[QUOTE="FJR Bill, post: 906166, member: 20779"] The subject has been covered pretty well. I bought my FJR for camping and have done several overnighters and week long trips. I carry alot because I like to be comfortable while riding and able to change for hot to cold weather and dry to wet. I got it down to a science. Once I get a sucessful packing arrangement I use it every time and can pack the bike quickly. Don't put anything you might need while on the road in the left sidebag. Why? Because the right side bag is so much easier to access when on sidestand. I too use a waterproof bag on the rear seat to carry my sleeping bag. Makes for a nice back rest too. I have a Givi 45 liter trunk that is loaded with lightweight stuff and things I might need while on the road. Then the good old tank bag is full of little items that are essential such as a water bottle, medications, gun etc. The tank bag is great for resting your arms on and I used it to set my elbow on and use my hand to support my head and helmet giving my neck a rest. I carry a coleman camp stove and one pot for cooking. For beer I have a fold up cooler that holds a 12 pack...usually gets me thru the night...LOL :rolleyes: Bill [/QUOTE]
