I was looking around on the GS Penny Thread ideas on ADV and came across a guy that mounted tank panniers under the seat of the GS. Sooooooo.....
I got to thinking maybe it would work on the FJR?? I had a set of cheap Tusk ones that were too short to get all the way across and hang freely.
I then tried a set of wolfman bags which have adjustable straps. I had to do some creative routing of the straps but I got it worked out. The bags wouldn't work over the gas tank because it was too big and I couldnt find a way to run the straps to hold them down.
When I sit on the bike there is no problem with my legs getting in the way. One of the straps connects to the rear foot pegs/side bag hanger. The bottom of the bag rests on the rear foot peg, and has clearance from the exhaust, so it shouldn't get to hot.
Just an idea for people looking for more storage. Those straps hanging down are some extenders that were added, but I'll remove and get them out of the way.
