Great bags, Grant, et al. I'd make one change only; lower the side panel reflective strips. They might be more effective that way. Ron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@goo

They do look beautiful, but I have a couple of hopefully constructive comments: I'd go with double straps and no dowel in the lid for these reasons: 1. Severly overstuffing will round out the bag, and the dowel in the lid will make the lid fit poorly. 2. I doubt these straps will ever break, but y

I think I know. It involves the black cords and the little orange balls. As shown, only one side would be strapped down by that method. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it. (which means it's probably 99 44/100 percent wrong). Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Apr 16, 10:54�pm, doug peterson wrote

The one piece with the carrying strap is perfect for carry on luggage. I've taken to putting my separates in a duffel just because they never stay together. And look at those D-rings! The tent & sleeping pad go there. This is looking way-cool. Can't quite figure out the attachments from the ph

I dunno. With the construction method, methinks they are closer to true saddlebags. They do look nice. Not sure I need a pair but am sure tempted. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Apr 16, 7:14�pm, happyriding wrote: > On Apr 16, 6:12�pm, happyriding wrote: > > > Take a look: > > >http://www.rivbi
