I'm going on a 3 day ride in Arkansas in early October and needed to find some bags as I had nothing. I looked at a number of different bags/luggage options and struggled with spending the $$. I was hoping to find a cheap(er) solution, but unfortunately these Bergs don't have any real connection points on the subframe. This made using generic dry bags and various straps or bungees not so easy or appealing (though I have seen it done!). Sooo...after seeing Wolfman saddlebags on a DRZ recently, they looked liked the perfect solution.
Impressions so far...great, simple and (appears) very secure attachment to the bike. They are not waterproof so what I want to keep dry will need to be in a zip lock or dry bag. The bags are very well made and should be durable. I also purchased one of the Wolfman Rolie bags, medium, to put on the seat. The saddlebags have basically 4 D rings on the main straps that go across the seat. The rolie straps attach to these D rings and mount the bag securely...assuming the saddlebags stay secure. The rolie is a very high quality dry bag perfect for essentials you without doubt want to keep dry.
Figured I'd post my impressions in case anyone else is looking for bags for shorter duration rides.
