I ordered the mounting strap kit with my nelson rigg cl 1020 tank bag. The bag is solid and stylish, however the straps are worthless.
The buckle is cheaply made and very stiff...and waiting to fall apart.
NR is a solid brand and makes solid products; the bag is an example. Not sure what went wrong with these straps. Perhaps they contracted out the straps to a cheaper vendor

So, the bag arrived and with great excitement I opened it. The bag looked and felt sturdy, and good. The bag is well thought out inside and out. So, I thought a purchase well made. But then came the attachment part...I opened the bag that contained the strap mounting kit, which I purchased separately in addition to the bag. The strap and the plastic buckles are so cheaply made that my observation followed by intuition told me that this is not going to last.
Then I took the bag and the strap downstairs to try them on my bike (triumph bonneville). The bag size is perfect (doesnt cover the gas cap and has that contour to match the shape of the tank). The strap will do but I can tell they will fall apart soon.
So, in a nutshell, NR did a great job with the bag, but looks like their quality check team neglected the straps.
Nolan N43E Trilogy Solid Helmet New design for 2012! New Features New Chinbar is extended for extra room and now can accept included chin curtain New Face shield now has intermediate open position, previous version was either opened or closed New locking pivot kit 6-in-1 design The New Nolan N43E Trilogy Helmet is a crossover design with quick-change accessories that allows for customized looks and functions for every ride. The helmet comes with the clear shield, the integrated sun shield, the peak and the removable chinbar. The Lexan chinbar is EPS lined and mounted with strong stainless-steel latches, so it passes the tests for full-face helmets of the European standard ECE-2205. VPS (Vision Protection System) features a short dark shield mounted on the inside of the helmet which moves independently from the face shield. It provides real eye protection and is also available in amber, light blue and light smoke as an accessory. The VPS is easily operated by a large rubber coated slider on the left side of the helmet. Features Quick-change shield is optically correct, UV-400 and fitted in an exceptionally large eyeport Includes a Pinlock antifog insert The short black peak can be installed in seconds instead of the clear shield Ready for the N-Com communication system Lightweight aerodynamic polycarbonate shell with built-in spoiler for improved stability Fully removable and washable Clima-Comfort liner is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and wicking Super-efficient JSW top vent with exhaust grid in the rear spoiler works in conjunction with the air channels along the crown Microlock (adjustable quick-release) retention system Velour chin-strap padding 3.6lbs with all accessories Both D.O.T. and ECE certified Note Trilogy Solid, Trilogy Outlaw and Trilogy Voyage Helmets are identical except for the paint or graphics.
I got this helmet in preparation for my cross country trip. What I like about it is: 1. I can wear it as 3/4 helmet in warm days 2. Plug the chin bar and I have a full face helmet for colder days. The vision is still great 3. It has a built-in dark screen. So, I dont have to carry two different sunglasses (clear and dark). In fact, if I use it with face shield on, I dont even need to carry any sunglasses -- and I have riding with sunglasses. 4.I can put the visor on and wear aviator sunglasses and look like ponch from CHiP.
