If you like the Outdoorsman bags but wish they were a bit bigger, there is help for you, without going to the Journey bags. The Outdoorsman bags are Hepco & Becker 30 Liter Junior bags. Hepco & Becker also makes 40 Liter Junior bags. They have the same dimensions in Length and Height, but they're roughly 3" deeper. We just bought a set from a Moto Guzzi dealer for Terri's Ss for the ridiculously low price of $300.00. I guess he bought a bunch, and now he's trying to move them and generate some cash flow. Anyway, it's a damned good deal, and I just thought I'd share it with folks here. I don't want to violate board policy by putting up details here, but if anyone wants to know who, what , where & when, e-mail me at nmweast at verizon dot net | ||

can you post a picture? Do they fit the same? I might consider bigger for trips only, and, keep the standard outdoorsman for around town. | ||

I think these are the same as one guy had at Last Ride. The Outdoorsman have, if you look at them, a main body "bucket", with a narrow "lid". These, the lid was just as deep as the bucket. If that makes sense. | ||

Rat, the lids are the same. The body or "bucket" on the 40s is about 3" wider. I'll post a picture tonight when I get home from work | ||

John, Suppose a person could just replace the 30 liter lids with 40 liter lids? Sage has 30 liter outdoorsman bags on his 07' and they are a bit small. (Message edited by electraglider_1997 on January 14, 2010) | ||

Craig, the lids are the same; it's the body or "Tub" that's deeper. Notice where the latches are to get the proper perspective:  | ||

I have te 40L Juniors and like 'em a lot. They're definitely wide, but I can get my full-face helmet inside. I did not get the turn signal remount kit that comes with the package - seemed ridiculously expensive. (That should explain the hack-job signal relocation.)  | ||
| Jim_williams |
hmmmmmmmmm. Now you got me thinking.. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Aaah. I must have seen the seam at Last Ride and thought it was the lid gap. Those're the bags, though. | ||

Those are nice, Crusty. Email sent. I need to figure out the side rack situation, because I am without side racks. Although I do have a top rack from Palmer Products... I'm interested, just need advice on how to mount. And is the top outdoorsman available through HD at some point? | ||
| Electraglider_1997 |
John, I'm assuming the $300 price is just for the bags or did that price also include the frame racks for a Guzzi? | ||
| Ratbuell |
Top rack for Outdoorsman and Journey cases is the same. Only the side racks are different. | ||
| Crusty |
Craig; With the mounting racks, he wanted $375. I thought that was a pretty good deal; but when he said he'd sell just the bags for $300, I had to jump. | ||
| Bculy |
Very nice. How can I get a set with the side racks. | ||

Dam...they look like Fred Flintstone bags! |
