Long term test
I have had one of these for years. It is faded and looks more yellow than high viz now. It did have a stitch come lose at the top of the bag on the inside. I would say it has a minimum of 15 years on it. I got it to make me legal coming on military installations and now I am retired and keep it because it works. I ride in rain all the time and have even used it in hail and snow. I had it on the roads in Europe so it saw plenty of high speed testing. Keep everything snapped and tightened down and the bag will work. I have used it on my GSXR 1000, SV1000s, M109R and even my DRZ400SM and nobody has laughed at it yet so I would say it wins in being excepted. If you are getting this bag and thinking about going from a GSXR 1000 to an M109R because someone told you it was still fast, they lied. The M109R has a flat spot from idle to redline but is more comfortable so you may be tempted to pack more stuff in it and go on that really long trip. That is when you will rip out the stitches on the inside top. Just stay on the fast bikes and you won't be tempted to go so far and it may last longer than you.
