Saddlebag question
I searched around, but couldn't find this information, maybe I'm phrasing it incorrectly in the search. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone knew the approximate size/capacity of the saddlebags on the Nomad. Like X number of liters or something. I'm guessing they are smaller than the Givi's I currently use on my Concours, but was just wondering.
Thanks. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Saddlebag question
approximate size of the saddlebag liners is 21"x 13.5"x 7" = 1984.5 x 2 = 3969 cu. in.

Saddlebag question
24 pack is only 288 oz. or 4.5 gallons.
I think you need to seal that baby up, cork the top and put a tap on the side to make full use of the other 3.8 gallons!

Saddlebag question
Thanks everyone.
Now about that 24 pack... what I've heard that some Concours riders do is put in a 6/12/whatever pack, put in a bunch of ice, then at the end of the ride (hotel/campground/whatever) have a nice cold one. I need to try that some time. Anyway, the sound a little smaller than my Givis (46 liters each) but not enormously so. Plus I've been reading the touring bag thread, for the times I travel and need more. |
