I've always wondered how the dry-spec panniers fit on a bike.
I have the same side racks.
Thanks!

I made some mounts to attach my Rotopax to the side racks and made some strap disconnects to hang my Dryspec bags over them. I just use the medium Rox Straps to snug up the bags so they don't bounce. Works great!

It sure didn't look like Lake George, NY.

It’s actually an overlook on Rampart Range Rd. We were on our way back from Lake George.

Wrong thread. I thought this was the TW Porn thread.

Nice setup for camping. Could you please tell a bit more about what you pack and the packs themselves and for how long of a trip? Thanks for posting.

Sorry for the delay. The Dry Spec saddle bags are perfect for the TW. My gallon water and fuel Rotopax fit nicely under each. I keep tools, a small moto pump that runs off my charger pigtail, a rain jacket, and survival kit in one, and the other I pack my cooker, rain fly, REI camp chair, and food. The main duffel is a North Face (with a rain proof ruck cover over it). That is where I keep my tent, hatchet, sleep system, camp shoes, clothes, shower kit, additional cooking items, and misc. I've attached 2 nalgene holders to the outside to hold a couple liters of water for easy access. Attached to the rear rack, under the duffel, I mounted 2 MSR fuel bottles, and more tools. On my Adventure Spec rally dash I have mounted a small flashlight, a dual USB receptacle / voltage meter, and 2 RAM ball mounts for my phone and Garmin. In my tiny, over priced Giant Loop tank bag, I keep adapters, spare plug and fuel filter, cable ties, spare sunglasses, snacks, and misc. I can carry plenty for a weekend trip to the most remote areas of Colorado. The upside and downfall of the TW is that it can go anywhere, just not fast. Especially at 6-10k feet up, loaded down with gear and rider. Once you're on the dirt, the speed isn't an issue. I am picking up a Tenere soon for the serious trips that may require highway miles, but for now, the TW is a blast and it fits on the back of my Jeep.

Nice set up! I ride out of Wagon Tongue a couple times a year. While the trails aren't as plentiful as Tarryall there aren't nearly as many people either.

There are a lot of Colorado TW riders. I will have to remember to post up when I host group rides around the state, here on the forum.

Might have to do some Incursion rides in Colorado from Idaho.
