I have a DL 650 2020 Reg. I am looking for suitable pannier racks to use with soft luggage. I have looked at several but none seem to clear the exhaust which with soft luggage would be a problem. Has anyone any suggestions please.

I use the dirt racks dry bag set up. Kinda minimalistic. Can't imagine having trouble mounting just about anything to them.

Happy Trail carriers are designed for any kind of luggage you like, can accept a tool box or auxilliary tray, clear the muffler (I'd still put a heat shield on it, personally), and fit correctly without any drama (unlike the Hepco & Becker I tried years ago). And they're good folks.
