[QUOTE="chucksklrst, post: 1186826, member: 87472"] Every void will get filled, Keep in mind, "less is more". The FJR bags are about the same size as the ST1300 that I came off of, but better shaped for packing. Best way to pack the FJR bags is to take them off the bike and lay them on there back when inserting you items. You will be able to get more in. Agree with the top box as I use it for items that I will be retrieving during the course of the day. jacket liners, gloves, rain gear, etc. Tank bag is for smaller items such as camera, sun block, thinner riding gloves, ball cap etc, Also there are laundromats along on the trip to use if needed. Also a duffle bag on the back seat will hold a lot of stuff if you are riding solo. Still after 30 years of riding each and every trip requires a different packing scheme. I use to carry extra tools which took up a lot of space (never needed them with the Honda(. Now just a credit card and a phone. But I am retired and getting older, so I have time for a layover if needed. I would rather not work on my bike while traveling. I only have 1100 miles on my new 2014 FJR and 950of those miles was the trip back to Colorado from the Dealer in Texas. All my Stuff that I had on the ST1300 that I rode down fit in the bags of the new FJR for the ride home. [/QUOTE]
