RhinoWalk Soft Cases
Not sure if this goes in this section or not, so feel free to move it if needed.....
As I work my way toward travelling on my bike some, I needed some side cases. I've seen comments about hard cases causing problems in wrecks (like broken legs), so decided to go soft. If you want to spend the money, from what I've researched Mosko Moto is the way to go. I'm cheap....errrr...frugal. I decided to go wtih Rhinowalk soft cases. You can find these things on the internet for about $139. This is for the size L which I bought. They also come in XL and M. prices are different based on size. In my search to spend as little as possible, I found several entries in dBay and ended up paying about $98 for mine. 100 bucks for soft bags that are waterproof, can't go too wrong, right? I got them mounted on my KLR. Pic is below. They are a bit clumsy, but overall the fit the bike pretty well. I was not sure about sizes, but the size L seems to be right for weekend travels (in my opinion). If I were to plan some longer trips, I might go with XL, but at the same time, I still have tons of room for a larger top case and other bags on the rear of the seat. Overall, I think these will do for my needs. I have rear crash bars mounted to my bike so I aligned the bags with those crash bars. That keeps them away from the bodywork and good clearance from the muffler too. I really don't care about the bodywork, but the bars were already there, so..... However, they do have some softer material on the part of the bag that would sit against the bike. I can imagine if mud/dirt got in there, the bodywork would end up scratched regardless.
