Great piece of kit. I purchased the optional Cruz tools kit as well. Stows easily and the included waterproof cover s nice touch to keep tools and parts out of the dirt on the trail side.
I use the Pinner for my bike specific tools while I have the Fatty for the rest of them. The Pinner is the perfect size to keep all of the factory tools as well as some extras.
It's made super well, is durable, and well thought out. A must have for your packing needs. Holds everything you need, super durable, tools stay put and don't fall out. My only wish is that it were slightly larger to hold spare levers.
I highly recommend it as-is. Updated product images coming soon! Fatty too big? Roll a Pinner! CruzTOOLS has been crafting powersports-specific handtools for over 20 years, and they come with a lifetime warranty. It's the same set of tools we sell with the Fatty. What else can we say? A tool roll seems so old-school, like something a cowboy would've carried, or a biker gang in the 50s. Surely there's a better, more modern way? With more research though, we came around.
For one, you can get up to 24 liters of capacity with a set of Medium Rolie bags or 12 liters with a set of Small Rolies, and that cargo is held lower on the bike for better weight distribution. Another issue solved by the Tank Panniers is giving the rider additional crotch clearance.
Many riders run into space issues while in the standing position and choose to avoid tank bags altogether. Tank Panniers offer a solution for this problem, although you do give up some leg room in the seated position. And with the Wolfman base design you are also not locked into a particular capacity, giving you an option to pick and choose what size bags you want to mount. With these benefits in mind, we were eager to give the new Wolfman luggage system a try, and the perfect opportunity arose when we set out for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Getting the base hooked on was straightforward and made even easier with crash bars offering easy-access mounting points. However, the Pannier Base can be installed without any crash bars. We also tested them on a KTM Adventure sans crash bars and easily found ways to get the bags mounted by routing the lower straps around the tank. The adjustability of the mounting straps and the multiple cut outs for strap placement, give you a range of different options for getting the base secured and positioned where you want them.
Just remember to double back the top tank mount straps through the buckle or they can begin to slip during the ride. With the base strapped in, attaching the Zip-R bags takes just a few minutes and they are locked on with very little movement. They can be removed even more swiftly if you need to make a swap or want to take your belongings with you into a hotel or tent.
Configuring bag position to avoid blocking any tank cooling vents, was also not an issue on either of the two machines. Weight distribution is always a concern when your bike is loaded with extra gear and adding too much weight up high can negatively impact handling. With the weight being carried on the sides of the tank, it does seem to distribute the load rather effectively.
Plastic surfaces, being softer, may be more susceptible to marring. Our luggage is designed to mount securely and to minimize vibration and rubbing. However, dirt and grime caught between a bag and a finished surface can act as an abrasive and hasten visible damage.
Ultimately, using anything will result in wear. Riding a motorcycle will result in an accumulation of rub-marks, scratches, dings, and scuffs that indicate time well spent.
All our WP welded product bags are manufactured using the latest in radio frequency welding technology RF. RF welding gives us waterproof seams. No stitching, stitch holes or rain covers. We have added Zipper openings to our product line for ! The AquaGuard zipper is a quick and easy method of opening and closing the bag but that convenience comes with some added maintenance especially in dry, dusty conditions.
Our new Zippered Wolfman Luggage will perform as expected under most circumstances. Even when properly using the very best Wolfman Waterproof or Water Resistant Luggage along with any secondary methods of keeping water out, there is still a slight chance that your stuff will end up wet.
