Tusk Pilot Pannier Bags | Affordable ADV Luggage | KLR 650 Gear Review | Island ADV
I was shocked at how much stuff you get when you order this luggage set from Tusk. The bags, the racks, and more. Let’s give the Silver Fox a luggage upgrade.

This video is proof that the KLR650 is a great bike to ride, work on and explore the back roads. Awesome 😎

@IslandADV 2 месяца назад

Thanks! It sure is a fine machine for adventuring.

@armadilllo 10 месяцев назад

I got the large bottle holders, 2 liter 7up bottles fit perfectly in each one. I carry lots of water in them.

@IslandADV 10 месяцев назад

Very cool. I didn't know they had bottle holders larger than these. That's great. I'm always looking to carry more water.

@AdventureTomek 2 года назад

Thats whats so cool with this kit.... you can use those Tusk Pannier Racks for the Hard or Soft Tusk Panniers! Looking forward to trying out my hard cases this coming riding season. Thanks for the shoutout Island ADV

@IslandADV 2 года назад

You're welcome buddy. It's going to be a great season for some moto camping.

@GlobalWalkabout 2 года назад

I love the way you open the back door to 1 m of snow and casually pluck a can of drink out of it like that is just normal everyday behaviour 😂🤣😂

@IslandADV 2 года назад

It's a time honored tradition out here. Everytime we get a big dump of snow, people are always posting pics of their new organic refrigerators, lol.

@black_widow_overland 2 года назад

Tomek has a great channel !!! Hoping to get to ride with him this summer.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

That's right, you're both down near that way a bit eh. That would be so fun.

@edquier40 Год назад

I just bought the Tusk racks and soft bags. The instructional video from the manufacture was lacking everything on mounting the soft sides. Your video explained a lot. Thanks for the info eh!

@IslandADV Год назад

I'm glad it helped. There's probably more than one good way to strap these on too, but this way works great for me. I just spent two days riding hard trail with them fully loaded (rough dirt road, old Creek bed, climbs, and descents). They didn't budge.

@chrisstonedrums1182 2 года назад

Great video! I have the same set up, and bought hard cases too! Love being able to switch out quickly! One suggestion, get the aluminum flat backing plates for the soft bags. Makes it super easy to switch back and forth to hard cases, also you can remove the 2 top straps if not overloading them with too much. I didn’t like that strap across the seat, over time that will mess up the seat covering. The locking hand knob is also a brilliant idea when using hard cases, very secure and hard to walk away with! I too was very impressed with everything you get, and quality is right up there!

@IslandADV 2 года назад

I think I'll definitely get the back plates this winter. I just got back from a big trip and I really was wanting that quick release system for the bags. But these really held up though. So far I've been camping twice with them and they are great. They held on through some wild trail riding too.

@lynwoodspire8503 Год назад

I bought the Pilot bag’s thinking they had a quick detach like the Olympus bags, not so. I’m going to modify my bags and make them quick detachable with some aluminum sheeting on the inside and outside of the bag and attach it to the included quick release bracket that came with my Tusk racks. At least that’s my plan. It’s unknown why they don’t make them quick detachable like the Olympus bags.

@IslandADV Год назад

That's my biggest/only issue with these bags. They are sturdy, deep, and can take a wipeout for sure, but man they take a long time to get into and to mount. Once I mount the bags, they don't come off, and I usually don't open them up until I get to camp. Tusk does make a quick disconnect plate for them, but that's more money. I'd be very interested to see what you design for a quick connect.

@advphilnb 2 года назад

Dude! That set-up looks sick! Ol'Fox is looking foxy! Nice upgrade from the well-loved saddlebags. Looking forward to seing your other luggage plans. Great editing on the install. Cheers to the free snow cooler, keep well brother!

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Thanks brother. It was a fun install and went together pretty smooth. I can't wait to see how much gear they'll carry.

@SkunkMonkey991 Год назад

I got a kick out of when you opened the door and grabbed a ice cold brew. We dont see a lot of that in SWFL.

@IslandADV Год назад

Lol, yes we had a crazy snow storm. That week. I makes for a great natural fridge. Cold as ice.

@94SexyStang Год назад

Huge fan of soft luggage, dropped SO many bikes and never had a problem, very aerodynamic too.....with hard luggage you run the risk of damage or tweaking stuff....and it's Always acting as a huge Sail for many bikes, even empty.... But I still love the Looks of hard case better.

@IslandADV Год назад

It's funny you mention it today. We were out in the woods into the mud and I had the hard case on. Got 100yards into the trail and the Hardcase clipped a downed tree. Spun the KLR right around. Took the hit like a champ though. Luckily no damage.

@Maritimer 2 года назад

Hey Nice set up ! it's a lot like my MoskoMoto soft bags, but cheaper. haha Nice video man ! Keep up the good work.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Thanks. For the longest time I wanted to get a Mosko Moto R80, but the dollars kept going elsewhere in the budget. Mosko is the gold standard though. No question. I'm excited take these camping though.

@coachp7486 2 года назад

Great video ! I have a set of Caribou (Pelican type) hard cases but want a soft set alternative as well. Like this system and am thinking .. 🤔. Actually thought that first bottle you had maybe sprung a leak. 😜 Great job, again, and thanks for sharing ! 👍🏽

@IslandADV 2 года назад

You know what, I actually bought a really good pelican style hard case from Princess Auto that I'm going to mount on these. The other side will have a big water jerry. Lol about the bottle, it's funny, that's first case of Schooner I've bought in years actually. It went pretty fast. Kept reminding me of Friday nights at Dooly's in Moncton, lol.

@coachp7486 2 года назад

Lol. I think your ammo can idea would be a great option. I always thought Ron C’s alice pack idea was kinda cool too. With either of these, or both, and a green hard case as a tail bag and your set ! And some soda pops thrown in for good measure ! 💪🏽

@696969640 2 года назад

i got that same cooler lol yep we got alot of snow this winter on the island

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Yes sir, there's a 6 foot drift in the backyard right now, lol. Looks like we'll get break from it this weekend though.

@black_widow_overland 2 года назад

I’m thinking the Tusk hard panniers are what I’m gonna go with. I have hard pelican cases right now.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

I saw the pic of your bike there on Insta with the cases. They look really good. Originally when I got the KLR I was going to do ammo cans, but they gave me all the KLR luggage when I bought the bike. After that, I really started liking the soft stuff. But, I've got a plan to create a trail riding build for fox that will include a big pelican case. These racks are just perfect for that.

@michiganmoto7687 4 месяца назад

Hard cases are leg breakers.

@brianbennett6978 2 года назад

Have the same setup except the bags. I mounted a 3” pvc pipe on the inside of the left rack for my tools. With a thread on cap and hasp to lock them up with.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

That's super smart about the tool case. I want to actually install a peice of pipe on one side to mount a jerry can. I just got a rotopax style one for it.

@brianbennett6978 2 года назад

@@IslandADV thought about putting a piece of plywood on the inside of the bag and bolting the soft bag to the metal mount. That way I could remove the bag just like a hard bag.

@garyrourke3284 Год назад

Great video….my concern is the bag itself is only water resistant you need the inner dry bags to make it completely waterproof ….have you experienced any water or humidity inside the bags??

@IslandADV Год назад

Thanks! The bags on their own are not waterproof you're right. But kit in the dry bags is fine in the rain. We rode for almost 2 hours in constant rain this summer, and all the dry bagged kit was dry with no humidity or condensation. I don't mind the dry bags though. I actually like them for storing kit in camp.

@andrewtreloar7389 Год назад

Great video mate, well done! I think I am going to go with the Tusk Olympus panniers - simply because I can use the quick release mechanism and take them off in seconds. If you need to dismount them in a hurry - thunderstorm and stow them in a tent or motel room, or to avoid theft, this option can't be beat! The Olympus panniers, combined with the 33litre duffel should be ample storage space and carrying capacity.

@IslandADV Год назад

I was looking at those quick disconnects. They look great. And that would certainly be my only big issue with these, the time it takes to get them on and off. I'll have to do an update video to this for sure. Lots of things learned after a season riding with these. Cheers.

@andrewtreloar7389 Год назад

@@IslandADV yeah, do it!

@Overland4All001 2 года назад

Well, it looks amazing on the bike, !! I've always preferred soft luggage ... not a fan about hard top, and side cases as they are very dangerous, to you and the bike ! If you watch my videos, you'll see one only bag of 60 L, on the back and I have the commitment not to add much more !! I´m always looking for loosing weight and volume, as the SET is kinda completed ... optimize is the word !! I still have room to go higher, and I´m trying to solve the "fridge" problem, that still goes on my back, LOL ... but I thing I'de prefer to go on those horse shoes soft bags ... the difference is that, they don't have to install and have all those hard frames !! I fall a lot, LOL, and everything in the way is a threat ... but I get the concept, and in your case, it looks amazing and I think it's much better than hard luggage. You did well !!! Wanna see more adventures, LOL. Bring on !!! Cheers

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Yeah originally I wanted to get a Mosko Moto R80 set but I didn't have the dollars. I love soft luggage too, and I like how these match the style of the bike. Hopefully they can can take the punishment, lol. I too fall a lot. Cheers brother.

@SwankyCatProductions 2 года назад

The loctite clip made me laugh out loud. I won't even buy the liquid stuff anymore, always makes such a mess. I probably waste more of the gel stuff but at least it's easier to control.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Lol, yeah I was wondering why it wouldn't come out then, splah!! Everywhere, lol.

@user-jw3il8ev6o 2 года назад

Another great video Island ADV. I was on the fence on what type of side bags to get, now I am not. What are your thoughts about crash bars? I am leaning toward DirTracks. I have a 2022 klr

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Thanks! I've heard great things about dirt racks. Especially for the 2022 gen 3. They offer a great wrap around style and cover a lot more of the front end. I'd get them if I had a gen 3 for sure.

@user-jw3il8ev6o 2 года назад

@@IslandADV Thank you for such a quick response. I will get a look at their 2 options and make my order, do you have an affiliate link with them? If so I will order through that link.

Goodmoring like beer cooler and beer the ugly stick 4 piece rod on top room for fishing gear.droneand electronics can go to the tank bag for charging.

@IslandADV 2 года назад

I have a tank bag on the way actually and I was thinking of the same thing. I think what I'll do is get the whole bike packed up with all the luggage and do a video to show how it all looks. I'm excited to see what new stuff I can take camping now.

@jamocam9656 2 года назад

Hey great video .... looking to buy a set , curious were you able to get free shipping from RMATV ?

@IslandADV 2 года назад

Yeah I can't wait to put them through a good weekend of motocamping. I was not able to get free shipping to Canada so that adds to the cost a bit. The dollar amount. With shipping, taxes, and after USD to CAD conversion, this whole set, racks included, came out to around 670.

@jamocam9656 2 года назад

@@IslandADV I calculated the same , thanks for the info !

@michaelsoberanes 11 месяцев назад

Hey, any wobbling with your panniers? Even high speeds?

@IslandADV 11 месяцев назад

No actually. The way I strap them down in this video keeps them rock solid. I do recommend packing them a bit and then racking them on as you end up getting a tighter mount that way for whatever reason. But we routinely do highway speeds up to 120 km/h without issue.
