    I found a used set of zega pro and I'm seriously thinking of getting them however they both are the largest 45l, I think as a minimum I need to lower the exhaust or I'll use a lane and a half riding..
    Does anyone have this set up? Any picture would be great so that I can get an idea how humongous the thing will look...

    I believe Touratech makes specific racks for mounting the pros to your bike. Doesn't the left hand pannier have the cutout for the exhaust? If so these racks allow for this so both bags will only stick out the same amount. It also appears that they sell adapters to use the pro cases on the classic Zega racks, without the old classic "Special Racks" that wrap around the muffler, you would probably have to get an adapter to lower your pipe.

    Of course if the deal comes with the R1200GS or R800GS racks you could probably sell those to recover some of the costs for new racks/adapters.

    If you go this route, with or without the pro racks or adapters, let us know and please post a pic

    You can also just remove your muffler and connect a 90degr bend (if you have catalytic convertor). Sound should be fine then
