Great photo's. Although looks a rugged landscape, ideal for the MT.
I like the panniers. :D

Nice photos, like your panniers too, what make are they, and how did you fit them.

Looks like a great trip! Did a Roadtrip myself but stayed on the safe tarmac most of the time.

Panniers were on my old AfricaTwin, mark is Giwi. They were cracked, but i repaired them with "Lego method" and i painted them olive green. I made DIY support frame to them using Giwi's original mountings (see picture from Hetta), so i can take them off when i want :)

PS. I have to explain "Lego method", someone might want to repair fairings and plastic panniers with this system too.
1. clean broken area wiping it with acetone
2. steal few Lego blocks from your or your neighbour's children
3. take a class jar, pour few ml acetone in it, drop lego blocs in
4. close jar, wait next morning
5. now you have syrup like thick liquid or mass
6. with wooden stick (from icecream, they are good) fill repaired area using a lot of mass
7. if repaired area is big, you may use small metal net piece to support
8. let dry open air, do not try with heatblower
I also repaired my fairings of Africa twin with this method years ago

Sounds like a good repair method especially if you dislike your neighbour's kids. Well done.
