[NoVa Rider]

Nelson Rigg Survivor Edition dry bags have been mentioned in the forum before, but I wanted to comment on my experience from our West Virginia RX3 rally. I replaced my stock side cases with the survivor bags, using the stock rear guards to secure the bags in place and keep the right side bag away from the exhaust. They worked great. Simple and effective. I probably had a bit under 30 liters capacity a side, could have held a bit more but then the tops of the bags start obscuring the turn signals from the side. At Container Store I found an open "two handled tray" that fits perfectly in the bottom of the Survivor bags, which helps give the bags some shape and also makes packing much easier. Trays are 13" by 9 1/2" by 5 1/2 inch tall. Plastic on the trays is flimsy, and would probably crack if you dumped the bike on them, but they work. Cost of the bags is under $120, and the trays were $5 each from Container store.
