- Interesting, because BMW buys most of their bags from Krauser, and then put
- BMW badges on them. At least that was how it used to be a few years ago.
- And YES, I do have a BMW with BMW, er Krauser, bags on it. (R100RS -81).

- The bags are good, but the mounts are crap. Thin soldered tubes that crack
- from no load at all :-(. Almost lost one bag once due to that. Nowadays I
- always secure them with a strap across the saddle, even though I got an extra
- supporting spar welded between the mounts below the rear lamp.
