebag, MoJavi Saddlebag and Siskiyou Panniers fit
these motorcycles like they were designed specifically for
them.
These black anodised aluminium spacers take the place of the
KTM 790/1090/1190/1290’s passenger handles, giving the factory tail
rack a tidy, clean profile.
With passenger handles removed, the
Siskiyou Panniers sit in the optimal position — panniers lids level
with the top of the seat, not drooping over the sides. The Siskiyou
Panniers’ cross-over section can be adjusted to its minimum
width.
The Siskiyou Panniers mount in the usual way, per GL’s
instructions included with the Panniers: The two side anchor straps secure
to the passenger footrest mounts, and two anchor straps attach the D-rings
on the tail of the Panniers to the stock tail rack. We like to use 16
— Pronghorn Straps as our anchors, as they are quick, easy and super
secure.
By securing the Siskiyou Panniers — wheel-side daisy
chains to the stock KTM luggage mounts and drawing forward tension with the
side anchor straps, the Panniers become solidly locked into position.
Supported by the stock luggage mounts in multiple locations.
For even
more stability, add another connection between the wheel-side daisy chain
and the super-burly exhaust hanger.
