I've held off buying a set of bags for the RXC for a long time. Never found anything that really fit the entire bill. This is looking pretty damn close.

Is there a "max width" that the back of the bike can be? (or for that matter, minimum width?) Like if I get a set for my KTM now, will it fit on the GS800/Wee/Whatever my next long distance bike is? Or are streetbikes too wide?

I guess I don't have a handle on how much of the bag shape is pre-formed, and how much of it is from having it fixed to the bike.

Also, does stuff inside need to be drybagged, or does the GL do an acceptable job of it?
