Super-Sport-Touring Set Up

It is Techspec, but I think it's the snakeskin pattern. It's been on for about 2 years now, and has never budged. They aren't as grippy as Stompgrip, but they do help. The stompgrip I had on my last bike started sliding around after a few seasons. I think the hot - cold - hot cycles killed the adhesive.

Great setup!

I would caution on one thing. Be sure you secure the rain covers somehow where they wont' come off.

My Moto-Fizz bag from Aerostich had a drawstring for the rain cover as I recall, and the drawstring wasn't enough to hold it at 70mph. It literally lasted less than 10 minutes. I haven't woried about it, as by the design of the bag it is water resistant anyway, but just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the tip! These also have a drawstring & a toggle to lock the string tight, but I don't know how well it will work.

Black bungee cords in a criss-cross pattern over the rain covers keeps them from flying away.

I think that the strings will tie together once it's pulled tight... That may help a bit.
