About this much too small: |______|

Does anyone use one of these on their KLR? Do you use it off-road, and does it interfere with stand-up riding, ie getting your weight forward over the bars when hill-climbing? Thanks, Devon

Devon, I use a big ass Chase Harper tank bag and load it up so it looks like i wont fit on the bike. Then when I get on i dont notice it. The only thing is that when ya wanna stand up you have to lean forward on the bag to do so but it hasnt got in th way at all. I consider my tank bag my best add on for my KLR. Other than my Harley Davidson seeking auto-fire missle syste. Brett

That is so bloody amazing I've been smiling about it all morning. I've probably read 10 ride reports where guys fly their bikes out of Deadhorse because they can't face the mud, cold, and trucks for the return. You take your Yorkie and no problem. The KLR is gnarly but you are a beast. Chris MacAskill '01 KLR
