I just got a set of Tim's SU's and can say quality is job 1. They're awesome, and I got the 4 point option (rear bumber). This was important to me because it makes it MUCH easier to lift and move around on the trail and in my garage. Today I'm parting company w/my streetbike (82 Yamaha Maxim 60K+ never a problem). Now I'll have room for some luggage, can anyone talk me out of Aerostitch Dry Bags ?

I currently own the Kawasaki soft bags (and like them). I don't plan on putting hard sidebags on the bike, but am planning on mounting a large ammo case on the back rack. Question: What are the current feelings/suggestions on which rack system I should buy? Both look adequate. Was going to go with Tim's Origionals, but have pretty much decided I want the wrap around kind to tie to in the back. Shoot, could use it to drag a deer out some season. Little help...please?

why would we want to? they're superb...only downside is their a tat on the small side...if you get tired of them you can sell them on this list in about 4 nanoseconds...

I disagree, Arne and Tim are both great guys and they're in the process of developing the maturity to appreciate that in one another. Neither started making racks to make a killing it is a labor of love. Tim finances his Christian ministries with it, Arne gets a respite from the law enforcement stresses. As for the consumers, we can help spread the word for both of them. A buyer can't go wrong with either because both of them will bend over backward to satisfy the customer and the back up their product 100%. So, let's sing their praises... Kurt

I must say that the choice I recently made was to go with Tim Bernard, and his NW rack and Givi luggage. I decided on the panniers only since I'm 5'9" (1.75m) and getting my leg over top of a rack box would be tough. (read: impossibble) Speaking briefly to Mr. Bernard, he was quite friendly, helpful, knowlegeable... Ooops, I forgot, most all the folks on the list probably know all this already! Cut to the chase. I got in my NW rack and a couple 36 liter hard luggage pieces. Shipping was quick, service good, and heck, the price wasn't even bad! I just mounted them on my bike an hour ago, and I can say the fit and finish are top-notch. It's a real beaut, the whole package together! Looks like excursions will be made much easier now, as there won't be junk piled sky high behind me when I go camping or on road trips. To finish things off, Mr. Bernard had the sheer audacity to send message to me that he was subscribing me to the Dual Sport News magazine, at his expense! *lol* Is this customer service or what? So I get great luggage, the mount for it, and an unanticipated subscription to a magazine that all seem to think of as, "#1". All good medicine, Chris Astier

Very well said Kurt. This was nice to read from the list for a change. Steve

Thanks for forwarding the message Mike. I talked with Bill on April 6 and he described the heart procedure. He was very optimistic and based on that I made a "ride-in" appointment for July. He was a very interesting guy to talk to and his saddle design is a legend. Kurt

Tim, I don't recall seeing this sub...are you sendiing it? Kurt
