Transportation solution for DR 650 R SP44

Hey guys. I'm looking to put some bags/cases on my '92 Suzuki DR650 R. I was gonna go for a simple saddle bag but there is almost no gap between the bags and the exhaust and I'm afraid the heat could cause problems. Do I really have to invest into a sturdy metal frame case holder or is there a more simplistic solution you can think of? Cheers!

You could wrap the exhaust with exhaust wrap where the saddle bags touch

Motorcycle exhaust heat shield.

Yeah, not a fan of metal frames on bikes. Wrap that exhaust then check out some Kriega gear, they’re made for overlanding and will probably have solved your challenge many times over.
