Last October, I took a ride down to Arkansas and on the way back, I ended up riding about 6 hours worth of rain. I have the OEM side cases and know first hand that they are not waterproof, nor was the duffle I had strapped across the pillion area of the seat. So I started researching solutions and found the following, Seattle Sports Hydroliner . I haven't received them yet, but they are on sale, and I expect that they will keep my stuff dry! FYI. Cabela's is a home state business, but I'm not an employee or stockholder.

Dry bags are built tough for sport I think the best deals I found were on Climbing sites. I used dry bags in my big excursion bags when hiking, in down poors water will find a way in.

Monk said peeps :fing02: he is even more fresh and dope than I am.

Word to your mother!

I like freezer bags, larger than normal supermarket size. I pack a day's underwear, t-shirt and socks in each. Then in the morning I just pull a single bag out of the confusion and go. On long trips, repack the same way after laundry. Trousers, sweaters, etc get their own bags.

To get back to the original point, I started doing this as waterproofing.

That's a really great idea.

I remember when I had my 6th gen I rode for hours and hours in a hard down pour and my stuff was dry in the OEM bags. Are you sure the rubber gasket sealy thingy is in the right spot or not kinked or something?
