I had no trouble fitting my Arkels on a Big Back Rack with the trusses. It's tight, but absolutely doable (the mounting clips are movable, which makes it work).

I mention this because the OP mentioned Nitto racks. My late model (w/ the corner truss reinforcements) Big Back Rack (size large) is NOT compatible with the Arkel mounting system because of the relative position of the trusses and cross pieces (the ones that connect L-R looking at the rack from above). The truss/ cross piece alignment is different on my wife's Big Back Rack (size small) and the Arkel's fit fine. --Andy On Tuesday, October 9, 2012 10:50:05 AM UTC-7, Don wrote: OK, having picked your brains quite successfully on the subject of lighting I now turn to the subject of panniers, front and rear. I have a very inexpensive Sunlight top bag and panniers and am looking to upgrade. These would be for several day trips for more extended open road touring. I have most of my camping gear but need to purchase panniers. I have now have front and rear Nitto racks on my Sam H. Any and all advice would be helpful including: new,used, brands, models, cheap, expensive. The while enchilada.
