Hi my friend, you made the same mistake I did, the serial numbers on the arms should point down to the ground and not be facing outward, if you go back and study the instructions again you will see what I mean. The bags will be closer and neater.
The bags are only held on to the poles by the clip I broke. I had a long trip about 5k miles last summer with out any problems. Also the weight of that bags when filled also help keep them in place + your legs takes the wind and not the bags :) Hope that helps you out :)
The plan was to go to Norway, but my friends and I decided that we will try and do it next year insted because of Covid restrictions right now 😁 Soon I will go back to work, so it will be a bit quiet from my end until December 🤔
@@DamTheDane with you on that, all my plans shot to hell this year and last because of covid, bike has just been left in the garage gathering cobwebs hardly used at all, let's hope things are even more back to normal in 2022, I mean I cant go on for ever surely. All the best mate from here in England. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇩🇰🇩🇰
Hello, can you give me a rough estimate of clearance value between plastic male and female part? I want to create a similar 3D printed part, but custom made for my FZ6. Thanks!
That is true, and in a perfect world I would have both an R and a GT, but the tax system sucks in Denmark, so I those the one I would have the most fun with 😅
Great videos mate really enjoy watching the fitment problems you encounter on the way and the solutions. Brilliant 👏
Thank you very much for the kind words mate 😀
Got some of those on my GT , excellent bit of kit. You realise that you can expand them slightly undoing the outer zip ?. All the best mate.
Nice detailed review, do you think the broken clip will be a repeated experience or just an unfortunate one off
Cheers
Carl
Thanks. Just a one off because of my incompetens 😅
@@DamTheDane lol I will buy a set then! Cheers😁

Thanks for letting me know 😃 I will check that right away 😃 Have a good one 😃
@@DamTheDane your welcome brother ride safe. 👍
Love your videos btw!
I was convinced to buy it..then it snapped!! Still a good solution me thinks.
Hi there do the bags lock onto the pole on each side like clip onto it as I can’t trust that clip that broke to keep it on at speed

Fantastic, you have invented a 1290 Super Duke R Touring, so where are you off to on your first trip with your SD R Touring. 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇩🇰

So I don’t have the passenger foot pegs on my bike..would I still be able to install the bracket?
I would guess so. You might need to find some washers to space the bracket a little bit further out to make up for the lose of footpegs :)

Is it uncomfortable for the passenger?
Not more than the standart seat 😅
@@DamTheDane got it, thx!
Will a laptop fit in the bags?
I dont know to be honest 🤔
I will check it when I get home in July, and get back to you ☺️
@@DamTheDane did you test it? I will buy this if my dell xps 15 fits.
@@DamTheDane Please let us know!
i am crying...
Excellent video, very informative, but what dreadful music 😅
Thanks, and I know. Copyright freestuff isnt the best 😅
No offence, but to equip a 1290 sdr with bags allover is like putting a pink handbag on the devils shoulder 😅
That is true, and in a perfect world I would have both an R and a GT, but the tax system sucks in Denmark, so I those the one I would have the most fun with 😅
I totally get it. I live in Sweden and the tax-system is just as shitty here 😅
In spring 2022 I'm getting a 1290 sdr myself. Can't wait!
@@hedman0214 In Denmark the SDR starts from 385.000 Swedish krones (280.000DKK)🤣 More shitty than that? 🤣
Daaayuuuum! 😨 That's just sick?! How about if you buy the bike in Sweden and ship it to Denmark, is it alot in toll-fee?
@@hedman0214 It is all toll/tax, so no way around it 😟😅
Those clip straps look badly designed and positioned.
True. They worked better on the MT-09 I had years ago 😅 Also, why not make them in some sort of metal 🤔
@@DamTheDane yeah very odd
Prize is .... Well overprized
