They look awesome, with their awesome quick release racks. I might look at getting some for the Himy (to use the latest bikermate expression). Thanks for sharing dude, as they say.
What though is not very clear is why:
A. The two bags on the quick release racks differ in size so much. 15 litres left (near side) 10 litres right (off side). I can only assume it is something to do with clearing the exhaust on the off side?
B. Why the lashing strap bag versions, which I assume are used with the generic Royal Enfield frame, differ greatly in size from the quick release bags. These bags seem to be 27 and 40 litres respectively, a huge difference over the other bags.
I must be reading Motech’s website wrong?
I might have to bimble along to the Great Portland Street branch of Infinity to find out:
I shall use the tube and / or bus if I do.

This is maybe a better structured review, than that in the opening post.

I am going to have a look at some as an alternative to my Himalayan’s Spam tins.
PS I quite like the Kriega steel core straps. I have a homemade length of plastic coated steel cable with eyelets on either end, which I can secure with a padlock. The cable and eyelets came from a yacht chandler’s; I think it’s the stuff they use to stop nautical types falling off the boat when they are pissed. I use it to secure my jacket and helmet if I go wander about on a jaunt. The steel core strap is probably neater.

Bugger.
SW-Motech’s ‘Find your nearest dealer’ function is crap. Infinity do not stock it, they only order it in. As I wanted to look at a bag, that was a wasted journey to London W1.
On a brighter note, the Kreiga steel core straps I ordered, turned up in short order.
