Now that does look the business, nice one.

What saddle have you used?

Are you planning on throw over luggage or hard boxes bolted on?

Have fun and enjoy the miles.

Not sure about luggage yet. Really want Givi but it is uber expense.

The saddle is a rework OEM saddle. It was raised an inch and gel pads inserted in it. I can sit on it all day long now.

That is looking really tidy. I love those cans

Don't think for one minute that you're ever finished though

Looks tidy. Is your clutch comfy? Looks like it is stuck out a mile!

Dan, the givi boxes come in 2 types, monolock and monokey, can't remember which is cheapest but I got a brand new 46L one with mount plate for £90 and it's brilliant, can get shed loads of stuff in it.

I personally would always choose hard luggage, it's easy and more robust IMO .

Just stick on covers from Banditmania. They are heavy duty gel filled. Look really good and super hard wearing.
