2020 HONDA CRF450L PROJECT FEATURE P60 Luggage and Rack Finally, we wanted luggage to carry tools, layers of clothes, food and other things you want for an all-day adventure. We looked at several options and settled on the Giant Loop Mojave Saddlebag. It is a universal bag that will mount up to just about any off- road bike. To make it a little more secure, we also installed their GL Tail Rack, which is also a univer- sal mount. This provided a solid base for the back of the Mojave bag using one of the GL Pronghorn Straps and provided a mounting point for the GL fuel bag we noted earlier. We are really impressed with this whole setup as the materials and zippers are really durable, the mounting was extremely easy and quick, and it is great to spread the load to the bike rather than carrying everything in a backpack. The Pronghorn Straps are amazingly versatile, durable and a secure way to mount up any loose items, and come in multiple lengths. To add a little more storage space for items that you need more often, we also mounted the new Giant Loop Buckin' Roll Tank bag. This is also a universal product for off-road or ADV bikes and the based can easily mount in minutes with no tools needed. The top bag can be unzipped to leave the base and it has a clear top that can be used for a phone, map or notes. That top section has a sepa- rate Velcro enclosure. Giant Loop Mojave Saddlebag: $212.00. GL Tail Rack: $49. Buckn' Roll Tank Bag: $99.00. GL Pronghorn Straps: $19.00 to $23.00 per pair for various lengths. www.giantloopmoto.com We checked out many options for luggage and came away really happy with the Giant Loop Mojave. The universal mounting works well on just about any off-road bike and the GL Tail Rack added a secure mounting spot for the bags and the GL Fuel Bag using their ultra-durable Pronghorn straps. The Giant Loop Buckin' Roll tank bag is great for easy access your food, maps and other items.
