[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 842552, member: 3828"] Lucas, It is absolutely possible to mount just about any kind of side and top bags you can imagine. Anything you can strap onto a V-strom can also be put on an FJR. There have been some folks that have put Givi side bags on an FJR for some reason or other. Givi sells a mounting rack kit to do that. Once you put a Givi rack on, just about any panniers made can be adapted to that rack. On my 'strom I have a set of SW Motech side racks (quick disconnect versions of a Givi rack) and alternately use 36 liter Givi E36's or Seahorse utility cases on the rack, using the Happy Trails mounting puck system. Just about any monstrously huge size side bags can be mounted with the Happy Trails pucks. Personally, I would love to see an FJR set-up as an adventure touring bike. Why the hell not? :unsure: But I would encourage you as a first (intermediate) step to replace that POS Yamaha trunk with a big ole' Givi trunk. The mounting would be required when you went whole hog adventure anyway, and you'll be pleasantly surprised how much that expands your hauling capability. The side bags aren't all that bad, especially if you use the liners, but you are right it's tough to pack them without the liners due to the side opening. But they are pretty good sized. In fact. they stick out a lot if you look closely. Anyway, have fun. Be different. Post pics. [/QUOTE]
