It is, once you have it ( mine since '05 ) you can't believe how you lived without it before, it's the best thing to come out of NZ. My larger 51 Litre Aero-Spada has 2 quick release clips taking no time to slip on and slip off the Rack and also has 2 hidden belts that can be used as a back pack and for Touring it zips quickly to my 35 Litre Aero-Delta pack ( which can also be used by itself ) to very simply increase carrying capacity to 86 Litres. Once on the bike it sort of sits like a very short perfectly stable pillion behind you and I even use them as convenient luggage when on Holidays in the cage with the family.
Those NZ green mussles are good too! Newly arrived on the shores of NZ is one of our ex-politicians from my little cave on the coast of Ogeron. A bivalve geneticist by profession and an asshole by choice. We expect him back the first time he starts telling the Blacks that they need a new dance..
Yeah BB, I saw that when I first looked at the site. Really not that far away. 2 hour ride for me after the border wait. I will have to see what the funds are like coming back from R3 and drop in there maybe pick some up. Then sell the Cortech ones I have which I actually quite like. Even though they are the same company as Tourmaster, who BTW finally agreed to give me a refund. Good grief.
I bought a set of Cortech the first year I went down to Atascadero California and that worked out quite well for those trips and a few others. But I don't think that set up is near as good as what I see on this post.
