Luggage for SV (Tankbags/Tail Packs)? - Page 2 - SV650.org

13-06-05, 05:25 PM

Just got my Oxford Humpback tank bag. No miles on it yet but it looks like a well made piece of equipment. I like the rounded contour, it follows the SV's tank shape nicely.
My only regret is that I didn't get the panniers too at the same time...
Got it from slickbikes.com at what seems to be a decent price.

2- one of the panniers has ripped and now has a hole in, i dont know anyone else who has anything bad to say about em - so could just be me.

i could swear they're mounted backwards in that picture.

Yep, happens all the time!

Wouldn't reconmend a tank bag. I did Newquay to Cardiff with one averaging 80-90 mph could hardly move my neck the next day! Could be cause I've got a standard screen, but as you say you have an Airflow screen so that should make a difference. Would be interested to know if it does...

Even these guys have them (somewhere under that lot!)

I use oxford lifetime panniers and a Baglux tank bag.
Anything else like a tent and sleeping bag go in a seal bag from hein gericke.

The Baglux bags are great... I use an Oxford lifetime tailpack, it's MASSIVE! And Oxford Sports (I think) panniers when I need to but they're fiddly with the high level can. Not their fault.

I'd recommend you look at getting a Renntec Sportsrack, there's one on Ebay just now. you can't carry much weight on them but they make it so much easier to attach luggage or bulky items and give you a load of extra space. I've also got a cut down pillion seat which makes things easier, the tailpack prefers a big flat surface.

With the rack it's amazing what you can carry- a pair of SV wheels? No problem

With tyres? Okey dokey...

Yup, that me

Oxford sports lifetime panniers and tankbag.

I've had them well over a year now and they've been excellent. Used for my regular commute to Dublin and tested (on a private track) to an indicated 130 mph. No obvious wear to them yet either. Wouldn't recommend putting a tent and rucksack on top though

although to be fair they still held securely

no - the airflow screen didnt make a difference, couldnt go above 80 without having the feeling my head is gonna rip off.

sore neck too.
