Sometimes you want to be naked

The panniers are SOLID and very well engineered. The instructions are somewhat lacking, in the which screw to use, department. Overall the installation is quick and easy. It would take me 10 minutes to install/remove the top bag and panniers. When removed there is a Velcro handle that lets you carry both bags like luggage. Once locked in they do not move at all. There is ample Velcro and it is automotive grade. The side rods are QD and they completely hold the bags from moving in. The back sides are stiff so they will hold their shape and have a rubber material on them to stop movement. The insides are a red padding. The red helps you to see what's in the bags. The zippers are (2) YYZ and they wrap around allowing complete access to the opening.  SW-Motech also includes waterproof roll bags for each side that completely fit expanded or zipped down. The sides expand to double the volume of the bag. There is a small zippered side pocket as well. When the pannier is not expanded you could still lane split.  Expanded I could easily get 3 days of clothes, an extra pair of shoes and toiletries kit.  When closed I could two days worth. 

The top bag is the SW-Motech EVO Day tank bag that is mounted to the rear rack with the SW-Motech quick disconnect tank ring system. It's small enough not to get in the way of your leg swing and looks clean by itself. It is also expandable and can have a power cord from under the seat connected through it for additional charging.

What makes this system great is there are additional sized bags from SW-Motech should one want more storage.

I can't say enough about SW-Motech quality.  Well worth the investment. 

Thank you. 

It's quick release and looks like it was never there when removed. When I sit on the bike my helmet is over it (5' 11").  But it W-O-R-K-S, and that's the only reason to have one. 

It's not necessary needed around town. It's a miracle above 60 mph. 

I'll make a .gif of its movement. 

WTF

Isn't it a little early to be drinking.  All you haters can get beat to shit by the wind.....me....not so much.  It's only big boned in the photos.

Expect about 8-10 business days before they show.  Expect the French postal service to give no updates for 4-6 days. (the French and their Frencie ways)

I received the same answer from SW-Motech corp. (US distributer was an a-hole).  If I had to SWAG a guess, SW-Motech is making the Yamaha OEM bags (look about the same) and there is an agreement not to compete.  When I looked at the individual part numbers for the mounts/bars/bags from the FZ-09/07 vs MT-10 the only difference is the bags.  The FZ-10 bags are Blaze-H (H being the critical part | 09's are just Blaze).  I assume these mean HIGH.  After mounting them I can see the difference in the slider tube on the bag allowing for it to mount higher with a slight angle forward.  They are well above my exhaust.  Although I did stop and let the bike idle for a few before turning it off.  The right bag was warm to the touch underneath but not inside.  Not melting hot by any means.  I think they will be fine with my exhaust.  It would not be an issue moving.

I would also suggest the SW-Motec rear rack.  When you lock the bags over the seat with the velcro the rack also helps to keep the solidly mounted.  The locking strap is also there as well.

I road with them last night at speed and I didn't feel anything different.  We had pretty high winds and I didn't feel any weird tail issues.

I don't understand the question.

You wouldn't have a side view picture from the exhaust side would you? I have the Akra system which sits about the same place as the stock exhaust. I'd say a bit higher, but further back than your set up, from the one rear picture. It's just kind of hard to gauge. If not it isn't that big of a deal. I've already ordered. I assumed they developed the bags with the stock system in mind, so as long as mine is close to that, I should be good.

Macho Garcias. (That means thank you in case you aren't ambidextrous)

That looks pretty close to mine. Mine maybe an inch higher and maybe extends an inch or two to the rear, but the exhaust port angle is less upward and more aft so I'd say I'll be okay. Thanks again.

There is one clip on each bag that lock the bag tight forward to the rod. (See Pictures) There is HD Velcro that connects the bags over the seat.

Once the bags are removed there is a HD Velcro handle that locks them together to be carried like luggage.

If you have the SW-Motech rear rack it will prevent the bags from moving back as well.
