jesse luggage + klr650 + need installation help!

We are driving from LA to Panama and bought ourselves some jesse luggage to fit our KLR650.

we absolutely love the cases but MAN the manual is complete SHIT!

and seems that everyone complains about it... i dont understand why jesse doesnt include a proper manual.....!

can anyone with the same system help us out with some pictures of the main bolts, nuts, bars?

we hooked them on right now to tour in the states but we want to get a decent installation done before we go into mexico!

can anyone help us out?


THANKS!

Jesse's for the KLR

Hi,

Recently (3 weeks ago) put a set of odessey 2 panniers on to my 2008 KLR. There was a bit of a stuff around setting them up and in the end I left the rear cross bar off fearing contact with the rear tyre under heavy compression. But Generally they went on pretty well.
Send me a PM to swap emails.

Cheers Ben.

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.
