If you get really lucky the orange weight vs. speed sticker is still on the inside of the pannier lid. Only ever seen one...

Was considering a relocate of the car battery to give me more sleeping space in the chair, but the weights are off
 BAlance

Does anyone consistently and safely run around 12kg in a single pannier?

Stick the battery in it and tie the bugger on. Ain't no balance problem - it's a chair innit?

Should I feel any embarrassment at routinely loading 15kg/30+ lbs in each side when maxi-touring, cross continent?

I was concerned only about the weight, just couldn’t ignore that gift of a gif.

I too come from the camp of as much crap as you can jam in it. Also i put a rok strap a round the whole works to avoid losing a bag or the contents.

On a side note I also have several liners so pack my stuff in them and normally keep a set packed and ready to go. Well went on a trip with my brother and a friend and didn't even ask my wife if she wanted to go. So when I called her to let her know i was alright and stopping for the night (someplace in up state NY) she informed me that she was not pleased that I left my dirty stuff in a bag at the bottom of the stairs....sure enough my wardrobe for that trip was all souvenir tees and sweats.
