good product!
i mounted it inside a peli 1520eu case. it works! cool! but i wish there would be a better lock! thiefs can probably steal it with a paperclip in a few seconds. is there any other locking method you would recommend?
Don Smith –
I love these mounts! Great as i have 2 bikes and the racks they mount on are the same bar diameter and i can swap these from bike to bike in about 2 mins and be on my way! Super sturdy and well made, love them!

Looking forward to my summer trip with these racks mounted with GL’s Around The World panniers. I appreciate the ability to go back to hard cases when I need that utility. When the racks are off, nothing is left behind. They could not be easier to use on my touratech racks and fit perfectly. The locking feature is very handy as well. While it won’t stop a determined thief it’s convenient and will slow down an opportunist.
abdullah –
does it fit Royal enfield himalayan ?
Paul Robson –
Yes if your side luggage rack uses round tubing that is 16-18mm in diameter.
harold –
Yes! Check out ADV Pulse’s Himalayan.

Purchased round the world panniers and mounts, best mounting system I have seen. On an off in seconds and really great quality. Been on my KTM 1090 r for year now with lots of hard riding and not a single issue. Going to purchase a second set of pannier mounts for for my Tour Tec hard boxes.

These quick detach, locking pannier backing plate mounts w/RotoPax capability have set the standard for the industry for minimalistic, light weight, high quality functionality & are one of the few options to allow these features for soft luggage. Having similar convenience for quick detach & lockability to the bike as with hard luggage for soft luggage cannot be overstated, particularly for dual sport & adv genres! They add welcome versatility/convenience for the GL Moto Trekk & Round The World Soft luggage as well as for most soft & hard bags…thank you Harold & GL 🙂
Fitment Issues for racks larger than 18 mm diameter tubing & with welded center bar: GL Pannier Mounts are designed for the industry standard 16-18 mm rack diameter tubing & unfortunately do not work with my 3/4″ or 19.05 mm diameter powder coated (19.2 mm) tubing DirtRacks HD Soft Luggage Racks without modification . The lower clamps are slightly wider at the open end with angled surfaces near the upper portion of the clamp so will fit diameters from approximately 16 to almost 19 mm, but the upper locking clamp is a uniform shape that required removal of the rack powder coat & buffing of the tubing to allow the locking latch to close enough for the locking pin to align with the hole. Another issue is that the GL Pannier Mounts upper locking clamp will not completely close enough for the locking pin to function because of interference with the welded on center bar for mounting a Rotopx, when used in the standard center position…although the GL locking assembly has pre-drilled holes permitting relocating it left or right of center…. a side effect of moving the upper clamp assembly off-centre left or right is that the opposite side of the backing plate will flex & benefits from a rubber spacer between the rack & the GL backing plate.
It would have been nice if the upper mount assembly could also have vertical adjustment capability, but unfortunately, as noted in the very thorough WebBikeWorld Review, it cannot be moved down to facilitate mounting the bags higher…however, the lower clamps accommodate several vertical & horizontal position. GL should also include a thumb screw bolt for each of the lower bar clamps vs just 1 to prevent rattling…each clamp is threaded, but only 1 thumb screw bolt provided. Note that the GL MotoTrekk back center strap w/magnetic clasp will not work with the pannier mount upper locking assembly located in the center (normal) position, but will if it is relocated to the left or right position, but is not really needed as the mount accommodates the 4 side straps & the 2 upper straps.

I recently purchased the Mototrekk panniers. I kinda kicked myself for not getting these at the same but then my wife surprised me with them for my birthday. These mounts are really nice and versatile. I have hard panniers by another manufacture but these mounts in combination with the Mototrekk panniers may just be my new favorite set-up. I’ve taken them on several day rides and they are rock solid, no rattles or worrying about if they will come off unexpectedly. Looking forward to putting them through a few BDR’s this summer.

I recently purchased the Giant loop rack system. It goes great on a BMW F850GSA, provided that you purchase the adapters for the exhaust (right) side of the bike. They are heavy duty and can adapt to different pannier systems. Very happy with this purchase after 6 months using it.

I’ve had these mounts for a few months now, they are super convenient once you get them set up. Easy on and off. I have them mounted to some Ortlieb bags ( for now) on some outback Mototek pannier racks. It’s nice to have to locking mechanism and side note in my case I needed to reverse the direction the lock was facing on one side and I was able to reverse it with a little tinkering. Also do keep an eye on the knurled threaded screw that sort of pins the mount to the bar, I had mine backed out and forgot to tighten it before a ride and it rattled out somewhere on the highway.Not a big deal, it’s still very secure but it rattles a little now.
Jake Barlow –
I like the flexibility of these racks and how they work with *most racks. I have the Hepco & Becker racks and find that these mounts “swim” around and rattle a lot. The thumb screws that came with it are useless as they can’t screw in far enough to grip the H&B tubes. Maybe the problem is with the rack, because in hindsight, they seem kind of puny and not nearly as tough as these mounting plates.
Ron –
Will it work with a Motone Customs rack on a 2011 Triumph T100? Thank you.
Tiffany Ferraro –
If the rack has round tubing 16-18mm in diameter with flat vertical sides, then it will!
Inca pagny –
Hello,
The paniers hooked up to my Himalayan bs6 perfectly I also bought the mototrekk 50 Lts and my exhaust side bag touches the exhaust I’m afraid it might burn through is there a trick to it or is the bag resistant to the heat or maybe you guys make a spacer? If not, I’m thinking of maybe making a half inch spacer for all the mounts on that side just to get more clearance on the exhaust
Steve –
Hi, I have rack of DirtyRacks with round tubing 3/4″, or 19.05mm in diameter. Will mounts still be working with my rack? Thank you.
Tiffany Ferraro –
Hello Steve,
Our mounts are designed to be used round tubing of 15-18mm in diameter.

I recently purchased the2022 KLR 650 Adventure and needed some luggage racks. I researched all the various luggage racks on the market and then made my purchase of these racks. When I received them, I knew I made the best decision. The construction, fit and finish were excellent. All the hardware was included (not always the case, right?). The installation was easy. Best of all the racks worked perfectly and the ease of putting them on and taking them off with the luggage fasten to them was outstanding. My fellow adventure riders were impressed with the racks as well. I have recommended these racks to my friends. If concerned with the price, when you get these, those concerns will quickly fade away. They are that good.
