yeah... could have done with out the bags... but they will make access to certain things MUCH easier if/when I have issues.

how are your cortech bags holding up? mine are falling apart. the rain covers are trashed (literally threw them away as they had a hole in each big enough to stick my head through) the stitching is going now on the straps that connect the two saddle bags... one of the rubber backings of the saddle bags is almost gone... as the loop that holds tore. The only part thats holding up is the tail bag. but it's not nearly as easy to use on the DRZ as it was on the RR due to the width of the seat.


Think I'm gonna get some new bags next year... throw these up for sale

make a bracket that goes over the top of the bike and holds the saddle bags up, off of the plastics, we did that for osp's buell and it worked great

yeah the rain covers were a joke, i havent had too many problems with them, i know what you talking about with the lil straps breaking off, i think i lost one from the tail bag, other then that they have held up to my abuse
