I would have paid double for the GPS if it showed unpaved roads differently from paved roads.
Looks very good. I find the sissybar useful for strapping down my waterproof bags when I travel. It is hidden in this photo; it helps keep the bags from sliding back.
Carl S, what waterproof bags are you using? I'm in the market and open to suggestions. Also, what size(s) would you recommend? I prefer to travel as light as possible. Looking at "best" options for weekend camping/fishing trips and I like the look of your setup.
I'd like to add what are the advantages/disadvantages to seat and rack bags vs duffel bags?
Chad, these are waterproof bags that I also use for kayaking. They are known as "dry bags". I have one large (the black one) and one medium (the blue one). I got them at an outdoor shop. They work really well and definitely keep things dry. I use tie down straps to secure them and then I hook two cargo nets together to cover them. That lets me put small items under the net with out having to repack - such as extra layers of clothes as the day gets warmer.
For me, the advantage is that I can use the dry bags on the motorcycle and on kayak trips. The large size holds more than seat bags and rack bags.
That dryspec D38 is a good looking bag. However I have less than half the cost of tne D38 invested in my two dry bags.
