Very happy with them, easy to fit and have the bonus of being able to use one of the panniers as a topbox for day to day riding!
VR_Rider have you a picture from the rear of your f650 with both the Trekkers fitted.

Thanks Gary

Pic from behind as requested.

Compared to other luggage systems its a relatively slim. Measures roughly around 96cm acroos, just a smidge wider than the mirrors. I have fitted 2 33L trekkers rather than fitting a larger one on the non exhaust side.

I plan to take proper measurements and update the UKGSER luggage thread with the details. The metal mule luggage system with 2x38L I had fitted before measured 105cm.

Are you thinking of getting some trekkers?

Thanks for the picture.

I'm due to px my Tenere on monday for a f800gs,i already have 3 x 33 litre Trekkers and was wondering if people fit a 46ltr one side and a 33ltr the other as the exhaust on the Gs sticks out a fair way.
Not made my mind up wether to fit Givi or SW Motech frames.

Sounds like you and Gary 117 could have a swap on the cards!

Gary117, I would imagine most people go with a 33 and 46 set up. I decided to go with 2 33 as that we by more than enough for me and when 2 up I have a 44lt top box as well!

As for frames I would imagine all mount with roughly the same width! The give ones I fitted you also need to mount the rear rack as well.

Make sure you up load some pics when you have it sorted!

I have decided to go for the Sw-motech evo quick release frames,as looking at some pics from the rear of the bike they seem tobe fairly close in width both sidesso with me having the 33litre trekkers i think they will be ok on my 800 Gs.

I still have my old Givi top plate of my old 09 800gs so will use that for my 3rd Trekker.
I will post some pics when i get it all fitted
