Saddle Bags

[rboe]

While I tend to agree on the looks of a rear rack, I opted for the Hondaline one after a rally "forced" me to get the Guzzi rear rack for my Griso. It's a slippery slope as now the Griso sports a Giva top case (it may move to the 650L and I'll upsize to a larger case). I had purchased a Wolfman medium dry duffle to take over sized camping items and needed the rack to hold the duffle.

On the Death Valley trip on the CB this duffle and tank bag were my only luggage items and it worked very well. If I get a larger Givi for the Griso it'll be used on the CB too. Locking luggage is the bee's knee's. I really miss my locking panniers I had on the Quota. But they look good on adventure bikes, not so well on standards. Although it can be done.

I added Klick-It mounts to my Ortliebs, they clip on to the Griso Saddle bag mounts (soft bags) very nicely and are waterproof - unlike the Griso factory bags. I'd really like to get a set of mounts welded up for the CB so I can use them.
