[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1178831, member: 25896"] iirc, the owners manual does not recommend speeds in excess of 80 mph/130 kph with panniers and/or trunk attached. I've noticed the handling is a bit more 'twitchy' at speed with the panniers, but since I don't have a top box cannot comment from personal experience. As others noted, rider height/weight, rider body position, windshield configuration, and tire pressure all affect handling. The aerodynamics introduced by panniers and trunk would tend to influence things as well. It would be interesting to do some controlled tests, changing the variables... [/QUOTE]
