The right size saddlebags

[rbike_imp]

Ah, I just eye balled it and my bag looked bigger.

I bought the medium as I needed to hold tent and my sleeping pad in one bag - the medium fit the bill. It was originally bought for the Griso at last years National Rally and it was to go across the bike - I also wanted to limit just how wide it could go and some what limit how much mass would be put in it. Over loaded it could affect handling in a bad way.

I got black, mainly because I got the Giant Loop in yellow, and after getting it, think black would have been a better choice. My motivation for the color.

It works so well I've been tempted to get a second one and hang them off like bags (on the Griso anyway).

Anyway, for long weekends when I hotel it, tanks bag and the duffle are plenty. Tenting, then the duffle gets the big stuff and I use saddlebags for the usual stuff and my sleeping bag. Still, a second bag is not a bad idea.

I came across another called the SW-MOTECH 600 60L Roll-Top Hi-Viz Dry Bag at revzilla (http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-mo...-dry-bag). As its name implies, it is a 60 liter for less ($124) than the 47L large Wolfman ($138). The drybag 600 only comes in 1 size (really big) vs the wolfman 3 sizes (33L, 40L, 47L). For all, does anyone know of any significant differences?

I do not know what type of support either has on the bottom, but I may add a thin (1/4" to 1/2")piece of starboard (think of as plastic sheet metal) on the bottom if I go across the rear rack vs on the seat and rack.
