Luggage (soft)

[wheeliebin]

Anyone have any experience with roll bags ?, I'm thinking of getting a 'baja bag', but have no idea if they're any good, easy to attach or worth the money.
I'm thinking of doing away with my topbox (it's fugly) and attaching to the rear carrier.

Any advice welcomed. :wink:

I've always used roll bags rather than the permanent addition of a top box.
In Europe the Ortlieb roll top bag is a ripper. especially as they're waterproof. Most roll bags aren't waterproof.
no doubt you have a great selection in the UK.
Have found the rack on the 650 to be easily scratched and the attaching points offered to be next to useless. Bungie and ROK straps will not stay put.
Now if someone were to come up with an alloy or steel tube replacement.....

Thanks, I got one, bought from one of those outdoor pursuit shops. The label says it's perfect canoeing, kayaking, rafting and boating. Should withstand our British climate then.

They call them 'Dry Cylindars', got blank looks when I asked for a 'Roll Bag'.
