No problems there at all, Neil, but thanks for your concern.
I did worry about that when designing these bags and made the inboard hanging strap adjustable, just in case. The bottoms of the bag are 40mm above the mufflers at rest - pretty similar to normal hard panniers. With me on board that clearance increases.

Brunhilde looks superb Charlie.
One of the most capable and reliable airheads I know of, in the hands of an excellent pilot.

Far better off drying it before leaving Steve. Saves the worry of it blowing off the racks on the way there.
