Jesse Safari Luggage II

Here is a Jesse setup on the R 1200 GS Adventure, a complete photo documentation submitted by David (member drmajor). He writes to the installation:

Here's some shots of the Jesse Safari bags installed.

Installation takes some figuring out as the instructions are weak, at least
to me. If they had included some good photos, it would help.

I had to align the right side to make it connect with the rear support.
Just took some time to figure out what to do.

Need to loctite everything.


Thanks David! Have fun with this great setup!

Jesse Safari

Well,
I put my first 400 miles on the new Jesse Safari bags on my 07 GSA.

They are nice to use- so far. I haven't tried to really pack them- but just threw stuff into them for a 200 mile trip for the 600 mile service. Holding 118 Liters, they seem very roomy.

They also seem stable, although we'll see when I get on some dirt/gravel roads.

Issues-
1- they are snug so have to be removed slowly- at least for now
2- What to do for a top box? I think something like the Jesse Glove Box will be needed to get the Top Box up enough to allow the saddle bags to open.?? Jesse is supposed to be coming out with one with a quick release.- we'll see.

Finish- very good
Fit - tight


Mods- I put car body side molding on the bottoms to keep them from getting scratched when setting on the ground.
