Hi. Brown eye
I’m still not sure which rack should I order. May be you can help me...
Are you still satisfied with the DBZ ranger bags? Can the bags be strongly tied to the racks or do they tend to move on dirt tracks? What about materials quality?. Are they strong enough? Would you buy it again or would you look for another luggage alternative... based on your experience?
And which is the small bag you carry on the tank? Are you also satisfied with it?
And do you have any references about Kriega bags system on the 630?
So many questions... sorry
Sorry, haven't been back here for a bit and I don't get emails on all threads.
I like the ranger bags fine, they're nice and light as well as the racks, they stay put and hold enough. The are much more compact than the wolfman expeditions - I also have a set of those I use on the bigger bikes - I had a Tiger 800XC and recently traded it for a R1200GS.
That's the good news. The bad news is the bars are very light and will bend if you crash on them and break if you do it very many times. The bags are sewn by wolfman so they hold up, but they are not waterproof. For me, I add the ortlieb roll-top that is so that's where bedding and clothes go - the light stuff. The rest doesn't matter, tool roll, stove, food packs, etc. Or you can pack in waterproof stuff sacks or compression sacks and get by as well.
They are also quite small - about 19L each if I recall, so if you're a gear hog you're gonna run out of space. If you pack light they're fine, and frankly I think that's an advantage so you don't overload the bike. Very easy to do on these smaller bikes. Piling lots of weight on the back just destroys the handling.
In my stacked picture there are a couple of anomalies - one is that I don't always include the Kolpin pack, and two there's a water bag on top as this particular trip we had to bring our own water to camp.
There's also the advantage of cost - the Dirtbagz setup is not very expensive - I think I gave like $180 when those folks were at the big bike show here in CA.
I have have often thought it would be nice to figure out a way to hang the wolfmans on it since I have those and they are waterproof and stronger, but alas the connection system is unique to the Ranger bags so I stick with them. That said I'll bet I've only used them a half dozen times in the four years I've owned the bike. Most all riding has been from a base camp so I have not done a lot of off-the-bike camping. We did do a couple of 800 mile Grand Canyon North Rim trips though and it all worked out really great. We had some big bikes along that literally shook the racks off their bikes. Mine came thru with flying colors and a whole helluva lot lighter and fun to ride in the rougher stuff.
The Mosko bags are really nice but super expensive and I thought I heard they were a bit heavy as well. Plus you still need a way to stand them off the side of the bike and I'm not sure what other options there are for the Husky. The wolfman racks are also no longer made but you might find someone selling an old set.
Doing it again I would go with a GL Coyote and a roll top. But that won't work with the Turbo City rack and that's my extra fuel - I happen to loathe the Safari tanker tank. I only need extra fuel on the odd occasion so that's when I install it.
Another one to look at would be the Altrider bag - I think that would be a good solution as well.
The wolfman mini enduro tank bag is fine - just know that it's not waterproof either. I still use and like it on the husky. Have more or less quit using a tank bag on the big adventure bikes, replacing it with a larger topbox. I find on the roadbikes the tank bag is a PITA for fueling. I'm generally going a LOT more miles on those bikes. Again, I think the smaller Giant Loop tank bag is a better option, it's waterproof and a little bigger.
I don't have any experience with the Kriega bags but a couple of riding buddies like them - two 20L ones - but you need a way to hang them on the bike. I guess they have some kind of system for that, never really paid attention. Nice product though. If you can fit your gear in a Giant Loop Coyote I think that's the hot setup, Altrider bag second, just because it's quite a bit bigger. The big GL bag is way too big.
, I guess yes
