Surprisingly, the Tusk Pilot Pannier Bags do not include instructions for mounting them to the Tusk Pannier Soft Luggage Mounts (AKA quick release plates). It is possible, but it requires a little ingenuity. This video follows my installation of both the plates and the bags.

Thank *you* for the video sir.. This helped me a lot ( i watched it 3 times )

@MotoTherapy 14 дней назад

Glad it was helpful! Safe travels!

@mrjay4000 Год назад

Thanks, this helped me realize I am good with just stapping my bags to the Tusk frame when I need to travel with them. I don't need the extra weight of those brackets.

I slit some clear tubing down the middle and put it over the steel tubing then ran electrical tape around it, very tight at first but now it's broken in and doesn't rattle

I was surprised you did not mention the weight of the mounting plates! Great idea for the extra support with the extra webbing. - Frank

It was too late when I thought about it 🙂

Just what I was looking for, thank you for the video.

Nicely detailed installation video. On the fender washers, could you use a felt washer -- they would compress a bit and keep a snug, quiet fit? Looking forward to your review of how the Pilot panniers work for you.

@MotoTherapy Год назад

Thanks! I'm not sure I'd use felt washers by themselves, but they should certainly work in conjunction with traditional washers.

@rbfokc3470 Месяц назад

You could space out the mounting bracket from the plate using washers and that would give you clearance between the rack and the buckles at the top.

Except then the quick release pin won’t seat properly.

@rbfokc3470 Месяц назад

I guess I'm confused. Just ordered all the parts same as you so we will see 🫶💯

@MotoTherapy Месяц назад

@@rbfokc3470 You’ll figure out a good solution, no doubt! Safe travels!

I just removed the buckles from the straps that go across the bike and used them figured that's what they were there for

I just finished installing the Tusk rack and aluminum panniers on my 2023 KLR 650S. I must say that the installation on my Royal Enfield Himalayan was much easier; however, I think the Tusk system is much more rugged and the bags have more capacity.

Excellent video and well timed for me. Doing this very project tomorrow! Just subscribed!

@MotoTherapy 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I hope your install went well!

@ericlichtenberger1785 Год назад

Use the washers, and there is a know that you install on the back that will eliminate the rattle. You will notice a extra threaded hole on the back of your panier rack

@nevadarider1 6 месяцев назад

Glad I saw this comment as it works perfectly and wondered about the rattle when I just installed mine!

@brucefromhart5220 4 месяца назад

I like your solution. I am installing the same setup onto my dr 650. How did your idea work in the long run?

@MotoTherapy 4 месяца назад

Holding up well!

Tnx dude ,my turn next week w/ my baby pig😃

@3goldfinger Год назад

And that you pay a lot of money for. I just made a rack for my Nelson Panniers, a few dollars, and no rattles.

@roadslesstraveled23 Год назад

Don't you love that most things you buy don't work as intended and need some sort of fixing or fabricating to make them work?! That being said I really like my tusk pilot bags, I ended up just slinging them over the racks and the quick release plates are still sitting in the box in my garage and will most likely stay there haha.

@MotoTherapy Год назад

Agreed. And I don’t blame you a bit for not using the quick release plates-they’re heavy as shit! Lol

@randypower Год назад

Hi... Clever solutions and glad you're addressing exactly the same problem I'm dealing with. How's that extra webbing holding up? I've duplicated this on my Pilots but I'm not confident the added straps will stay in place. I worry they'll loosen up over time with vibrations and jostling, and would prefer having more confidence

@MotoTherapy Год назад

So far so good with the webbing. Only a few short tips with them so far, though.

@allenr3551 Год назад

Do you want he sell them?

@MotoTherapy Год назад

@@allenr3551 Nope. They work well enough for me!

@abyields7831 Год назад

How much weight did she gain with the racks and mounting plates? As always very thorough video, thank you!

@MotoTherapy Год назад

I didn't weigh them (I should have), but the weight is significant. I'd guess it's about 15 lbs, all together.

@abyields7831 Год назад

@@MotoTherapy looking good though!

@jeffbrandenburg8672 10 месяцев назад

I have a 2023 Kawasaki, 650 KLR adventure and I recently purchased Tusk Olympus Panier bag mount plate, universal Panier rack. Is there a video that explains how to assemble the plates? Remember that this is universal not the regular plate. Any help would be appreciated.

@MotoTherapy 10 месяцев назад

I don’t have a video on just the plates-sorry! I hope you’re able to get it all sorted soon! I do like my rack now that it’s all together 👍

@jeffbrandenburg8672 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Have an awesome weekend!

@johnmartin7144 Год назад

I know you posted this several months ago; however, here goes. I ordered the exact same set up. Was your plate aluminum or steel? Mine arrived today and it was still, but advertised a aluminum!

@MotoTherapy Год назад

Mine is solid steel with no cutouts to help reduve weight. Nearly indestructable, but very heavy!

@johnmartin7144 Год назад

@@MotoTherapy Rocky Mountain ATV requested that I check my plate with a magnet based on a review I submitted. I placed a magnet on the plate and it did not adhere! I was shocked because I still do not believe it is aluminum! But, I have no idea what metal it could be. ?
