- May 11, 2014, 09:58:55 AMHey 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

- May 11, 2014, 08:50:08 AMYes 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 
Guess being in the military this long , it has become a habit to pack such a way .

- May 11, 2014, 08:06:17 AMYes, 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....

- May 10, 2014, 21:39:04 PMI would imagine it will hold up just fine . Definitely enough room for your Drift-in run now with this bag and looks nice on the bike as well . Funny I was looking at bags earlier today for the rear rack on the 1500 and found these prices very reasonable . There was another I liked as well ( can't remember the model ) but it attached to the rear passenger back rest and had a roll bag on top . I watched the provided video , looked roomy and easy access to the openings . In the video they mentioned the weather bag did need to be taped along the seams of the provided weather proof bag . Something you may want to do to yours ?

- May 10, 2014, 21:16:52 PMThanks D1 it is 16 long x 12 high x 11.5 wide, and it is really well made, not sure how it will hold up to the weather but it is going to be good for the season for sure.

- May 10, 2014, 20:28:06 PMThe locks are to keep the honest people out, you're right. I have one lock, however that goes to the helmet holder spike on the clutch lever......
