    I would like to see pics of the straps&also of the contact area on the rear panels.
    @HydBiker: I think you have this.
    Akhil a.k.a Rossiter has used it on an R15 and he had no complaints. I have used it on a 200 and almost got my knee on the road while cornering with the cramster saddle bags fully loaded - no complaints. Excellent investment.

      Sounds nice! But Aparajith seems to have a different view about this. Check in the R15 thread.

          But I would like to know if there are any down side of DSG Maze as I do not know anyone who owns it. Thanks.
          If you don't mind, what are your reasons for buying Mesh Jacket?

          I have a Silver Maze. As you said, it looks good with leather and lightweight. Downside is that it is not even slightly waterproof. If you are willing to compromise on only that aspect, everything is great.

            I stay in Hyderabad where even winters are hot. In case sometime later I re locate to other city, I will still be left with a warm liner which might do some job in case of cold conditions.
            If water proof is the 'only' down side then still I'll buy that and settle with a good raincoat. I saw Spike also which is textile but still I liked Maze. I will be using my jacket mostly for short weekend, 1-2 day tours.
            Thanks for the input.

                Akhil does not like the expensive ones used on the R1 either. He prefers bungee chords over baggage in general.


                Damn! Thanks Pranay for the detailed information.

                          • Bungee Nets&Chords

                            Anywhere in Hyderabad/Pune where I can get good quality Bungee nets&chords? I prefer the ones with the rubberized hooks.
                            If anyone is using these, please post a pic of the mounting mechanism. I would like to see how and where the hooks strap on.
                            Thanks in advance.
