Anybody use tank panniers?
Wolfman has a set that I am considering for my trans-Labrador trip. However, I am a little concerned that they might interfere with my knees.

My buddy is buying a set for his KLR; the gas cap location doesn't allow a conventional tank bag.

The Uly works fairly well with a tank bag, so I've never considered tank panniers.

I considered tank panniers, but they make for too much bulk in front for me. Also didn't think I'd be happy with them riding at any speed. YMMV.

Yeah Froggy, thatswhat I thought when I saw them too. But I have a Uly not an 1125. Not sure how well these could mount on a Uly?
