Hi Paul, I brought the Giant Loop Coyote bag to go on my 690 and I absolutely love it.
Expensive yes, but as others have said it will likely outlast my current bike.
Having used saddle bags and pack racks on previous bikes I find this is the best solution for me.
Once strapped in place it never moves or shifts even over the roughest terrain and doing jumps etc...
The other big plus for me was not having to fit a rear rack, most of the ADV rding that I do is only 1 or 2 days long in which case i take a small back pack.
I couldnt see the point of carrying around a rear rack ( another thing to bite you in a fall ) most of the time when I may need it only 3 times a year.
Had the Giant Loop with me for the DB last year which incorporated a 10 day trip around the south island and it carried everything I needed it to with most of the weight being carried almost as low as a saddle bag but without the extra girth.
Bits4Bikes sells them here in NZ for $450 delivered to your closest dealer, and as the old saying goes - no one ever regrets buying quality
Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time
