I have the SWmotech bash plate and cage on order...

Yes, that huge bash plate is fucking disgusting.

I went and did some riding on mine yesterday playing photo tag.

No hideous skidplate on my bike

My bags are made by Micatech. The bags are all the same and they make mounting hardware for a bunch of different models - V-strom included.

I love them. Waterproof, secure, and huge.

Yep, I have the V2 cases. I also love em. I have the internal bags for them, too. Makes packing so much easier.
