aLbinong Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just got y used 19 T900 GT and I noticed that the side panniers shakes and it moves even if its locked. Any tips on how to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTracer Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Can you see where its loose? Or if something has broken and been repaired? Lots of materias can snug up gaps. Is the lock latch mechanism good? Seems it should not be too hard to problem solve, although we've all gone thru that before. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Interesting. I looked at the bag mounts on a Tracer 9 GT last week and the lower mount points seemed pretty loose and fragile, especially compared to the monster lower mounts on my FJ. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrustyKush Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 They do hop around a bit on my 21 9GT, but not enough to fret over. Other bikes do the same. Nothing was worse than my 92 Concours. Make sure your lower mounts are tight, and that the bag is properly engaged there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLbinong Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 What I noticed is that the slot on the motorcycle where the pannier goes is bigger than the actual hook on the pannier so if I drag it from front to back, it moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Strangest bag mount setup I’ve seen is on Triumphs. There the bags are allowed to swing left and right across the bike to facilitate cornering. I don’t think I’d like a mobile center of gravity when pushing hard in the twistiest however.

You’d be surprised how well that system actually works, and the twisties is where it shines. It’s not really a mobile center of gravity as much as it’s allowing the weight to stay lower, or as low as it can be no matter what the bike is doing. By that I mean you don’t feel a movement or change because it just moves along with the bike. My Sprint GT has that “floating” mount on the side bags and the top case also is allowed to slightly shift. Other than the additional noise it makes over bumps, it’s a great design that works as intended. .
