Metal Mule Panniers

Hi all

I wanted to buy the Metail Mule panniers to fit my standard XT660R, unfortunately you also need to buy their exhaust ...

An option is to buy a third part rack and an (expensive) adaptor plate to fit their panniers. I cant find the third part rack (think it was a Givi) as the product code they gave me was invalid.

I'm disappointed as now I will have to get the Touratech which I dont fancy as much, although they are a lot cheaper, nearer �500 than the thousand pounds plus approx to but the MM stuff and exhaust. Even if I locate the third part rack I will still be paying nearly �1000 for a sub-optimal solution.

Are Metal Mule missing a potential market here ?

I would quite happily pay �700-�800 for a MM Rack and pair of panniers if they would fit my bike without changing the exhausts.

Cheers - Steve
