Got Some Bags

I finally sprung for some bags!

Giant Loop Coyote (rear)/Fandango (tank) setup.

I used the passenger peg brackets, some AL angle iron, and a couple of 3/16" stainless quick links to make some mounting points for the lower straps.

On the rear bag, the rear straps anchor quite nicely to the rear grab bars. it's a much more solid mounting point than the fender.

cool, interested to see how that setup works in the long run.

One question though, why did you go with the fandango tank bag and not with an offering from wolfman or some other luggage company? $165 seems kinda steep for a 10 liter waterproof bag when you can get a wolfman bag for between $75 and $125 for a larger bag with an add on $20 waterproof cover.

Other than that real cool

Eh, I don't know. I'm a sucker for matching luggage I guess.
