    They are the hepco-becker racks that came with the 950 in 2005-2006, etc.
    I also have the hepco-becker racks on my Mrs. F650GS for her Wolfman bags.

    In both cases we just use the velcro wolfman mounts wrapped around the rails - the velcro works surprisingly great!
    I've been riding aggressively offroad with the setup for years with zero issues. I even got some spare velcro rings from Wolfman when I first got the bags but I've never needed one; the originals have no sign of wear.

    As long as your hoop diameter is small enough the back of the bag won't go through it - you can mount them on pretty much anything using the velcro d-rings.

    Keener: I haven't seen anything as fast as 1.4 in e-mount yet. Hopefully soon! :freaky

    Thank you for your response Geek. I love the KTM, but love my Tiger 955i to much to switch, so I got a KLR for the tough stuff. Please keep the great pictures coming.

    I like when riders are skillful enough to let their beasts take a nap on the right place. Like this case, on the clean, soft and refreshing snow... :D

    What are you doing over there? :scratch

    Ditches have two uses:
    1)water drainage
    2) passing asshat harleys that are holding up traffic (bonus points if you can actually roost them from the ditch on the way by)

    :lurk

    That is a dirt road, so the passing-a-Harley excuse is not plausible.

    Have to go with the passing-a-GS excuse.

    Less effort required. And no hearing protection.
