    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

I was hoping to get some insight from the people about bags for my bike. I found some options on eBay, but I am a visual person and I'd hate to get them and not like how they look. I have the luggage rack on the back, but I would like to get some saddle bags. As always, the cheaper the better!

Thanks for your input!!
 
For some good bags at great prices check out www.motopakluggage.com .

They had been running some ebay auctions alos and you can end up with luggage below normal retail.

I use a Motopak Tankbag every day and the saddlebags when the GS hits the road.

wow. that is some good looking and reasonably priced luggage. i think i'll be getting a tank bag from them in the near future :D
 
I looked them on eBay and they are actioning for $45, but asking $114 on their website. They don't have a buy it now feature, but I'm sure it won't go for full price. Nice looking bags too.

Thanks very much for your help!
 
wow thanks for the heads up on the motopak stuff! looks like there goes my next paycheck...
 
Wow, I'm buying the "Roll" seat bag... I've been looking for a seat bag that I can actually put tent poles and my Sven saw inside for camping purposes... damn cool stuff on that site for good prices. Thanks!
 
Canadian pricing needs updating. 20% markup for CDN $.

HA! He IS Canadian. I sent him an email.
Got a reply. Wow. Fast.

All pricing is in $US, for the Canadians.

Will any of the saddlebags shown on that page fit without modification on a 1982 GS750E?
 
I have the GT27 tank bag and really like it. Fully expanded it holds my HJC full face helmet very nicely. My Nolan modular is a little tight but if I tug enough it will fit as well. Not sure how much I paid. Bought off ebay so I'm sure I didn't pay full price.

The GT27 is great but I wish it had a few more smaller compartments. It has a nice little pocket on the front which detaches and become a fanny pack. It could use a little pocket like that on each side.

Inside is cavernous when fully expanded.

I've been planning to buy the big saddle bags for a while but am spending all my money on parts and tools right now. Thanks for reminding me because I'll need to pick them up before the BC Rally.
