Hey Just thought I would pass this on. A friend turned me on to these bags and the rack. More for extreme touring I would say (yes, I am considering adding them to my new toy). Made in Southern Oregon, cost about 6 Bills, and really heavy duty with good quality Welded Aluminum Frame. Take a look if you wish. Michael
