Oh yeah I forget, there are bigger bags too but they're not available as edition models; just search for ortlieb - there's all kinds of stuff. They even have pad insert for camera for the ultimate handlebar bags models 2 thru 5. If not listed, I could get that by special order, wiat is usually 1-2 weeks Cheers Ecke
