BMW who're I'm afraid. Liked the one key fits all options. Seems ok if not as you say, expensive.

I am packing for a ride to a BMW rally this weekend. I have a set of Shad hard bags for my F650GS that I am taking to the rally this year. (I am riding with my daughter on her 1981 R65LS and it seemed like the RS was overkill for this trip.) Anyway, I have discovered that I don't need the saddle bags any more to carry my luggage and camping equipment. I have managed to locate equipment like a tent, sleeping bag and warm compressible clothing that are small enough so that everything fits into a large duffel bag that I fasten on to my passenger seat and rear luggage rack. A tank bag carries my snacks and water bottles, along with miscellaneous small personal items. Now I have a closet full of saddle bags collected over the years that I don't really need to use on any three or four day-long camping trips.

Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2005 Triumph Bonneville T-100; 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2016 BMW R1200RS; 2011 Zero S 16.6 kWh
