A trailer is your friend, leaves the bike empty for your helmets.
Just a thought
Just so I stay on topic...Has anyone seen an after market bag for or on an FJR that is larger than OEM. Std bags are a pain IMHO.I've been on the forum a few years now, I've never seen anyone with luggage racks on the side cases. But, I don't see every thread either. On first instinct, I'd probably recommend against it. The mounting tabs for the side cases are only ABS plastic. I've seen some pretty heavily loaded side cases, I couldn't imagine adding additional weight on top of that.
Is a top case out of the picture?
I have the rack on the v46, I've had a small tent and therma-rest on there without problem, mind you there were no high speed runs on that trip.Already have a Givi 46 top case.
Planning a Nova Scotia in July and the wife may join me. As such the rear seat is no longer available for carrying the tent, sleeping bags and the like.
I have seen an FJR with a home made rack mounted on the saddle bags. He and his wife travel nationally on it and haven't had any problems...that I know of. Just wondering if anyone has capitalized on the idea yet. Sounds like a job for the Sportmiester.
I am adding a rack to my trunk. But I am adding some footman's loops to the side bags for strapping. See here "Footman's Loop".Did the Google search and found this. however, I've seen and read that some of you have created an actual luggage rack that mounts on top of the saddle bags. Anybody willing and able to post up pics and instructions or links to how it was created?
Thanks
