    I had the idea of getting a soft pannier because I mostly like offroad routes. So I got my eyes on the Givy Gravel T 35+35 Liter soft panniers. But those are kind of expensive and I dont know if those would fit the 650... Then I thought about getting the grt 720 that look smaller but some...

    Looking to increase the farkle-factor on my ‘22 650 Strom XT-A. It came with the Suzuki silver aluminum panniers but I’d like to either paint or vinyl-wrap them. Maybe in blue (?) Curious to see what y’all have done. New member here - hello from Austin TX!

    I've got an 07 wee that I am wanting to get some panniers for, soft or otherwise. I would like to hear what you have! I've been noticing that some racks are becoming difficult to find, so if you have some suggestions please let me know.

    Hello all, My apologies if this has already been covered (I searched it, but didn't find a specific answer) but I had a question about the the OE saddlebags and how they're mounted. I picked up a set of used panniers (SW-Motech made version with Suzuki stamped) off of eBay on the cheap for my...

    First time posting, so some background first: I rode motocross for a couple of years before a scare put me off. My dad bought a VStrom in 2009 that I have stolen from him as he's moved to an R1200GS. I'm an engineer that loves tinkering and designing, hence the following questions. I have a...

    Hello StromTroopers, question for those with more knowledge that me. My new bike is an 05 650 Vstrom, and it has the nice glossy Suzuki hard bags and OEM rack on it already. I'd like to get some durable panniers for the dirt, but it would be great to be able to switch from dirt to street bags...

    I have a DL1000A 2012 V-Strom Adventure. I have decided to replace my OEM Panniers with some aftermarket ones. After having exhausted the internet and reading reviews I decided on the GIVI Outback Trekker series of side cases. Now that I found what I want, I come to find out they won't fit on my...

    Okay, I am having a tough time making a decision on soft luggage for my V2. I think I have narrowed it down to these choices: the Happy Trails Mojave Kit for $467.00 (USD) (racks, hardware and bags); or the Twisted Throttle-Bags Connection Dakar Panniers set for $620.99 (CDN) (racks, hardware...

    After two test rides I decided to Buy a 2014 Vee 2 Adventure. Just picked it up today. $12,500 out the door not including sales tax. All the Adventure parts arrived and were installed by the dealer. Have had many bikes over the last 40 years, and this one seems like its going to be one of my...

    What are the factory panniers like for the new bike? I gather they're only moderately sized, at I think 29+26 litres.. A bit more space would have been nice. I wondered if anyone can talk about how well they fit onto the bike? Fairly neatly and well, or do they stick out miles to the side? is...

    For those of you that live with Zega panniers from Touratech everyday (I commute with them) you know that as nice and solid as the attachment method is, they can be prone to vibrating loose, and if left unnoticed will eventually eject on their own. I have prepared this video describing my...

    I think the title says it all, a craigslist ad in my area has a guy selling side racks and aluminum boxes (panniers) for a V-Strom 1000. Does anyone know if these would fit on a 650? Thanks for any help.

    Help the newb. I thought that I saw sticky thread on luggage somewhere on the site but I can not find it now. Could you direct me there or does anyone have experience with the Happy Trail Teton panniers? Namely, are they waterproof? Thanks for any help.:confused:

    Ive been reading up on mounting 20mm ammo cans as side luggage and I've come across a lot of info on the subject but no one seems to have any schematics/blue prints/parts lists etc. I'm a broke college kid and can't afford to dish out $800 isn't for Trax luggage and I don't want plastic Givi...

    I've been looking for a set of aluminum panniers in the $300 range and found a few links to guys that used to make them and sell them to fellow adv riders on various sites like here and advrider and vsri, etc. But it seems as though they all either quit making them or, in at least one case, he...
