Are There Any Asymmetrically Sized Soft Bags?
I'm thinking of substituting soft bags for the Suzuki branded SW Motech hard cases on my 2012 V-Strom 650. The motivation for this is that the hard case arrangement is very wide (it exceeds the width of the handlebars) and I have to be, annoyingly, very aware of this fact in close quarters.
I'd leave the racks in place but would hang more compact soft bags on them which would then result in a narrower luggage system. Even if the reduction in width was small, I'd worry less about accidental contact with a soft piece of luggage.
But here's the issue. Because of the single muffler, the rack on that side necessarily protrudes out further that the rack on the other side. The hard cases compensate for this by being different sizes (i.e different widths). The right one holds 37 litres and the left one holds 45 litres. The overall result is that the hard luggage system sticks out the same distance on both sides.
All the soft bag systems I've been able to find online include 2 equal sized side bags. Hanging them on the existing racks would result in a lopsided arrangement.
Anyone ever come across a asymmetrical set of soft bags, or at the very least, different sized bags of the same decent brand available as singles?
Fabricating an extension to the rack on one side is not a desirable solution because I'd then lose carrying capacity. I'd be forced to use smaller bags on both sides. Asymmetrically sized bags would allow me to use a larger one on the left side.
