Thanks for the photos! I like both of your setups but the more I look at the E22's, the more I like them. I usually don't travel for more than one week at a time and I'm hoping the the 47L top case and two 22L side cases will be enough luggage. Did you find the PL frames easy to install?
Right side easy, left less so. Theres a fixing inside the rear peg hanger trapped between the hanger and silencer. It’s easy to misunderstand the instructions thinking you use the lug on the edge of the hanger, it’s not, it’s in behind it.
As for size, I did 10 days to Spain Nov last year with the E22s and just managed ok, but all space was taken and I had waterproofs strapped to pillion seat. This year with the bigger panniers, and some slightly more careful packing I had space to bring the wife some French treats home. But also, I had a bag in the E34 that had enough kit for the two nights on the way there which meant my lid went in it overnight, leaving just the holdall and tankbag to carry up to my room each night, and to my cabin on the overnight Cain ferry on the way back too.
