08 KLR 650,luggage

[OmahaMartin]

Hi guys,
I am gonna get soon some luggage. First time I thought hard luggage, but time by time I really like DrySpec D 106.
Can you give me feedback, do you think if this panniers should be fit for my KLr?

thanks a lot Martin

Spending that much on soft saddle bags, have a look at Giant Loop.
I had this on my KLR for a 2014 baja trip and still use it on the 990 now for short trips.

I also picked up a cheap set of Nelson Rigg Saddle bags for the 990 I used in Baja last year. They worked very well.

Zero camping gear, motels all the way. But I was 2-up on the 990, there would have been room if I left the wife's hairdryer and all the moisturizers and bits women take at home. LOL I'm going to pay for that 1.

Cheap, can't wait to get back there.

Most expensive part was the motels and gas for the truck to get down the I-5 to the starting point & back home.
