I haven't loaded up the panniers but I've ridden a fair amount double up with my wife onroad and light offroad. The only thing is that factory it's pretty road-tuned in terms of suspension, which I don't mind but my wife sometimes does (mostly when potholes are involved). I believe fahni has a pretty good ride report too, he was probably pretty loaded down on his trip!

Few more pics, I had forgotten that I ordered this with the boxes! I've now ordered the bag inserts too- they didn't have them listed at the time I ordered, 50RMB for 2 bags was worth a shot.

I'm thinking I'll probably swap out the straps for some simple velcro or snaps, while it's cool looking it's just not convenient for access to the tank.

More aluminum!

I mounted it just above the bottom of the box (leaving enough room to open the latch)
It sticks out now just shy of my license plate, so it's not too big

BTW this extra gas can is a "gift" to all my friends on their R9s who call me when they run out of gas. I got tired of bungee-ing my 10L steel can to the back.
