Well, he needs room for farkles and such... a boy just can't have too much room, can he?I mean cmon, how much room do you need?
I saw May 12th. Just assumed it was this year. Thanks for making me fell dumb :dribble: .I too have been quietly lusting after these bags. After reading this thread I couldn't resist any longer and ordered a large from RWH. Did I hear right that they are back ordered? Nothing said as much when I placed my order. Hopefully that is not the case as I am counting on it for a trip to VA next week. Anyone have any intel?
I am getting ready for a 3k trip for a 6 week training as well. I am required to have all uniform combos with me. I find that the issued duffel works great for all of the uniforms and the hard bags keep the trip supplies easily at hand. This'll be my 4th trip this way, but the first on the FJR.I need the room for all my uniforms and clothes for six weeks. Didn't want to be limited to two pairs of zip-off pants and sandles the whole time. That's why I went Large. Anyway, I saw how they looked on the bike - looks good.
In my case, I usually travel 110 miles to another home I have.Dude, go medium, the large is just too gdamn big, unless you're planning to haul for Mayflower or something.

I used to take too much shit with me too. I carry everything you mention with the exception of the cable TV box and weapons Just haven't found the need to carry on the bike yet.In my case, I usually travel 110 miles to another home I have.Dude, go medium, the large is just too gdamn big, unless you're planning to haul for Mayflower or something.
I mean cmon, how much room do you need?
I carry a couple days of clothes, underwear, shoes, and jacket for when I get there, a laptop computer, the liners for my riding clothes, and a small case with a few cigars in the Motofiz.
In my right saddlebag, I have basic deodorant, toothpaste, vitamins, socks, basic odds and ends in the Yamaha bag.
In my left saddlebag, I have my DirectTV box for when I get there, my raingear, a .45 or 10mm handgun with extra magazine in a fannypack.
This doesn't leave much extra room for more stuff.
When I get there, the large bag has plenty of room to carry groceries and other stuff.
Should I decide to travel cross country, some of this stuff would be replaced by stuff more appropriate for cross country travel.
My philosophy is, I'd rather have all the room I can get, at my disposal.
Especially when the large bag isn't too large for the FJR, even when extended.
YMMV
This reminds me of another reason I chose the large bag.Snip-In my case, I usually travel 110 miles to another home I have.Dude, go medium, the large is just too gdamn big, unless you're planning to haul for Mayflower or something.

I'd read of problems with the mount for the Top Case breaking, and because of this I hesitate to buy one.
So I wanted the extra space the large bag offers because of this.
Thank you for that translation! :lol:It says:
Place bag on bike and cinch down using supplied straps. I also says there is a detachable pack on the side and that sides zip out.
Enjoy,
John
I have no problems with my slots and tabs...Good luck with that! Just remember, tab A goes into slot B :evilsmiley:
And there's a collective ***gasp*** from the crowd!I open the box and whip it out (so to speak)...
