KLR saddle bags

Post by Laoch »

Advice, thoughts and personal experience being sought.

I need more storage on the pig and I don't want hard cases, would prefer not to have a rack, not worried about security or water proof.
I have a top case already which I'll replace with a top bag when it finally breaks.

I'm looking at Ortlieb Thin dry bags and maybe the Dirt Bagz Scout.

I have a set of fieldshier saddlebags I use for my klx250 and my fz6. Top quality material and stitching. Also has good reflectors. Good zippers and mounting straps. I tried a lesser brand and they had weak stitching. Here is a link. http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/Fie ... 8803786252

yEH dirty the racks come with the bags or can be purchased seperately, If you look at any of the pics you'll see the black bar under the side panels that holds the bags, let me know and I can get some close ups for ya :brows:
