Default A different kind of tour pack

I don't usually post stuff like this but thought this was pretty cool and I did get their permission to post these pictures. Kirk over at Sumo-X sent me these pictures of a new tour pack he is working on and wanted us to make liners for them. My first thought was it is very low and doesn't offer any passenger back support but Kurt explained to me during a phone call that there will be several different lid options that would address that. What do you guys think about it?

How do you access the saddle bags? If it's from the top that's a long reach.

In all honesty, I think it looks dumb. It does nothing to accent the shape of the bike and globs up the back end.

Looks like a soap dish if you ask me.

I like they are thinking outside the box. For me it looks like it fails on looks and on function. Also can't believe they didn't get rid of the side latches and do some re-working of the fiberglass there. Almost like this is more photoshop than real. Or does the lower part of the TP raise as well to access regular side bags?

I like it, but how do you get into the saddle bags? Or do you take the lids off and it is a big trunk including the saddle bags?
Looks like the saddle bag latches hold it on the bags maybe??

I dont like it either. It doesn't flow with the bike.

Not a bad integration - that's a closer shave than the regular razorpak.

Access is from the lid which gets you into the bags also.
