I too had a look at these soft racks as I like the price and the potential lighter weight than say a Givi, TT, MM rack etc. However, I have not found any user reviews on either the company or that product on the web other than other eBay buyers comments.

With the racks themselves, I don't mind if they bend when I fall on the non-exhaust side (I have the MM 2 into 1) but when (not if) I fall on the exhaust side, I think any amount of coin that I saved by buying these will be very quickly forgotten in my panic to recover the situation before burning said panniers!

I'm heading to Morocco for a couple of months to explore some pistes and I am not convinced that these racks would be durable enough with the impact of corrugations/vibrations over an extended time?

Unless I find out more on these racks, I'm leaning toward the Givi racks for the purpose. For my 2008 model, the Givi price is �139 delivered, which makes it a lot steeper than the �60 Greek product but for your model, the Givi is �109 delivered - which is lot nicer on the wallet.

Good luck with your choice and if you do buy them, please let me know how you get on with them as the tight-ar$e in me combined with the weight-weenie would definitely prefer to use the �60 option!

Cheers,
