TUSK Highland X2 Rackless Luggage System Base System Standard Heat Shield Black/Tan

I bought these to set up a new ADV bike (Tenere 700). I have Mosko gear on my GS and love it but was looking for a less expensive option for the T7. I figured since it's amazon, if I didn't like the Tusk bags they'd be easy to return. Once they arrived I mounted them up snd took a 4 day trip to Death Valley. I've gotta say, I'm really impressed. The bags mount up nicely and are very secure once on the bike. They do NOT move once secured. I was able to pack my regular ADV camping loadout into the two side bags and under the beaver tail. I had considered the smaller set initially, but glad I got the Highland. They are not all that large cmpared to my Mosko Backcountry 35 bags. All the Mole webbing is great for strapping on whatever else you need. Fabric seems really durablr. Stitching is great. Overall I think they are fantastic bags for under $100. I won't hesitate to take them anywhere.

Great for trips but not so much for everyday riding. This saddlebag system is great for small trips. The bags can hold a lot of items and include waterproof liners. I did find it a bit annoying for everyday riding, though. I wish I could have removed the top foldover portion. I felt as if I needed to have something under it, otherwise I had straps all over the place. Also, the side bags can be a pain to get into. Not the best for grocery shopping or just trying to add an item to the bag quickly. I swapped them out for a much more accessible bag, but will use them again for small trips.

If the instructions for installing the bags were better, I'd give it all the stars. For the money though, these are hands down the best value. The stood up to a nine day, 1000 mile off road trip with several wipeouts.I love the little pouch on the back for quick access to things like snacks, chapstick etc. The molle system works great. Skip the waterproof inserts they give you and use waterproof compression sacks and gallon zip lock bags. Oh and make sure you get the large water bottle holders. They worked extremely well for me.
