Cheapo Tank Luggage

[Oldie]

Fitted these today to carry my wet weather gear when out on the hills. Could be used for touring possibly? Cost about £9 for the pair delivered and they're ex army but perfectly useable.

Why don't you put waterproofs in top box or cargo net them to back seat?

I have to take a weekend's worth of dry clothes/food etc in the top box and didn't really think about it too much. Last time I carried stuff on the pillion seat I nearly knocked the bike over, what with being a short arse

Don't suffer in that way myself! Sounds like a good idea in your case then, I just tend to use cargo net on rear seat, or take seat off even better...

The other benefit is that I just sling one of the bags on my back to carry my flask, sandwiches and map

quallity mate ,
all you need is the old waterproof liners and your good to go !!

Look good but think you have to paint the bike khaki to match what are they and where did you get them

They're Czech Army surplus shoulder bags that I got on ebay. They're a bit tatty but they're ideal for what I need.
