I think the Saddleman is a little bigger...longer, anyway. They are VERY close.

I think the Saddlemen is about double the cost of yours.

Nice job, Ratman.    I've been gone all weekend, and I almost missed this whole deal!

Thanks D1 it is 16 long x 12 high x 11.5 wide, and it is really well made, ...

That appears to be about the same size as the Saddlemen Drifter, is that correct?

I'm interested to see how you installed it . I have the Viking bag with studs , similar to what you just installed . Mine plan was to use a cutting board underneath the rack to install . I believe Troll did his in this fashion , but not sure if it will slip side to side ?

  I thought about this for a bit now and the reason I used the big knobs is because now without tools I can remove the trunk and go back to 2 packs.

I can make it short and sweet and put it in the Mods tips section if people want it.

Hey R man like to see this install added to the mod/tip section .

PC that bag does fit Ratmans bike nicely . Looks a lot less cluttered from last years trip .

Troll . 45 for travel safety is a good choice . Surprised it isn't carried in the inside pocket so you can shoot on the go if need be  ;D

I keep my .45 inside a gallon size zip bag inside it's case when I'm traveling...

Yes sir plastic and zip lock bags are the key to DRY things , as we military troops all know  ;) It's funny I pack all my socks , britches and essentials in zip lock bags , even if were going on a family vacation . You should see the look on the airport scanners as my bags roll through  :D Guess being in the military this long , it has become a habit to pack such a way .

Yes, there are locks on all the buckles, save one. I have them because the saddlebags came with them to "lock" the buckles, and they were just laying around, doing nothing. I decided to put them on before I lost one or two, and besides...they are CHROME!!!!!!!

I bought this bag last year, and I used it on a couple of trips. Now smart army lad like yourself you know that prevention is the answer. I always use plastic bags to pack my kit in, just in case. On one trip I ran into a really nice rain storm, I managed to get my rain gear on and then it was too late for the rain cover for the pack but having everything in plastic nothing got wet, now I keep the rain cover outside under my net when it looks bad....
