Obviously you`re talking bout the fact that I have short arms, short body and have to stretch to reach the handlebars hence am almost lying on the tank when i ride but I have a sneaky suspicion that you`re referring to my chest size

Getting back on track and away from your ample assets Claire. Have you tried the tailpack yet?

Not as yet Pete.... bought some wonder web stuff on Friday. Will be using the tailpack for the NW3 so that might be its first trial

Claire , Tail pack and forget the chunky top heavy oxford cr*p, Kriega all the way, Specifically designed for spors bikes low center of gravity and waterproof.

US-20 is whati have, maybe used in conjunction with a back pack. But the US-20 is more than capable of carying all you need for a night or two away.

I can never get my paniers to sit right on my GSXR. Also they reduce the clearance when filtering, just something to bear in mind.

I'd go with a small tankbag for your vauables and then a tailpack. Dont forget if you get Oxford stuff its not waterproof so put everything that you want to stay dry in a bin bag or something similar.

You wont be disapointed my friend. I am going to order at least the US-10 for the AR08, and probably their 20L rucksack as well. from what i can see they are so comfy on bikes, the way the straps are designed with a single locking point like a parachute.

I used Nelson Rigg soft lugagge on my 600 Katana. It is good gear and really inexpensive.
I took the bike from Maine to Los Angeles and the only complaint I had is the rain cover on one side blew off in a storm. Otherwise the bags are well worth the money. I paid about $275 for the set of panniers, tank and seat bag.
