Hi Nigel
I am still wrestling with the hard / soft luggage issue. I have bought a DR650 (after much deliberation) but there is very little in the line of luggage available in NZ. I think I have narrowed it down to two options - either Givi cases (E28 and E36) on MW Motech fames (twisted throttle have them but they are quite expensive). This on the whole is quite an expensive option. The alternative is a Givi top box (probably a E36 on the Suzuki rack) with Andy Strapz bags. I like the Andy Strapz bags but I am worried about the security. How do you secure these to the bike so that they do not get stolen when you stop for fuel / lunch? Is there anywhere in NZ where I can get the wire mesh you mention? This is certainly a cheaper option - only need to get the bags and have brackets made to keep the bags off the bike. How do you stop the bags from sliding around?
