The reason why I purchased a NC is strictly for commuting purposes and also I am about to enter a grad program which will require the bike to be parked outside in the campus parking lot on occasion (unfortunately, the campus is located in a unsavory part of east Los Angeles).
I am in the search of saddlebags to store low-risk items such as bike-lock, flat/small compressor, bike cover, and a place to store my jacket so I don't have to take it to class with me. Saddlebags don't have to be lockable, but would be nice. All high-risk items will be with me in my daily backpack.
I need something as narrow as possible because I lane-split all everyday. If anyone is from southern CA, understands just how compressed and congested freeways like the 405 can get, so size matters.
So far, I like some of the stuff Givi has. I do like the looks of the OEM bags but look a little wide. The max width I would be looking for is no wider than the stock bars, but anything narrower would be a plus.
