OK, I'm on a budget and am considering E45NJ's as sidecases and a Bestem 929 for the top for my 2011 DL650.

Since the E45NJ does not come with retaining straps, has anyone found a way to engineer something?

Is there a cheaper alternative to a SW-MOTECH sidecarriers?
It looks like you have to buy an adapter kit to mount the bags, is that right?

Also sounds like the Bestem comes with a generic mounting pad that will work for the Strom.

Any recommendations on best place to order on the internet. Thanks!!

Use inner bags with the NJs. It's the best of side opening v. top opening.
