wolfman explorer vs. dual star tank bags.

I guess Honda really has gotten traction control fairly well down

I'm excited! MotoGP returns to the US in '05! Just saw the dates on the Laguna Seca website: July 8, 9,&10. Tickets don't go on sale until October but I'm going to make my room reservations tomorrow. 10 years since we had GP here and I can't wait to see Rossi and the boys going down the corkscrew! For Superbike I usually just ride up for the day but for GP I'm going to do the 3 day package. I want to see qualifying, I want to wander the pits. Did I mention I'm excited!?

I love my Wolfman Explorer with the KLR-specific harness. The fit is great with my flat Corbin. The bag is also very secure and well laid-out. Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark, what add-ons did you buy with your Wolfman Explorer? If you bought some add on pockets etc. how do you like them? I notice that you can more that double the cost of the Explorer with add ons. Mr. Moose raves about his Dual Sport so I am at odds as to which to buy. I am going to run over and use his bag and try for an install with my new Corbin (thanks Fred). To other Dual-Star-Corbin Flat Seat owners: How well does this combo work. Is it a hassle to remove the Dual Star Tank Bag (DSTB)? I called Dual-Star Tech Line but they had no tech there to help. Later I called the 800 number,but they were not too specific about the fit problem, other than to say it would fit, but that it would be rather difficult to remove the bag. [Difficult? Is that like a doctor saying "you'll feel a little discomfort after surgery?"] I gather that the buckles attached under the front of the seat are difficult to access, but I have no specifics, and they gave me none, which surprised me. I still don't know if you have to remove the Corbin in order to remove the DSTB. I would have thought that they could tell me exactly how it would fit and with photos. Seems to me that they could make more sales if they would clear up this problem and make a different harness set up. Perhaps this Corbin-DSTB combo is fairly unusual...then again if the thing don't fit, of course it is going to be unusual [duh!!] CC: dualsport@...
