I'm hoping folks will share photos of their bikes loaded up with as much camping gear as they could figure out how to carry!!! What has worked well and what was a disaster! Tank bags, fender bags, saddle bags, you name it, I'd sure appreciate some ideas if you would take a minute and post your adventure pics here.

We are wanting to start doing some back country camping off the bikes and I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel here. We can get pretty remote in eastern Oregon just off existing roads, so we are not worried about busting off cross country with an extra 100 lbs on the bikes.

Thanks much.

The mountain runs we did last week in 80 degree weather are getting snow today - I smell cabin fever coming.....

Thanks for the really great idea!

I had tried the search function and was looking for more specific input. I hadn't found what I was looking for. It might have been previously discussed, but I didn't pick up what I thought would work for me.

have you looked at the dirt bagz?

check this long thread out.

X2, check out Advrider ...... lotsa good pictures


IMO the rear of the frame needs to be reinforced, theres alot of good pictures of that on advrider.

I have the Dirtbagz on my bike and think they are great BUT I'm going to reinforce the rear of my frame and modify the dirt bagz racks and weld them to the frame......

I wish I would have just made my own racks.......
