I just came back from a 10 month tour through Europe/Middle East/Asia. I have Touratech's and a frame from Overland-Solutions. The frame is top notch, the bags are shit. I picked both, so I can't complain. The TT bags are riveted, not welded. See pics on my website for some damage.
I am tossing them and getting custom ones made. I thought a lot about the specs, and here is what I am going with: - 4 loops on top of lids, same as Zega cases, in similar positions - Lift-off lids with 1 centimeter overhang - Weather stripping on inside of lids for waterproofing - 4 small loops on narrow sides of cases, 8 loops in total per case (strap holders, fuel bottle attachment option) - Protex locks - Flush-mounted support plates for locks, most importantly for attachments to frame. (8 locks in total, same key, 2 locks to hold bag to frame) - Minimize protrusions on inside of bags to prevent wear of articles bouncing up and down while riding - 35 L left and 41 L right - BMW R80G/S - Outside lower rim of bags at 45 degree angle (2 cm width), not straight welded - Weld all joins, not tack welded or rivited - All welds polished to look smooth - Annodize all pieces - 2 mm or thicker material? Best aluminium...
