Evening all

I'm just looking at getting an extra bag for touring this year (got two 10+ dayers, so far).
I'm currently using a US20 and straps which is ok for a couple of nights gear but need a bit more space.

Any recommendations? I'm thinking about a canoe roll bag or something similar.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Take less stuff

or

Get a couple of US10 Kreiga's which will strap to either side of your US20 which will give you extra space.

Cheers Fizz

Take pretty much FA anyways, may get away with the one US10

I've used one of these a few times strapped across the back seat without any problems. I hve a 60L one and it sticks out about the same as my panniers the 40L one shouldn't stick out to much

I've always gone with an Oxford tailpack and (if necessary) soft panniers. It does the job, fits properly and is rumoured to stay in place at 180mph.

The tailpack's seen me through a 10 day trip on its own. With panniers as well I've managed 13 days with camping.

Most of the adventure riders swear by Ortlieb kit

I've repeatedly fallen over and dropped a quarter ton of KTM on mine and it's still going strong and totally waterproof

Not cheao kit but a hard earned reputation...
