How do they compare quality wise (fit/finish/durability/waterproofiness) with the likes of Givi etc?
I spotted the "not cheap" bit. I'm in a real Darsyesque quandry with the bikes at the mo, especially thinking about camping trips in the summer. Horse still isn't tall enough to sit comfortably on the R80 with the luggage in place, but the Zed is a bit light in the luggage department having only a topbox. Unfortunately, my recently acquired insurance excludes towing, so dumping the panniers and taking the trailer isn't an option. The H&B luggage for the Zed looks pretty good and is fitted in such a way that he'd not have problems comfort-wise. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/2489106616_63397a4a14.jpg?v=0 The other option, is to change the bike but there's so much procrastination going on in that department it's not even funny.
I'm sure that he'd be much more comfortable on my Harley, which (oddly enough) happens to be for sale, like. IIRC in Germany they're considered a step up from Givi et al, both quality and price wise.
Interestingly, when we had the conversation about which bike he'd like to go on when we go away camping in July, his response was "the Harley", which went to it's new owner last weekend. And no. Fairy nuff.

What is this with the anti-outfit shit? No-one I turned loose in the Ural died. Gyp took Horse for a run in it and survived.

I guess some just aren't up to the challenge.

TBF, it was my first time on an outfit with a *fixed* chair... Yes, I admit it, I had one of those "sidewinder" jobbies in the early 80s...
