are there symmetric side panniers racks available?

[robson]

for this bike? all I see on pictures asymmetric ones which I don't like.
I have 2x33l givi trekkers panniers from my previous bike.

these are not symmetrical racks, unless something is wrong with my eyes...

Define symmetric. I would call the ones in the pic above asymmetric. The exhaust on one side dictates that to a degree.

Sure, you can order the same size pannier for both sides from several vendors. Touratech, Happy Trails, Holan, etc. Ditto on soft bags.

Tell us what you're looking for and we will help point you in the right direction! Do you want both panniers to be the same size? Or stick out the same amount on both sides, taking in the exhaust into consideration? There are panniers with a cut out for the exhaust. I'm not a fan of that, preferring a strait rectangular pannier for function. You may prefer otherwise. That's fine, just help us to understand what you're after.

Closest ones to symmetry Ive found are the Givi quik release Monokey racks... I added a couple of thick washers on the R/H upper mount bolts but thats about as much as they will move.
Still appx 1-1.5" diff in width R & L

As Eric said, I guess we need to define symmetric. The Metal Mule racks present a symmetrical and flat mounting surface on both sides:

.....as opposed to something asymmetrical like this (which make it impossible to mount standard soft bags like the Mosko's of Givi's):

 

[thughes317]

I suppose I am referring to the shape of the rack itself (from the perspective of symmetry), it sounds as though you are looking for symmetry as it relates to width from the center line of the bike?

 

[robson]

Yes, related to the center of the bike, how else?
as I wrote, I have same size 2 givi trekker 33l panniers and I want identical size left/right racks,
so they stick out same distance from the center of the bike accordingly. I just hate look of asymmetrical side racks
as well as panniers.

I think Happy Trail Racks are centered. I can measure tomorrow and let you know.

 

[Longdog Cymru]

Surely when the OP is referring to symmetrical he means that the racks are an equal distance from the centre line of the motorcycle?

The exhaust on the left side of the SuperTen dictates that the left rack is further from the centre line which is asymmetric and therefore, the Metal Mule racks are asymmetric.

Jesses bags, are the closest I've found to what you are looking for


Pics were taken off google search, but I did have the 10" Odyssey bags on my Tenere, and loved them.

I use holan nomada the left rack is shaped around the exhaust so making the panniers narrower

If you are looking for symmetrical racks to mount your Givi Trekkers, you may have a tough time finding something. All can envision is a set of racks that include a right-side rack that is artificially extended out to be the same distance from MC center line as the left side rack (as necessitated by the muffler). Let us know if you come across said animal.....I'm curious as well.

Since he's wanting to mount the Givi Trekker Monokey cases....the Givi quik release racks are closest

From the rear mounting bolt point they are both 6” from the frame. Look pretty centered to me.

 

[cycledelic relic]

But ..do the HT racks have an option to mount Monokey cases....which are what he wants to use....
Yes...it is an optional ugly looking plate

I still say the Givi racks are the cleanest option & get the cases within 1-1.5" of being equal width from center. Longer R/H bolts & thicker spacers might evenbring that to .5" diff....hardly visible

I concur....

 

[robson]

wonder what racks are used here as looks symmetrical for givi trekkers but as I look at givi mount PL2119 is not symmetrical...

 

[cycledelic relic]

Those look like they may be on the PLR2119 quik release racks which are the ones Ive been referring to.....still not symetrical....but very close
