    Thanks

    A mate gave me a bunch of bends & I reaquainted myself with the dark art of gas welding, hence some of the welds are a bit agricultural.
    Unfortunately I don't have enough bends for another set

    Andystrapz make a set of frames for the DR650

    Thanks for that info. Got a mate with a gas axe. The idea was what I needed and that's a good. Maybe you would get takers if you made a few. Look on Ebay and see the price.

    Cheers

    Those Giant loops look great. I think the selling point is how quickly they come on & off. If I could see myself getting time to do more longer trips I'd look at trying to make one of those next.

    Good weight distribution and no need for pannier racks is what I like about them. Could chuck them on any bike with no real prep.

    A Scrambler rider with bags on both sides is advertising that he swings both ways. I on the other hand am strictly hetro. (plus too lazy to make a second bracket).
    The andy bags are good because you can split them.
    I'm just finishing some one off brackets for kanny's KLE, to suit the Torpedo7 bags.
    Cant post any pics cause my pic system is down on the computer.

    They look great - but the price is up there - US$ 300 - 400 before freight, has anybody approached a saddlery over here and investigated a "homemade" option?
