HT SU racks with a pair of E36's http://www.kingsqueak.org/klr650/ I think it looks pretty well balanced, the racks come out evenly.> I am thinking of buying some Givi sidecases and don't know whether to > go with two E36's or one E36 and an E45 for the non-exhaust side.

Just a word in favor of the Givi E21s. Top-loading, pop off like the side- loading Givis, and carry like a suitcase. They are small, that is to say, no bigger than a pannier ought to be on a KLR, but my iBook will go in there, not that I would ever carry it there. They work nicely with the HT PL racks, which will also accomodate Ortlieb clip-ons. The PL racks look better than the SUV racks with the bags off, IMHO.> > Unsubscribe by sending a blank message to:
I have a set of the Givis on my Suzuki GS1150 and made the decision to go with panniers on the KLR, based on my experience on the Suzuki. On a street bike they work great, I like being able to pop them on and off as long as I'm not packing groceries. I've had falls off road that don't think the Givis would have survived.

They won't look very good afterward, but they will still work.
