I have an '03, and try as I might I'm not able to get a helmet in either
side. Schuberth S1 and a Shoei (old, not sure model). Would be
interested to know which full-faces do fit in.
Encouraged by all the reports of getting helmets to fit in the ST
panniers, I went out this evening and tried the various instructions
provided to see if I could get my Schuberth into a pannier. I am
delighted to say that eventually I worked it out - visor pointing towards
front of bike, with top of helmet facing up, in the RH pannier it fits!
Quite why this is a combination I had not tried before is unknown to me -
but I am also useless at things like those metal and wood puzzles that
turn up as Christmas presents - I can usually get them apart but not back
together again... (and I have never cracked the Rubik Cube either...).
Anyhow - thanks to all for the hints. Great result.
Ever the optimist, does anyone know how to stop them leaking? Was on a
brief tour through Europe two weeks ago (ride report coming when I can
write it - in interim some photos here: http://homepage.mac.com/
glawrie/Bike_Trips/Menu.html ) and two nights it rained and the following
mornings I had to dry out the panniers (about half a cup of water in
each). Contents actually got wet during the one wet day of riding.
During the late 80s and 90s I had bikes with Krauser Panniers (two
different models) - and they never ever leaked, and I'm told Givi's are
the same... why the ST has to have such inferior kit when rest of bike
is so good is beyond me.
