viaterra velox. this is made specifically for the dukes.
comes as two bags.
you can use just one bag if that's all you need (but its sold as a pair, can't buy only one)
can be easily mounted and unmounted, and secures pretty well without flopping around.
can carry a pillion with the bags mounted
the price for the pair of bags is pretty reasonable
i use the velox and happy with it

Do check out viaterra's website and also their videos of the velox on youtube.

I read the reviews n felt good about it. Ordered it just now.. Thanks [emoji4]

If you need an intra-city bag, check out Viaterra Seaty. Bought one recently. Nice product.

No mate, the quality is indeed good. The hole must have been a result of not securing the bag tight enough.

I know it stays close to the tire when straped, but you got to secure the strap tight enough (the strap that goes over the intersection area between rider and pillion seat) thus creating just enough space preventing bag getting in contact with the tire.

you can only use the left side as a single unit and not the right one. i have used the pair as well as the single unit a few times and never did it touch the tire.
if it is secured correctly (pull the strap down nice and tight), then it will not rub against anything that would cause damage. The only thing that 'wears' out is that aluminum mounting at the foot peg(where you slide the lower portion of the bag) which loses its sheen and becomes dull due to the bag rubbing.
i have used it quiet a bit and it hasn't given up as yet.
But remember to not overload/stuff the bag (or heavy stuff). if one wants to stuff lots then a bag like the claw would suit their purpose since it does not hang from its mounting points and wouldn't rip off.

it is waterproof to an extent.. if too much water splashes at the rear (the side facing the tires) water does seep in (personal experience)
always remember to keep your stuff inside a plastic bag and then inside the velox if riding in rainy weather.

Should I only change the front and keep the rear?

Well... I have to oppose your statement that the duke's brake lacks feedback.. It has ample feed back even when I use my cramster twister.. If you properly apply pressure, you can feel it..
Also I wouldn't suggest replacing stock until it's absolutely necessary.. The tyre needs to warm up to achieve maximum traction..
Mrfs on the duke are not really that bad..
But if you really worn out your tyre, then it could be an issue..
I agree that mrfs are not extremely grippy but for street and highways and a top whack of 138 for the duke .. I believe that they are good enough..
Ride her slow.. Study her rhythm and then start to dance.. If you understand what I mean.. Take your time and be patient.. You will get a hang of her handling..

peace

S1d ... When I apply my front let's say at 85%, I hear sound like metal to metal contact.. The pad worn out?
Odo is at 10.5 kms..

I recently went to Horsley from chennai and hit a speed breaker at 80 ish speed and now.. My right fork is leaking oil.. How much will they charge to replace the fork oil seal?

Also thinking of getting a navi.. For daily commute.. I don't wanna hurt my baby :P

Thanks for the advice. I will try and build co. Lets see what happens. My issue is that the front tyre locks or loses grip too soon. That's why I was looking to change the tyre.

Proper tyre pressure is also a key..

If you are getting the metallic contact sound it will be the worn out brake pads.. Better remove the pads out of it and check if you have reached the metal part or not.

It's not the km count, but the way you ride and brake causes them to get worn out. I changed mine at 16k kms.

Max rs 1500 for the fork seal replacement. Fyi: till 10k kms the fork seal has warranty.

I think someone pinged me in whatsapp saying that he wanted Kawasaki ER-6N.
