The downside is mounting a handle bar bag like an Ortlieb means it's really far forward, you can't open it easily while riding. I'm tempted to get some Koga Denhams just so the handlebar bag would be further back, but you've gotta stop collecting bars sometime, right? Right?
chuckle. I was sorely tempted to get a pair of Denhams, but at the time I was thinking of this, you could only order them from Europe and with shipping etc, they would have been well over 200 Canadian, and I just wasnt willing to spend that much on something I really didnt need.
