I was skeptical at first but I gave them a shot and used them on a trip to ride the Smoky Mountain 500. Another rider and I both had these bags on our KLRs. The bags have all the straps necessary to solidly attach to the bike and then some. The main support straps are about 4x longer than they need to be for my bike wich I guess makes them versatile but you may need to trim the excess down to keep them out of trouble. Also, they have external straps the can sinch the bag in tight. So if you haven't filled the bag up completely, it won't be flopping around loosely. They even have velcro loops to secure any loose straps from getting tangled up in your drive train.After seveal days of offroading and camping I was very happy with how they held up. Easy to access my gear. We rode through rainy conditions and they didn't let any water in. My friend (not me I swear!) laid his bike down 4 times and the bags took a beating but held up just fine. None of the strap attach points pulled out and all the straps and bag material held together just fine.More expensive luggage are pribably more durable but they cost several times the price of these. For a weekend BDR rider on a budget they are perfect. I highly recommend!
