| - Wolfman Side racks - 30 liter water proof duffle bags straped to the sides - Cutting board from Walmart cut down for tail rack - Old OEM tail bag from my KLR bolted to the tail rack (not completely water proof but ok. - Wolfman Explorer Lite tank bag I already had the water proof duffle bags, KLR tail case and tank bag. All I really needed was the side racks and tail rack. I need to get some tool tubes on there somewhere. But this rig works pretty well. I wanted the Giant Loop. But afraid there was not enough room for me. | |

| Hey bsheet, what kind of fuel cap/vent are you using? Can you post some closer pics of that tank bag- maybe a top view so I could see how wide it sits on the bike. I am about to pull the trigger but can't decide between the Explorer Lite and the Enduro. Thanks! | |

| Can't get pics tonight. Will try to post up some later. But I will offer the following info.
- The Explorer Lite is a nice size tank bag and I like it alot. It has an excellent amount of room to cary the tings I like to keep there. But it does interfer with me when I stand on the pegs. Not horrible interferance. But it is there. If I am going out for a single track day I take it off. If I am going for a multi-day Adventure ride I put it on. I already owned this tank bag before I got the WRR. If I were to buy one for the WRR I would strongly consider the smaller tank bag and try to make do with the reduced space. The Explorer Lite is able to expand more upward. I have never had to use this feature yet. I suspect I could get by with the smaller tank bag. Or just add some small tank panniers if I want to go on a multi-day trip.
- For the vent tube on the tank, I found a rubber 90 degree elbow used for windshield wiper wash water hose at a local automotive shop. I trimmed this slightly so it just clears the top of the gas cap when pushed onto the nipple in the gas cap. The diameter of the elbow pretty much matches the hose. They also had the little hard plastic "unions" to join two pices of hose. So I stuck one in the elbow and slipped the hose on. This lets the hose run across the top of the tank and not get pushed into a kink by the weight of the tank bag. I slip one end of the hose into the steering stem. Seems to work well. Oh, the fuel cap is the one that comes with the IMS tank.
I will try and remember to get some pictures this weekend when I have some daylight. I never seem to get home from work before it gets dark.
Hope this helps! | |

| My set-up for camping off my WR. Probably need to pare it down a bit more, but it rode surprisingly well. | |

| The Yamaha factory Rack, the one that says 3Kg's max, what its actual max? What I mean is, has anyone really loaded it up and hit the trails hard to see what it can take? BR | |

| Givi E26N 26 Liter using rack supplied with the luggage. My opinion is its a good cheap luggage bought on ebay for $64, and pretty good build quality for the price. I use it for commuting to school. It fits my jacket gloves and other small items. Does not fit my dual sport helmet but will fit most sport bike helmets. | |

| How hard is it to get the Giant Loop bags off at the end of the day when you are staying in motels? I'm still looking for luggage where I can carry enough if I get stranded out but fairly light w/o much camping gear. Looking at GL and Wolfman among others. | |
