More for my Triumph Storm than my X1

For years I've always just strapped my tent and an Army day sack to the back seat, but I've decided to finally buy some proper stuff as I want to do some longer runs in Europe.

Seen loads of different ones on eBay but they're mainly fake leather and look a bit cheap.

Anyone know anyone that sells decent ones?

Assuming you don't want the gay tasseled look, I have successfully used an earlier incarnation of these. It surprising the amount of stuff that can be crammed into them.

That stuff looks good, Kev. But it's not pretty and when it's on, it's on.

We're after something for the X1 and are thinking of this -

It looks as if it'll take plenty :yup: As you know, in our case that's important ;) I'm hoping it'll work with any of the bikes :D

They look pretty good, but Reading the reviews and it seems they're not waterproof which is a shame. Easily fixed by buying some liners though.

Aye, not waterproof. I spent many years putting all my kit in plastic bags inside my bergan - I think I've got the hang of it :yup:

We'll probably pick one up when Magz is home this time.

Magz is gonna try it on the EBR and I'm having one on the X1. If it's a problem i'll use it on the H/Strada instad of the top box.

We'll just have to keep an eye on it. ;)
