You know, if you just want to lube the chain on your Strom, a centerstand would probably be a better option.
I can't bear to delete that pic; it makes me giggle (and not feel so badly about mine being down).Tourmeister said:I had Givi on my VFR 800's and loved them! Very tough, never leaked a drop, and incredibly convenient and easy to use.
For the R1150GS, I went with the Jesse's. Tough as nails but they did get wet inside. Once I ground down the outside leading corners of them while going through a few tight corners, they drained fine They also take abuse pretty well...
I saw 'somewhere' a mount system that would accept softbags AND Al panniers! I like the idea of that: soft bags for local commute/trips, the Al panniers for long distance/duration trips.DaveC said:http://www.mo-tech.de/
Use the SW motech mounts and put soft bags on?
My question to you is if the boxes you had on your GS were that heavy, how it affected the handling (if at all), and how the heck did you pick up the bike with those on?
*That's* always a plus!!!!Tourmeister said:The Jesse's also make excellent campground stools. My Givi's would not work in that capacity.
I would if I could but I can't afford to invest that much into panniers considering.treysmagna said:Just mounted a set of Al Jesse panniers on my R100GS. All I can say is that they are the best investment I have made so far. These things are bullet proof
