Green Chile Adventure Gear Uprising Soft Rack/Touratech dry bag setup

[WenWa]

This will be a running commentary as I build this kit:
The goal is to go soft bags only without those ugly hoop and loop pannier attachments. I ride my bike naked most of the time (the bike, not me, you gutter heads).

So I got my Green Chile gear onto the bike. What a superb piece of gear.
It has four mounting points, two on the rear, two behind the rider.
I attached the two rear points to the bike's OEM rack, it leaves space that I can keep my Moose bag attached.
The right front side attaches to the rear peg. Easy.
The left front side I needed to get creative. The attaching strap is too short to get to the rear peg because of the exhaust. I took off the front seat and found a spot to wrap the strap. There was another area under the bike, but the strap was really close to the exhaust, which melt from heat.

First pic is the shipping box.
2nd the contents.
3rd the rack on.

I'll post pics later when I attach the 2 touratech (ortlieb) duffle bags and the two smaller Seal Line Drybags in the saddlebag position.

Added the Moose tail bag, 20L left dry bag by Sealline (cot and chair fit nice), 30L dry bag (stuffed a bunch of clothes), then added the 49L touratech bag stuff with camping gear and tent poles on the outside.

There's a 3 inch gap between the tailbag and the touratech, so could stuff something in there like a water bag, or readjust stuff to get rid of the gap.

The GCAG snake kit holds everything solid.

The exhaust doesn't effect the dry bag.

I've got 1 more 31L touratech bag I could put on if needed.

Went on a 50 mile ride, everything held tight. Everything should be watertight.


The last picture is to illustrate the left dry bag in relation to the exhaust.
