I'm looking at some soft luggage that would be used on my '07 EXC450 and SXC625. I don't have a rack on either and want to get the weight out of the camelbak. I think the Wolfman Day Tripper would work fine, (a 21" tube, irons, small air comp, some tools, some misc), but see the E-12 is 2x the size in terms of width, about 6.5" instead of 3.5". I suspect I wouldn't need the 6.5" often and could cinch the width in but having the 6.5" available when needed might be a good idea. I may want to carry a fuel bladder/bottle in one side when on the 625. Also how about the Giant Loop Mojavi? Anyone used these and have some recommendations? Thanks all.

Check out the Mojave from Giant Loop. LOVE this system on the EXC 450 (and now EXC 500). I talk about it more detail here. Birdman also chimed in with his appreciation for this bag on a dirt bike.

The Wolfman bags are all great, too. I'm sure you'd be happy with them. Get the larger one. I think you are right about being able to cinch it down with less stuff while having the capacity when you want it. With my Mojave, I find that even stuffed full, it's really not any wider than my own legs on the bike--so I don't have to think about it at all--and it does NOT move.

No rack needed. All you need is a heat shield on the exhaust that simply holds the plastic cover off the hot pipe when the bag is cinched down. It simply straps onto your pipe with 2 large stainless hose clamps.

I think the larger Giant Loop bags come with this shield included--at least mine did. So check before you buy a separate shield. There is nothing Giant Loop specific about this shield of course, you could use it with any system, and I bet Wolfman has something similar to offer.

You are welcome to borrow my Mojave for your next adventure to try it out.

Thanks for the reply Troy, the links were good too. I did some recon on youtube and the Mojavi had high marks so I think I'll go GL.

Thanks,
