Jesse Bags & R1150R- thoughts?.

To the repondents thus far...
- "function over form", yes!
- "ugly", beauty is in the eyes of the beholder it's been said.
Lighten up guys- I'm simply trying to buid a bike that's useful for my intended purpose.
More and durable cargo capacity suits that purpose.
I don't need GS capabilities, we mostly just mill around the backroads of the US.
I'd really like to hear from some folks that have done this and see some pictures of their "conversions".

Pete - a member of our club, the BMW Motorcycle Owners of Georgia, did this application to their R1100R.... but sorry, I don't have any pictures.
I thought it looked good, and this person used the set-up for exactly the same purpose you intend.
No, their not sportin' but they sure do carry *a lot* more than the stock bags.... and are narrower, to boot!
The bike was sold a few years back, but I will ask for pics and post them here if I get them.

If you are only concrned about function, and looks just aren't that big of a concern... At the Paonia rally there was a bike with two Army ammo cans bolted to a piece of wood that was attached to the bike... oh how I wish I had a picture! VERY functional. Those cans are quite tough and waterproof! Cheap as well...

Pete,
I have often wondered the same thing and have searched (without any luck) for a picture of such. In my mind it wouldn't look to bad. and I'm sure I would prefer the the Jesse bags over the BMW's. currently I have the BMW city bags, which are ok for around town. But if I get serious I may well look at the Jesse system. Go for it,

You could check there for pictures

Paul Glaves had them mounted on his R1150R at the MOA Rally in Spokane and was very happy with them, he also uses the top case. There is also a picture in there brochure.
