Just like almost everybody else, I've had problems with the pannier latches. Here is the solution I came up with - and thus far, I am very happy. Full disclosure - I'm about as mechanically minded as can be - - NOT! I really am a klutz. While the idea was mine, the work was done by Big Phil...

I wanted something to use for the vstrom as the twisted throttle dry spec bag is just a little too wide and with a jacket and back armor it pushes too much against my back. So, I thought I'd try this link out that I've been saving for a couple years and see if the bag was any good. Enter the...

(from the other forum, where I posted this on 4/25/2010) I decided to build my own topcase rack, because I think I can do better than what I've seen ready-made. I purchased the following: 1. Aluminum flat stock from McMaster-Carr. 3/8" x 12" x 12". 3/8" thick is overkill but I wanted to be...

(pulled from the other forum and rewritten because the links are all broken now) Before you can take out the pockets, you have to take off the black side panel (not getting into that here). Turn the bars so they're all the way forward on the side you're taking the pocket out of. Take out...
