I know It's been asked and I searched for it, but I have yet to find a straight answer. Do the aftermarket exhaust pipes have clearance issues with the Moto Guzzi semi rigid saddlebags on a Griso. Zard & QD, primarily. Thanks in advance!
 
I can say from experience that the offerings from QUAT-D and ARROW are both compatible with factory panniers.
 
Based on simple observances, the Zard exits very similarly to the stock muffler, where-as the Agostini (below) has an upsweep to it, and clearly works with the factory bags.

Phang can confirm the ZARD one way or the other.

Sorry guys, I am late to the party.

I don't use bags on my Griso so no first hand experience to share but it does look very close to the nylon bag from this photo.

RonS's bike from advrider with Mistral.

The bottom photo in Todd's post is of my Griso with a Mistral carbon cone. It clears the stock soft bags with an inch to spare when they are loaded. Here's a closeup:

Thanks for posting that here. Google images brings up your above image on a search, but I knew I had seen it before.

Might as well show the whole thing, then. On a trip from VA to IN, stopped at Point Pleasant, WV, to pay homage to the infamous Mothman.

Hi,

Maybe something like this?
You can make your own space, the space you need.
Buy a exhaust, which you like to see and hear and make the bags fit your bike.
I always have used throwover saddlebags, I can use them at nearly any bike.

I enjoy my G12 with a Mistral High Rise Carbon exhaust.
And I do go on holiday with this beautiful peace of machinery...
The saddlebags, I have them for over 30 years now. They have bin all over Europe...
This was during a ride through Italy, a hotel trip (no tent at the back of the saddle).
Why doesn't it burn...?
That's why...

During that same holiday in front of "The Holy Gate"...
What have I done?
I took some Iron...
Bend a bit, make some holes and weld some parts...
The result works fine, I can remove the supports at the side.
A little support along the rear stays, to ty things on the saddle.
In this way:

I hope I have given you some ideas, ideas to solve minor problems.
This works for me, it's cheap and not massive big.
