jimmy2020 · 10-31-2009, 06:21 PM

how about a specific thread on luggage setups (soft or hard)?

I second the motion . . .

Although I plan to get the HB racks and use my Ortleib backroller bags.

Hey: I just set this up for the past weekend, I rode about 100 miles to a Dual Sport event and camped out.

Please excuse the dirt.

I have the Touratech Large Rear Luggage Rack and Tail Bag. I added a cycle guys extender to it. I left on the extender and the small bag
for the trail ride.

The Wolfman Beta Tail Bag is U shaped, and fits over the Touratech Tail Bag, which I keep on the bike all the time with Tools Etc.

I keep the tent, sleeping bag, and cloths etc in the wolfman bag.

I have the wolfman Enduro Tank Bag up front.

I still need more space however, and wore a back pack with extra cloths, jacket, sneakers etc.

Notice the additional gas tank, more pic's here

I still could use some more room. I'm working on that.

You are not excused. It is completely unacceptable to have a dirty dirt bike.

The maxxed out set up

I was trying to decide to use the ortlieb bicycle panniers or the ortlieb motorcycle panniers and so for a while I used both and had a near empty tail bag.

But it was for a 7 month ride.

very nice photo!

The TT pannier setup has served me well, with a small tailbag. A one week trip, you can pack pretty light. Watch out for the unlatched lid, though - they come off around 50 mph, and go as high as 25 feet in the air.......
according to reports.....

I ran the following from Wolfman, Ridgeline Duffel, Enduro Tank Bag, Tank Panniers, Xcarry and a Fenderbag
Sonymalc ran the REVPACK Tour Pack, Wolfman Tank bag and panniers and a Moose Fender bag.

Here's a pic with just the ortlieb bicycle panniers and the ortlieb roll bag.
