I didn't like the price much but once I got them, the versatility is very apparent. I don't use the straps they came with as it's just too many straps and end clamps to mess with so I just use a rox strap on the front part to hold it w/pass grab rails and a normal strap on the end under the swmotech rack. I cinch down the bottom bag then.... what's cool, is I use the handle for the D38 to strap down the top bag... it's just velcro but it's not going anywhere so you can quickly get that bag - my tent - 1st and it's also the last thing on the bike... Also, if you have some rain gear or a jacket liner you want to put away quickly, you can undo the velcro and put it between the two bags and cinch it back down.ThatsLife said:Those TT DrySpec bags look the business! Nice setup! I've been contemplating that D38 and it looks like it sandwiches in nicely between the Jesse's.
How do like the DrySpec bags, Mellow?
Thanks! The good stuff doesn't come cheap I've found. There's always so much anxiety leading up to clicking on "submit order" but it goes away pretty quickly.Mellow said:I didn't like the price much but once I got them, the versatility is very apparent.

Racesbikes said:So what kind of tools and other motorcycle related emergency stuff you guys bring?? I have a buddy with a KTM and he takes what seems like everything including a extra battery, lots of water, and a backpack (last two just in case he needs to hike out for assistance).
1978 Tenere. Awesome.Motowalt said:Not an ST, but still a Yamaha..
1978 XS 750 triple...back in the day.
My brother and I rode all around Colorado two up camping all the way...even took our fishing rods...that was an epic adventure!
The XS never missed a beat, even at altitude.
Nice picture coastie!! Looks like you have the packing down. Does not look enough for a three week trip... ::008::coastie said:Camping gear and rider on a three week trip.
On one pannier I had my roll up pad, 1man tent, and tripod chair, the other pannier I had my rain fly, sleeping bag, tools, ground tarp, and odd and ends. Drybags had under ware, socks workout cloths (stuff I did not care if it got stolen). In the top case I had a few clothes, electronics, wet/cold weather riding gear. It was all about 150lbs. I think I can get it lighter the next time. although I will be upgrading to a 3 person tent, that might not fit in the pannier. The camping was not full out self supported camping, although to add a stove and meals would not have taken up that much more space. I would have done away with some clothes and had plenty of room.japako said:Nice picture coastie!! Looks like you have the packing down. Does not look enough for a three week trip... ::008::
