In brief. On the KTM 790 Adventure and 890 Adventure, the Wanderer semi-rigid cases are mounted on LOBOO JP221B side frames, in the 40 + 30-liter configuration. The original KTM frames are not compatible: the Wanderer cases attach only to frames with 18 mm tubing and the LOBOO drilling pattern.
The case set does not include the frames, which are purchased separately.
What is needed for the 790 and 890 Adventure
| Component | Code | Product sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Wanderer semi-rigid cases, 40 + 30 L, with two 20 L waterproof bags | BCB4030TBK | Wanderer |
| LOBOO side frames for KTM 790 and 890 Adventure, with hardware, threaded inserts, and tool | JP221B | JP221B frames |
Why 40 + 30 and the P35 template
The JP221B frames are asymmetrical: the left side is sized for a 35-liter PIKE TRACKER case, while the right side, on the exhaust side, is sized for a 30-liter case. On the Wanderer cases, this asymmetry becomes a 40 + 30 configuration: the narrower case goes on the right.
The Wanderer mounting plate comes factory-drilled for PIKE TRACKER P45 frames. For the P35 series, the mounting points must be moved to the template with a 318 × 204 mm bolt spacing, already provided on the plate: this only needs to be done once.
Installation summary
- Install the JP221B frames by following their manual.
- On the case, move the plate mounting points to the PIKE TRACKER P35 template and tighten the screws to 8 N·m using the included hex key.
- Close the roll-top by rolling it twice and secure the top buckle.
- Attach the case to the frame and close the side lock.
All steps, with illustrated drilling templates, are provided in the installation guide for the semi-rigid motorcycle cases.

Soft or aluminum panniers for the 790 and 890 Adventure
The PIKE TRACKER 35 + 30-liter aluminum panniers also fit the same JP221B frames: you can find them in the PIKE TRACKER kit for KTM 790 and 890 Adventure, which includes the frames. Aluminum offers better protection against impacts and break-ins; the Wanderer panniers weigh less, detach by hand like a bag, and include the dry bags.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Wanderer panniers fit the original KTM frames?
No. The Wanderer panniers attach only to side frames with 18 mm tubing and the LOBOO drilling pattern. The 790 and 890 Adventure require the LOBOO JP221B frames.
Does the 790 Adventure use the 40 + 30 or the 40 + 40?
The 40 + 30. The JP221B frames are asymmetrical: the 30-liter pannier goes on the right side, the exhaust side.
Does the pannier plate need to be modified?
You need to move the mounting points according to the PIKE TRACKER P35 template, which is already marked on the plate, and tighten the screws to 8 N·m. This only needs to be done once, using the included hex key.
Are the frames included in the pannier set?
No, the Wanderer set includes two panniers and two 20 L dry bags. The JP221B frames are sold separately.
Are they waterproof?
The manufacturer declares an IPX6 rating: they withstand heavy rain and water jets, but not immersion. Water resistance also depends on the roll-top, which must be rolled down twice.
