Honest suggestion- DON'T PURCHASE THAT BAG ! ..

The bag needs a proper weight balancing from both the sides and even a minor difference in weight on any side will make the bag hang on one side.

Mine one got melted from the right silencer and is dead.

Top of that- u pay 2200 bucks for two bags which is not water proof , hell then why its meant for bikes????

The nylon stuff(or watever) its made of , u'll get backpack of same quality stuff in shivaji nagar for max 200 bucks.

The saddle bag does not deserve to be anything more than 500 bucks!

You cannot strongly tie the bags to the bike as the string looks like a cheap piece of nylon which slips and get loosened every now and then ..

I don't know why but people are crazy about Cramster. Seeing the quality of stuff does NOT seems to be proportionate with the prices- its heavily exorbitant.

I had a look on the Armour jackets, the quality is no way near to similar priced DSG jackets. The plastic quality of knee guard is also awful, I dunno what is the justification of the heavy price tag.

So stay away from Cramster, and its better spend some more but get a better quality stuff from any diff brand.

Thank you. Thats a pretty exhaustive and insightful reply. I am meaning to have a bag on one side of the bike only (as mentioned early). Somehow i am fed up of having a plastic box on one side which mars the beauty of the avenger.

I was wondering what other x-bhpians are doing?! Come on guys, lets post useful information pertaining to each city so that newbies / oldbies alike can use the info on this thread to locate reputed companies for buying accessories for Touring bikes. Look forward to everybody's cooperation and valuable views.
