That really is quite the setup! Thanks for the link! I would find it very useful for jungle trekking and shooting in less developed areas where having two cameras right at hand to be a blessing, rather than going into my bag to make a switch. It looks extremely secure, and the camera/lens combos shown in the video are about the same size that I normally carry. I think I may order one and try it out... but not use it on the bike.

I'd worry about the doff & don part... Motorcycle clothing, especially the sort that I wear, with its fully armored shoulders, back, elbows, etc., make moving around a bit difficult, and getting into or out of that harness while wearing such bulky clothes might be a problem. Simpler is better, which is why I favor the Op-tec style for bike use. The single strap is a lot easier to get into. I just need to beef up the Op-tec using 1" tubular climbing webbing, and add Fas-tex buckles so I can put the darn thing on or take it off without looking like I'm doing trying to shed a cocoon!
