Giantloop Great Basin Description
Introducing the Great Basin Saddlebag by Giant Loop, the latest addition to our growing family of motorcycle luggage solutions. Designed specifically for BMWs, Suzuki V-Strom, KTM 950, 990, Adventure and SE models, 690e, Kawasaki KLR 650 - and just about any other machine with the capacity to carry a passenger – the Great Basin™ is our soft luggage problem solver for adventure touring bikes.
Of course, this DOES NOT REPLACE the Giant Loop Coyote, which is the best choice for hard-core off-road expeditions on a true dirt bike or dualsport. But the Great Basin brings that same tough, tailored performance to bigger machines. We put the bag where the passenger goes. Tell your buddy to get her own bike – that seat’s taken!
This system will stay with you from bike to bike without needing to invest in expensive metalwork racks ON EACH BIKE. Get used to your Great Basin, grow with it and develop a perfectly packed and functional kit list. Keep it packed with your kit, ready to go at a moments notice. Over time the pack will become instinctive, "tool kit and spares in right pod, food kit in left pod, fuel bottle in left bottle holder, brew flask in the right, sleeping bag in left stuff sack, underwear in right, washkit and day clothes in the topbox, shoes stuffed in 'the lid', tent and mat strapped to the back with pot attached as well." JOB DONE!

Questions on Giantloop Great Basin
1 Item(s)
- From john at 17/09/2011 13:15
- can this product be used together with the wolfman saddle bags? ie will the legs fit over the saddle bags or in front of the bags?
I also have a kappa top box on board a KLR650 - I think the depth (front to back) of the bag would be more of an issue if you plan to mount this in front of the top box. It would probably take up too much of the seat area. Its difficult to say whether the 'legs' would interfere with the saddle bags without details of the rack you're using.
I think it might be a better bet to keep the Giantloop Great Basin system and the Wolfman Expedition system seperate. They are designed to do fundamentally different things, ie.
Dump the top-box and rack and go with a Giantloop Great Basin plus the Great Basin Dry Bag, for the 'fast and light' approach for minimal weight, maximum rideability on and off road.

Wolfman Expedition Saddlebags (mounted on a rack) with a Wolfman Expedition Dry Duffle should work well with your top-box setup if you really need that much capacity (another debate there). There are three sizes of duffel, plus a variable capacity double-ended version, see links below
