You said there were things you didnt like about the SW Motech cases, what is it you dont like?

@Jeremybaland Sorry again - missed this note, too! I don't like how flimsy the TraX cases feel (and proved to be - had an off in Guatemala that completely ripped off one of the plastic caps, and I used stickers to hold it together until Colombia when I got a metal piece riveted there). I don't like the plastic caps; the rubber seal is flimsy and comes off; they're not fully waterproof. But the new gen addresses some of these shortcomings (and others) - I would buy again.

Did you try to set the Trax top Box. Your setup is pretty nice.

@yanickdery Wow, just saw your note - was in Colombia on the bike when you left it, sorry! I did not use the TraX top box, although I do have the attachment plate for it and use it as a rack to tie down stuff across the back. I ended up with a dry sack across the seat for my tent and sleeping mat, the sleeping bag in another dry sack on top, and a spare gas can where the top case would be.

@dacharyc Ok thanks. Im glad I didnt go with the Trax. I bought Jesse bags and so far I have no complaints. They are water proof very durable and 37 inches across with 100L combine.
