Tusk Pilot Pannier Bags with Quick Release Mounting Plates | Installation

- Surprisingly, the Tusk Pilot Pannier Bags do not include instructions for mounting them to the Tusk Pannier Soft Luggage Mounts (AKA quick release plates). It is possible, but it requires a little ingenuity. This video follows my installation of both the plates and the bags.

Thanks, this helped me realize I am good with just stapping my bags to the Tusk frame when I need to travel with them. I don't need the extra weight of those brackets.
Thank *you* for the video sir.. This helped me a lot ( i watched it 3 times )
Glad it was helpful! Safe travels!
I slit some clear tubing down the middle and put it over the steel tubing then ran electrical tape around it, very tight at first but now it's broken in and doesn't rattle
Just what I was looking for, thank you for the video.
I was surprised you did not mention the weight of the mounting plates! Great idea for the extra support with the extra webbing. - Frank
It was too late when I thought about it 🙂
Nicely detailed installation video. On the fender washers, could you use a felt washer -- they would compress a bit and keep a snug, quiet fit? Looking forward to your review of how the Pilot panniers work for you.
Thanks! I'm not sure I'd use felt washers by themselves, but they should certainly work in conjunction with traditional washers.
I just removed the buckles from the straps that go across the bike and used them figured that's what they were there for
Excellent video and well timed for me. Doing this very project tomorrow! Just subscribed!
Thanks! I hope your install went well!
You could space out the mounting bracket from the plate using washers and that would give you clearance between the rack and the buckles at the top.
Except then the quick release pin won’t seat properly.
I guess I'm confused. Just ordered all the parts same as you so we will see 🫶💯
@@rbfokc3470 You’ll figure out a good solution, no doubt! Safe travels!
I just finished installing the Tusk rack and aluminum panniers on my 2023 KLR 650S. I must say that the installation on my Royal Enfield Himalayan was much easier; however, I think the Tusk system is much more rugged and the bags have more capacity.
Tnx dude ,my turn next week w/ my baby pig😃
Use the washers, and there is a know that you install on the back that will eliminate the rattle. You will notice a extra threaded hole on the back of your panier rack
Glad I saw this comment as it works perfectly and wondered about the rattle when I just installed mine!
And that you pay a lot of money for. I just made a rack for my Nelson Panniers, a few dollars, and no rattles.
Hi... Clever solutions and glad you're addressing exactly the same problem I'm dealing with. How's that extra webbing holding up? I've duplicated this on my Pilots but I'm not confident the added straps will stay in place. I worry they'll loosen up over time with vibrations and jostling, and would prefer having more confidence
So far so good with the webbing. Only a few short tips with them so far, though.
Do you want he sell them?
@@allenr3551 Nope. They work well enough for me!
Don't you love that most things you buy don't work as intended and need some sort of fixing or fabricating to make them work?! That being said I really like my tusk pilot bags, I ended up just slinging them over the racks and the quick release plates are still sitting in the box in my garage and will most likely stay there haha.
Agreed. And I don’t blame you a bit for not using the quick release plates-they’re heavy as shit! Lol
I like your solution.
I am installing the same setup onto my dr 650. How did your idea work in the long run?
Holding up well!
How much weight did she gain with the racks and mounting plates? As always very thorough video, thank you!
I didn't weigh them (I should have), but the weight is significant. I'd guess it's about 15 lbs, all together.
@@MotoTherapy looking good though!
I have a 2023 Kawasaki, 650 KLR adventure and I recently purchased Tusk Olympus Panier bag mount plate, universal Panier rack. Is there a video that explains how to assemble the plates? Remember that this is universal not the regular plate. Any help would be appreciated.
I don’t have a video on just the plates-sorry! I hope you’re able to get it all sorted soon! I do like my rack now that it’s all together 👍
Thanks! Have an awesome weekend!
I know you posted this several months ago; however, here goes. I ordered the exact same set up. Was your plate aluminum or steel? Mine arrived today and it was still, but advertised a aluminum!
Mine is solid steel with no cutouts to help reduve weight. Nearly indestructable, but very heavy!
@@MotoTherapy Rocky Mountain ATV requested that I check my plate with a magnet based on a review I submitted. I placed a magnet on the plate and it did not adhere! I was shocked because I still do not believe it is aluminum! But, I have no idea what metal it could be. ?
hi thanks where did you buy this system thanks
