wordsmith Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nice! Both the cases and the fastenings look pretty sturdy! Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted September 19, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted September 19, 2017 Finally got and installed mine trekker dolomiti panniers. Is it the camera angle, or will the rack support need to be disassembled anytime the wheel is removed? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prn Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Is it the camera angle, or will the rack support need to be disassembled anytime the wheel is removed? You are right, rack support needs to be disassembled for wheel to be removed but these panniers uses PLR2122 racks which are rapid release racks, takes less than 1 minute to remove these racks. Very impressed with quality and functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member britelitebob Posted May 3, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted May 3, 2018 Question for you guys with the Dolomiti cases, can you leave them unlocked and just use the latch or do you have use the key every time you open them? Thanks BLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think I'm going to get a black set of the Dolomiti cases for my 900 GT. I really hate side loading cases after having several bikes where I've put top loading cases.. just so much nicer to pack. Plus, these are larger and they don't, in my opinion, overpower the rest of the bike and look out of place. I'm curious how much they weigh because the oem GT cases are heavy empty.

If OEM cases are heavy you don't want aluminum cases...btw I have a set of Kappa K-Venture/Givi Trekker Outback 37l for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I got the Dolomiti cases in yesterday, still waiting on the mounting rack. The GT oem cases are 11 lbs, the Dolomitis are 10.8lbs. The mounting rack is probably around 7 lbs but you have to remove the oem case mounts on the pass footpeg area. I'd say it's a wash. But, love top loading bags for their functionality, I don't plan on carrying a lot of heavy stuff but I like that I can just place it in the bag and it won't just fall out when I open them. The lid net is also a nice option if you go for it. I went with the painted black because I had some bare aluminium Traxx boxes on a previous bike and any water would stain them and require extra buffing to get them to look good again.

HGP61 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 My Bike came to me pre-loved and complete with the SHAD three box set so no choice for me. I really like the set up and had I been given a choice I would have gone with the SHAD boxes. A main consideration for me would be how the bike looks without the panniers fitted. Most of my riding is with the topbox only. Panniers are only used on my overnight tours. I like the more minimalist look of the pannier mount system used and don't particularly like the scaffold pipe image that some sets give you.

I never remove the side cases or top boxes myself but I did go with the PLR racks which come off completely in about the time it takes to take the bags off.

mellow Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I thought I'd see if my tool tube that's been sitting around for years would fit..I think it will work. ST-Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
