I don't think you'll find some for decent price that are 100% waterproof...

I think I'm just gonna go with these... and get some of the gortex spray shit that dad uses for hunting and coat the shit out of the bag both inside and out... and then pack my shit in bags...


I'd be intrested in how the bags go on though... seems to me that they'd be open to spray from the tire...

dunno... check your local shop to check on them... steal drewpy's and check

the bottom of the bags are some sort of heat sheild that look like they are completly water proof, the bags have two straps that go across the top of them, so it looks like they have alot of adjustablity
i have the magnetic tank and even without the safety clip on the front it withstood several 100+ bursts and one 127+ run so they stay on, i have a smaller one that was on the kawi when i punted it at deals gap, was still in place after the wreck

nice... when you get a chance can you measure the inside of the tank bag and the opening so I can see if I can fit my laptop? either way... I think I'm sold...

do you need a measurement for the tank bag or the tail bag?

the tail bag is 18 inches across the middle fyi

why is there a bunny pancake in my first post?

Tail... sorry I typed that too fast... the tail bag is what I need a measurement of

how big is the opening front to back... I may just have to have a ziper installed on the side somehow...

and yeah... I wasn't sure about the bunny either
