Bought this for a DR650 after trying soft sided saddle bags and panniers. I use the bike for adventure riding with some pavement and some two track and trails thrown in. Ultimately I hope to ride the bike on a several month trip across the States and into Alaska. I think the concept is great, but the actually product could use some work. The bag leaks even after following the instructions for applying the included seam sealer. The bag, according the Giant Loop, is designed for a minimalist approach. While I agree with this method of riding and camping, even with ultra light backpacking gear some things will have to be strapped to the outside, like the tent and sleeping pad. While this is not a problem, and the cam buckles do a fabulous job, it would be nice if there was a separate tarp flap that could cover extra gear. There is plenty of room inside the bag for small stuff, such and personal items, cloths, and tools. Forget about stuffing a large sleeping bag or sleeping system in there it just won't fit, I tried. The bag fits the bike well and I didn't notice it behind me. Overall the bag is good and I would probably buy it again. A little alteration would make it better for my application.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great bag! I give it a 4.5 / 5 - mounting system could be improved some.

I really like this bag, it's well thought out and built tough! It holds plenty of gear, but one of my complaints is that if you actually fill the supplied dry bags, it's impossible to close the zipper. The first time mounting was kind of a pain on my F800GS. It will take some time to figure out the proper mounting configuration. The fix would be to make the mounting straps separate from the compression system.
Good:
-Great water storage location
-Nice to have the central zippered compartment
-easy to organize with 5 separate compartments
-amazingly durable and stable when mounted
-Looks nice, super light weight compared to panniers
-Waterproof
-Most tent poles fit width-wise inside the bag

Needs improvement
-Would be nice if it came seam sealed
-The compression straps are the same as the mounting straps, and they cover the zipper. If you want to remove something like water the whole pack flops around.
-The strap loops on top are too tight to feed buckles through
-Could have used some more fabric around the zipper area to make closure a little easier when the bag is full.

Putting on and off is a breeze and the bag conforms to whatever you put in it. I like the super tough material so you don't worry about hitting a bush and tearing. Unlike the hard cases, this won't crack and the mounts don't break. The only drawback is having to use seam sealer (provided). It took me three nights to seal all of the stitching.

I wish the giant loop bag came with two heat shields, due to me having a KTM v-twin.

Using on a BMW R100GS. Lower attachment points will require some creativity as folding rear pegs want to fold under the pressure of the straps. I am currently using a separate cinch strap on the peg that the bag strap then attaches to. Plan on making a metal plate with a loop to go between peg and frame or possibly welding an attachment loop off the back of the existing peg bracket. But overall I think I am going to enjoy this set up!

So far I have used this bag riding 1200 miles of the Trans Am Trail (TAT) on a KLR 650. Also, I have used it on a trip across the conuntry on a R1200GSA. It works so much better than the hard bags I have previously used. The bag is better balanced when strapped on and does not move no matter what the road conditions. Less weight as well. Had I known about this bag earlier I would have saved a LOT of money by not buying hard bags and liners or the racks it takes to mount them. Water proof as well. .It's my choice for any trip requiring packing.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a great do-it-all luggage system for the rider that wants to pack light when on the go. On the one hand, it will take you longer to attach and remove (properly) than factory hardcases, but it's considerably less bulky and awkward when in motion because of its closer proximity to the bike's center of gravity. Lanesplitting is no problem, because of how closely it can secured to the sides of the bike.
The inner compartments are well planned and laid out, and the external attachment points for bungees/tents/what-have-you are well-appreciated.
Pros Rugged, Comfortable, Great Value
Yes, I recommend this product.

Best luggage purchase I've ever made
PostedOctober 18, 2010

I bought the Great Basin in a luggage emergency, I'd broken my left pannier off while trying to cross a snowy patch. I love this bag. It holds tons of stuff, you get all the stuff sacks that maximize the volume and the product quality is the best I've seen.
I used this bag while riding off roads on a 4 day trip. The bag keeps the weight held firmly against the bike and held it higher and closer than panniers. A bonus was when I was tired of standing I could plop my behind onto the top of the bag.
Pros Rugged, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

Is one heat shield included, i.e. if I have dual exhaust do I need to purchase an additional shield??

Answers
Answer:
One heat shield is included, it attaches with a worm screw hose clamp. Most likely you would need to add another if you have dual exhaust. On my application the heat shield might not have been necessary based on how the exhaust fits. I put it anyway for good measure.1 day ago
Answer:
I use this on my KTM 990 Adventure. I mounted it to my passenger seat so I didn't need any shield. If you mount behind your seat you will need two.Age: 55-64
