Good video, I noticed the bags on the Outback Motortek crashbars. I am thinking of doing something similar on mine for tire tubes and possibly tools or first aid kit (my every ride carry stuff). I am curious what you have in them, your thoughts on them and how they mount up to the bars? Do they cause any damage or scuffing to the bodywork underneath?
Thanks for the comment. These are drybags80 from SW Motech. Perfect fit and easy to attach to the crashbars. In case of fail (as you can see in my video) they are not going through the bars so absolutely no scratch on the plastics. Same fail without the bags, the wooden branches would have scratches the plastic.... After the crash, just had to zip tied the left bag, because the attach was broken. In these bags, I put electric pump, facom nano, zip ties, tubless repair kit, pain killers,,.... all wrapped in bubble protection, so no damage in case of crash. I'll do a complete review soon about all the bags, attachment and content....
@@mahieujf A review would be awesome, I look forward to it. I currently carry these items in a tail case, which works but I would like to move some of that weight lower and forward and the crash guards look like a good spot for it. Thanks for the reply.
I had Lomo drybags on the Outback Motortek crashbars of my CRF300 Rally. I dropped the bike 2 times, softly, low speed and the contents of the bags (my tools) changed the impact point of the bars and bended them. I managed to bend them back, but now I'm carrying my two small tool bags at the rear.
Seeing the thickness of the outback crashbars, you've achieved to bend them during a crash at low speed and to bend them back after ?? More generally speaking, advantage of the drybag80, they are "bigger" then the whole in the mliddle of the outbak crashbar, so they are not going "through" during a crash, and still Important to bubble wrap then before putting in your bag
2,500 km off-road now, with the occasional 1-hour highway stretch to connect to different trails. The setup is killer-super happy with it. Running now 1 bar front and rear for mixed on/off-road, and hardly any pressure loss in the high chamber at 100 psi (just a quick check every 2-3 weeks or before hitting the trails). Key things: follow the install specs and balance the wheel afterward to account for the rim lock on the Tubliss. Compared to tubes (and even with UHD I got flats), I only carry a tubeless repair kit and a mini pump, so I’m set for a 5-minute flat fix if needed (which, by the way, has never happened!) And if I want to be even more proactive, I can always add sealant for an extra layer of prevention. And unlike BIB foam (great if you are only riding local and pure enduro), I can do long highway runs... way more versatile for my dual-sport riding with this CRF Rally. I hope this covers your question and meets your expectations for information.
Nice video

Are you still happy with the Tubliss system after 6 months of use? I've been considering the system myself but have seen mixed reviews.

Fully agree. I plan à footage very soon on this then 😉. Also the tank bag and tail bag I am running are great solutions too.
