What crash bars are those, they look great, not too bulky and will do the job.I've had a set of Jesse cases for about 9,000 miles. They're a bit utilitarian, but they're built like a tank. I've been on some technical Jeep trails i probably shouldn't have been on with the ST and went over a couple times, but they barely scratched. This is my "before" pic for a 4,700 mile trip from Virginia to south Texas via back roads:

Hepco and Becker. Exactly why I chose them. Didn’t want full scaffolding.What crash bars are those, they look great, not too bulky and will do the job.
Almost looks like a file cabinet.
And have the capacity and AERODYNAMICS of a file cabinet.Almost look like a file cabinet.
Unfortunately, it looks like a side entry which will not as easily function as an ice chest for roadside refreshments, although you might be able to lay out a six pack in an ice bed in the lowest part.And have the capacity and AERODYNAMICS of a file cabinet.
This looks like a great deal but does anyone know why the Brooks Pannier system won't work with the ES model?2013 OEM boxes...and then there was one.
Took my ride on Utah's Skyline drive (between Hwy 31 and 29) and my left box popped off and disappeared. Must have been over some washboard as the road wasn't that bumpy and I didn't hit anything. Retracked 25 miles hoping an ATV rider found it and set it on the side of the road. Full of my weather gear and a camping chair. So.... not a fan of the OEM's. Brooks Autosport boxes on the way. Hope I love them...the price is certainly good. On sale for $769 (was $1,099). Anyone have experience with them?

It seems odd that they won’t as I’ve installed the same SW Motech detachable racks on both the standard and ES bikes owned???This looks like a great deal but does anyone know why the Brooks Pannier system won't work with the ES model?
Maybe they just didn't verify the fit?This looks like a great deal but does anyone know why the Brooks Pannier system won't work with the ES model?
Unless that silver can interferes with how they mount it. Oe it's the side panel that is ES only. . . . that covers the can.Maybe they just didn't verify the fit?
I'll bet that's it. My Touratech racks came with a different and stronger can cover and use it as one of the mounting points. And they are silver also.Unless that silver can interferes with how they mount it. Oe it's the side panel that is ES only. . . . that covers the can.
