I used a seat bag on last years tour, but think I would prefer Soft throw over panniers, anyone using this set up, pictures appreciated along with recommended makes

These guys are local to me. No afiliation except that we sell them in our store, and I ride off road with them.

They used most of the Ducati's in our show room to perfect the fit. I have never seen a bag that even comes close to the quality of these. They fit any bike that can carry a passenger, and with a week of camping stuff, you can ride like it's not there.

Those are pretty cool! And I thought I had seen most all of the good designs for saddlebags and luggage.

Also check out dirt bagz or wolfman luggage

Consider the Cortech Tri-Bag system as well.

+1 for the Cortechs. I'll add the top bag for next season as well.

That is an awesome concept for a bag, I'm selling my Cortech system and buying one of those before my next trip. The best part, if for some reason I crash my bike and have to take a plane ride back home it'll make a great neck donut

The Cortech looks really good, what is the advantage of the giant loop? Waterproof?

I don't know, but they're pretty cool looking, waterproof and I like the idea of the individual compartment bags inside. I used to have the Cortech bags on my DR650 and thought they were great. But I think they will burn with the Termi 2-1 system. They would on my DR without a rack to hold them away from the exhaust. Looking at the loop style bag, I think I could position the saddlebag portion forward enough to keep it off the pipe and I noticed in the directions they have some heat resistant straps/covers you can get.

I really want something big enough to handle a long 3-4 day weekend but removable. I have looked at making some pannier mounts and putting hard luggage (like Pelican cases) on but that sort of ruins the whole idea and look of a HM. And they aren't easy to take on an off.

Just my .02 since I've never seen the loop bag in person.
