I have one of their Coyote bags and I love it. Its a really well made piece of kit, tough as hell and waterproof.
It comes with a large stainless worm clamp, and bracket to attach to your muffler to keep the bag away from the heat. It also comes with a small container with brush of seam sealer, which sets like rubber and stops water seeping in.
I got mine for a good price but wish I had have gotten the great loop now, as itsa fair bit larger. You'd be suprised how much you can fit in them though. They also come with inner bags, that allow your to stuff all your crap in.
They are rock solid on the bike and Im yet to have them move an inch or need re-adjustment while on the road.
The downside is no security for your stuff, unlike lockable hard cases. You cant use them as a seat around the fire, and they can take a while to pack, if there not full, there is a fair bit of slack in the bags.
I dont get paid by the company but I love the product, and think there a cheap option to panniers. Well worth it in my book, but then again Im a klr rider...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
