| The bags arrived and I set to work diligently and strategically mounting them onto the Monster. The only bag I didn't get was the carry-all, which I didn't really care for having a bag above the headlight. Holds a lot of stuff! *Enduro Fender Bag *Enduro Tank Bag *Enduro Saddlebags *Enduro Duffle Bag *Peak Tail Bag Was a kickass deal. Because I bought all 5 enduro pieces they let me have it at blowout. All I have to do now is get the tires put on. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass?! Pretty ironic, isn't it? I can't believe all the stuff I can cram into those things!! _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| I got the whole works for just under $400. Didn't have to pay the conversion rate either, which helped. I'll go out with the Pro and see what I can do about a vid. The attachment is super easy, really. The fender bag and tail bags have metal hooks that just hook under the fender lip, or in the case of the tail bag, a rear rack, rear fender lip, or the seat lip. They all come with separate mounting instructions, but I'll see what I can do about a vid. Break down: Fender bag $25 Tank bag $70 Saddle bag $80 Duffel bag $35 Tail bag $105 _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| Ok, hopefully the browser won't crash on me and I lose all of this again... Onward! Ok, I'll try to be as helpful as i can with this, so if you have any questions, fire away. The fender bag's pretty straight forward; it has 4 metal hooks that affix to the lip on the fender, and you tighten it up via the cinch straps up top. The tank bag was a little more in depth. They have instructions to have the straps outside of the plastics, but I didn't want that...really it's just another thing to rip off the grafix if I dump it, which I have only done once since owning the bike. *knock on wood* So, that being said, I removed the plastics and set to work. The front of the bag is easy; all that's required is to loop around the front strap over the front of the steering stem and affix it to the cinch on the other side of the front of the bag. The bag comes with two rear cinch straps that have a small plastic clip at the end, and an elastic strap with 2 loops at each end. They say you're to work the elastic strap under the frame and fuel tank to the other side...I unbolted the rear of the fuel tank and slid it under the tank, just before the connectors for the tank, then bolted it back. You end up with a loop at either side of the tank. Thru these loops you loop thru the loose cinch straps, and feed it through the plastic clip at the end of the cinch strap so it snugs up to the elastic loop. Then you clip the cinch together and snug it up. Put your plastics back on and voila, your straps are hidden! To fuel up you simply unclip the front of the bag, pull it back to expose the fuel cap, and start pumping. I did it this way so the damned thing wouldn't get ripped off as easy...and really, I hate having to carry a tank bag AND a helmet AND whatever else into the pub or wherever it is I'm stopping at. You'd be amazed what ppl will rip off these days. The saddle bags were pretty easy as well. They say you can affix them over the seat or with the included hardware for plastics (drilling). Yeah...no drilling for this girl. That's one of the reason why I opted for these and not the Giant Loop because one, it consisted of drilling thru my plastics and 2...it's gawd awful butt ugly. So I decided to mount it under my seat because well, it makes it harder to rip off and looks tidier IMO. Now when I did this I eft one strap out and under my rear rack; the other two are under the seat. Simple to do, just cinch up to the deisred snugness. Just make sure you don't have the clips under the edge where the seat goes or you'll never bolt up your seat. That being said, there are 4 mounting straps; 2 on either side. One is at the bottom of the front of the bag, the other is at the top of the rear of the bag. The bottom straps are easy as I affixed them to my rear pegs. Have no pegs? Slip them around the rear subframe where it meets the mainframe. The rear strap I slipped around the subframe where the helmet lock is, and again on the other side. Slide your seat back into place, bolt it up, and you're set! The duffel bag was as easy as the fender bag. It comes with four clipped straps. Simply take the straps and clip them on; one at each corner on the front of the saddle bags, and one at each corner of the rear of the saddle bags. Loop the rear straps thru the banding on the back of the duffel bag, loop the straps thru the front banding of the duffel bag, clip them together and your duffel bag is on. Tighten the straps to however snug you want it to sit on the bike. The tail bag was pretty simple too. Again, it has 4 metal clips that you can snug up under the rear fender, the tail rack, or even the lip of the seat if you want to mount it there. I used the rear fender because my rear rack didn't have slot wide enuf to grab. Snug up the bag until it's as close as you need it with the straps. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| It's an incredible set of bike gear! Any adventure rider should have a set of these things because they are just so versatile and look fantastic to boot. I can still use the small sled tank bags as well...for the tank! They may not be Wolfman but they're Yamaha and they do fit right under the tank bag. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| SW excellent job on the technical writing, that was very clear and I know whats up with the attacment system. I like the way you didn't drill any holes and tucked in every thing that could be. Makes the bike and rider look well squared away. The little clips under the fender, they hold on well? Thanks again loads and loads! Six8 | |

| Oh yeah, they hold on REAL good. I think the only way they'd come off without undoing them would be because the fender broke....but we don't want to go there. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.'

| Shewolf Nice set-up. Can you confirm the pannier bags are the E-10 model? Thanks Lloyd. | |
| | | SheWolf Alpha Rider
| Subject: Re: The Fulll Wolfman Fri Feb 19, 2010 11:06 am | |
| Lloyd, the panniers are NOT the E-10's. I looked at the E-10's to begin with, and really there's isn't a lot of difference between those and the enduro saddle bags but half an inch in space, if that, and minus one strap. Why spend more cash on basically the same saddlebag? _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| Thanks I dont see them listed on their website - I suspect they are discontinued. Could you let me have the ref number if you have it? Thanks Lloyd. | |

| You might want to check out Dualsport Armory, Lee's still got them in stock. They are phasing them out for the E-10's. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| I was gonna get them thru Lee, but in the end when it all came down to figures, the distributor here in Canada beat everyone out, which surprised me because usually it's quite a bit more by the time taxes and stuff hit. The one thing that stinks is when you order from the US and they cross the border. Those twats yank you bad for duty and stuff. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |
