Does this look right?

[Fat Rat]

I got my pannier rails back from the powder coaters today    I know the luggage on the 650 is lopsided due to the exhaust clearance but does this look right? I don't think I have done anything daft 

[Rusty Nuts]

Both side panniers the same size? Standard exhaust? The gap does look big, but you can't have assembled the rails wrongly. They just wouldn't go.






















Or would they?....

[Brockett]

Swap side boxes over. The one on the exhaust side should be thinner than the one on the left.

[Rusty Nuts]

On the blue one, also.

[Fat Rat]

The panniers are both 33l

[Barbel Mick]

I have a 46l on the n/s & a 33l on the o/s, that way the bike is symmetrical when  looking at it from the rear.
I have a photo of them looking at the bike the same as you've posted Fat Rat but not on this tablet, if you want me to, I'll post it when I get home tomorrow.......if I remember! 
The photo is on this forum somewhere but I can't find it.

The panniers are both 33l

Ah, that's the issue. You need a 33L and a 33R.

[Joe Rocket]

That can only be wrong if the panniers have reflective red stickers on them.

I have the same volume panniers on my 650 despite the exhaust. It's only a question of aesthetics and remember the wider side when parking.

Not the best picture but this is the Givi quick release rails.

Here you go Andy, as promised. 
Looking at your photo & mine, your o/side pannier rail seems to sit further away from the exhaust? It may just be the camera angle but the gaps do seem different.
2 photos, one with measurements.   
46l, n/s .... 33l o/s

If you look at the distance of the rh frame and rh indicator, they seem the same between yours and MB's.
The optical illusion is your exhaust being in a different position.
My Sons Glee has the Delkevic exhaust closer to the rail than yours?

[Joe Rocket]

Surely this can only be visual. My boxes are the same size and the frames are different because of the exhaust. Did the powder coaters paint the frames a different colour..... 

[Barbel Mick]

Dark-Strom  yes I saw the distance on the right hand side was different but I didn't spot the different exhausts. 
Vstrom650's & mine are OEM & Fat Rats & your lads, after market. They are smaller circumference & no heat guard, making the gap look wider. 

[Rusty Nuts]

I asked the exhaust question, got no reply.

[Barbel Mick]

  I didn't notice that either Rusty! I blame that heat in Spain!! 

[Joe Rocket]

So a non event Fat Rat,  lot of fuss about nothing?   

[The Doctor 46]

The top box looks cute though. 

[Fat Rat]

Sorry, I missed the exhaust question. It's a Delkevic titanium jobby
