    Thanks Charla,

    Good to know these have high marks. My brother just bought the larger bagz for his DRZ. Would you suggest the large or small? I figured there is no reason not to have the exatra space as the large do not really extend out from the bike any further than the small bags.

    Correct. Get the larger ones. I had both, and they are both very good, but sometimes you need to carry more stuff.

    I have the larger Rangers on my KLX and they are great. I never even notice they are there and they never come off my bike. I'm kind of a more is better person, but there are others who will say the more space you have the more crap you'll pack that you don't need. :lol3

    Plus one on the larger Dirtbagz. Best deal on luggage I was able to find. I really like mine.

    Pants my daughter outgrew. Not sure if these are womens, or uni. The size inside says 28. The will only fit small people (~5'). I know she has a matching jersey that she outgrew, but I don't have a photo of it. Located in Ft. Collins.

    **Update - Paid Forward**

    I bought these cheap on clearance at MotoGear Outlet last year, tried them once, and decided I didn't like them. So, I'm not out much and that means it's time to pay it forward.

    FirstGear mesh gloves, size XXL. Really pretty nice, hard carbon look knuckle protection, little tiny vents, double leather in the palms.

    [​IMG]

    I would say the XXL size is about right, but I found the knuckle protectors bothered my (admittedly) knobby knuckles. I am also a glove slut who is always looking for the perfect pair (doomed to disappointment, most likely).

    I'm in Longmont, and will always accept trades marked "Something Stout" or "Something Brown Ale".

    Caberg Justissimo Helmet - XXL - Dark Gray/Black Metallic

    My main helmet for 5 years, just now replaced with a new Justissimo GT.

    It is still a good helmet, but rather than try to sell it, I would rather pay it forward since:

    - It is 5 years old, and helmets can degrade over time.
    - The face shield is lightly scratched, and those are never easy or cheap to source.

    By paying it forward, I figure that gives folks options that might find an older $300 helmet is better than the piece of junk they are using now, or maybe someone would like to try out a flip-front helmet with built-in sun visor without shelling out big bucks only to not like it.

    Reasonable?

    If so, it looks something like this:

    Never crashed, dropped a couple of times.

    Thanks for the gloves. So far I am loving them. I owe you some brown ale.

    To anyone who wants to come get it. It is not strong enough to hold a 350 lb bike. It also has a second rack to hold a smaller bike. Perfect for a Father and son/daughter who have a rig with a solid receiver hitch. It's a heavy s.o.b. and it's not in the best condition, but the price is right!:D
