  1. Oh I meant with trails and jumping and what not. I would assume as long as its tight against you like you said and not too heavy it should be fine....right?

    it only as heavy as you make it. but i the few time i rode with it on the street. it dont feel like any thing there compared to a reg back pack. nice and tight to the body. i have the r30 and it water proof. the r are backpacks and the us are just bags.

  2. i was reading online and i would go with the ehs

    Okay so I have both in my possession for my Honda 450R now and I figure I would give a little review to help others in case they get in this situation. First I will tell you why I have both. I originally had the EHS lid and loved it but due to its height I had to switch when I did the airbox lifter and the Houser swingarm with LT linkage.

    EHS

    Cost - $110 - $120 with color options A bit on the high side as far as cost.

    Fit - excellent, it is a stock lid with a bracket (well made) and the outerwear cover attatched

    Performance - I felt no difference with the lid off or on. So I am assuming it flows enough not to let my butt dyno feel anything.

    Protection - little to no sludge or debris in the airbox after messy rides.

    Pro Tec

    Cost - $85 - $90

    Fit - Sub par. It does not fit like a stock lid. It is a flat aluminum plate with ouuterwear-type material attatched to it. It utilizes the stock clamps but is not a very good seal.

    Performance - Again no change in performance so I feel the flow must be pretty good.

    Protection - this lid does not seal perfectly but it does offer decent protection from the major splashing and helps with dust. Overall it protects but not as well as the EHS.

    If I had to pick a lid based on the quality it would hands down be the EHS. It does weigh a bit more than the Pro Tec. In my situation the Pro Tec is thinner than a stock lid so with the airbox being lifted it clears it much better. I will add some pics to the mix soon. This way you can see for yourself what they look like.
