tank panniers on a klr

[Jud]

Tractor supply, Fleet Farm, Wal Mart, Cabela's, any place that has atv accessories is likely to carry some version of these at about the same price. The features always vary; I doubt if you could go back to any of these stores a year later and find exactly what you bought before, but they are likely to have something. I have also used a pair of Aerostich panniers on the KLR as well as a variety of street bikes. They have held up well for about seventeen seasons. On the KLR, cross the velcro tank straps and let them nestle down in front of the tank. It is pretty easy to rig them with bungies or nylon cord so that they stay out of the way of your knees and don't flap in the breeze.

They are water proof with water proof zippers. Two compartments on each side. I do not know if they still have them and I just looked and there is no name or company logo on them. I have had them for over three years. They do not interfere with my riding. I have had a few get offs and they have not been damaged as of yet. I just wish I had as good fortune as they have. My last get off was a high side flop on the right side breaking my tibia and fibula. Back to the bags, maybe someone on this site knows of the manufacturer or if TCS still carries them.

Attachments : The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, "Do you know that  with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day they will rejoice!" Pelosi replied, "I seriously doubt that; with one little wave of your  hand? Show me."  So the Pope slapped her. -- Darren Clark http://www.flickr.com/photos/84373829@N00/ 2004 KLR-650 Fowlerville, MI

    The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, "Do you know that  with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day they will rejoice!" Pelosi replied, "I seriously doubt that; with one little wave of your  hand? Show me."  So the Pope slapped her.   And then Nancy pulled out a gun and shot a republican congressman in the head and the crowd went wild with joy because they finally knew, for sure, that their lives would begin to get better. -- Darren Clark http://www.flickr. com/photos/ 84373829@ N00/ 2004 KLR-650 Fowlerville, MI #ygrps-yiv-921788559 .ygrps-yiv-921788559ExternalClass
