I'm using them. I'm not having trouble with the exhaust and I've done a few long high speed trips with them on. The bag usually sits clear of the exhaust but there was one time when it didn't, and then I took the precaution of using the squashed coke can trick. I guess where it sits depends on how it's packed. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with them. Luggage stays dry when packed into No 8 garbage bags. -- G

I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion of the Kawasaki saddle bags? Are they worth the money? Is there something better out there for about the same price?

Im sure theres got to be somthing out there better. Ive got the kawa bags and they are small but seam to be very good quality. If you dont plan on carrying much more than rain gear and a few other odds and ends their great. I add a backpack for winter riding to be able to carry more gear. For travel or camping they would be much to small. Day trips and overnighters they work fine except in winter. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "kentuckyklr" wrote:

Check out the Ranger Bagz from www.motosportpanniers.com. If you want something bigger, try the ET400 bags from www.chaseharper.com. Wolfman makes a great tank bag for the KLR, and offers saddlebags, too. All three are good companies that stand behind their products. __Arden

I got a set of "Travel Bags" soft bags for $150 Canadian that attach w/ 2 2" wide velcro straps across the seat plus bungee cords under. They expand if necessary, and I took them to Alaska (19 days in '03), and Montana (10 days this July). Glad I bought them! Ed --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "kentuckyklr" wrote:

Hi Gavin, Believe it or not, trying to fly the helo upside down was a problem in the late 70's, early 80's, but it wasn't drugs or messages inverted due to the Coriolis effect. It was an electronic-mind interface problem. The first generation, 3-axis simulators caused (in some folks) what was loosely described as 'simulator sickness' and those with the greatest flight times were affected the worse. Seems like after you came out of the goofy 2-D graphics into the real world, one could have flash backs and make you want to do odd things with the helo, and getting it inverted was one of the dangers. It really came to light when there was a rash of folks who could not keep the car on the road, (usually immediately after the sim ride) as their mind and their 'behind' i.e. seat-of-the-pants feeling were not in the same operational plane as the motor vehicle or the aircraft. When I left the USMC in 1986, we were restricted from flying a real a/c for 12 hours or 8 hours of sleep (I think that is how it was, or at least how I remember it). By the way, there are now helo's that can do that stunt stuff, but not me man, I suffer from that German dis-ease of acrobatics known as neartopukin after 3-360's of steep turns. Always wanted to fly gliders until I did it one day.... they spend the entire flight going around in circles looking for 'lift' and as previously stated, I was quite German after the 3d 360 degree turn in a matter of moments. revmaaatin. who does not like to be neartopukin, and I don't like roller coasters either. Give me something safe like bucking horses, wild cows, and KLR's. Let us know when you get near the Black Hills of South Dakota.
