 the 10" ones are significantly narrower than anything else out there, AND they're only 1.5" wider than the jesse's on my dakar! but since i'm going to be leaving them on all the time, i think the 8" would be much more practical' |

What's so special about those cases?
Are they more rigid/reliable that any other? ZEGA/TRAX/OEM? They have quite special shape - cut angles, that seems a bit strange as they cut useful space, what is the purpose for that? |

I think Jesse hit a home run with them.

Found mine! Those are SWEET! Now I wonder if I could get my dealer to order them for me so I can put 'em on the loan for the moto...

The bevel cuts give you more ability to paddle along with your feet in sand and mud without risking your lower legs, and the outside bevel allows for more lean angle without catching the bottom outside edge of the bags on the road. It's a fairly well thought-out system. I'm placing my order tomorrow, and I haven't even taken delivery of my bike yet! David
