The bike handled exactly as expected, a bit heavier, but no problem at all. We hit a variety of road conditions, motorway, A road, urban roads, roadworks with narrow lanes. All were fine, though there was a lot of traffic so I never really got to fully open the throttle. The loading and unloading were fine. No real glitches or problems. I want to make one or two minor adjustments to how the bags load on the rack, but nothing to worry about. All good. Ready to go.

It does bring a whole new meaning to "travelling light". It all pretty much fits, this has been tested. One pannier has mostly bike stuff, tools etc, and waterproofs, the other has electronics, digicam ,EeePC etc, and wash stuff (in two separate waterproof bags). Most clothes fit into the bag on the bag. There will also be a small rucksack on top of the rear bag held in place with a cargo net, it is mostly empty, it will help when unpacking the panniers. There is also a small bag mounted behind the windshield for passports, documents, coins for tolls, shades and stuff.
