Saddlebags by ARANDU
ARANDU is an Argentine company established in 1987 with stores in several major cities. Arandu sells all manner of leather goods, boots and horse tack.
I had leather backs sewed on the bags to stiffen them up a bit and had waterproof inserts made, so I can pull the inserts out with all my gear to keep in my tent or hotel room.
In dangerous or isolated areas, when bush camping, I have been known to tie a light cord from my bike to my body, sleep on my hammock and just keep the bike loaded so I can get out of Dodge fast.
I have ridden these bags through 6 South American countries, 21,000 K over every type of road, trail, path and river bed imaginable. No problems. I fell many times, once on pavement and the saddle bag protected me and my bike from serious damage. I was able to patch the bag with cloth and eventually replaced the cloth with a leather patch.
Elisa used a saddle bag and tail bag set from CORTECH on her XR250 Honda Tornado, (she just upgraded to a Falcon, so there are at least 8 of us now) and she has convinced me to "upgrade" to the CORTECH bags too...Will let you know how the CORTECH set works out. Women!!! xfiltrate
