Hi all. Just picked up a new to me 2013 S10. It is outfitted with the factory panniers. I understand some think they are small, but believe it or not they are probably 3x as large as some old GIVIs I had on my Tiger 1050 - I could barely fit a lunch in those!
Anyway, my 1050 had a GIVI top case, maybe 46L(?), which I would use on trips primarily for my tent since it was long enough to accommodate. My trips are typically 4-6 days long, mix of hotel and camping, and I ride one-up, so I don't need a ton of space. Mainly enough for clothes, tent, pad, sleeping bag, minor cooking accessories (backpacking equipment mainly), and fly fishing gear.
Given my larger pannier capacity and lack of need for a substantial amount of hard storage, I am thinking about getting something like this (https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-motech-350-35l-roll-top-hi-viz-dry-bag) vs. having to buy a top case and related mount. I would probably use the dry bag/duffel for my camping gear, leaving the panniers for the rest.
Any thoughts? I like the SW-Motech bag linked above (not sure if I would want 35L or 60L?), but would like to hear of any experiences with those or recommendations for others.
Thanks!
