The full kit ! Including a small tent, summer sleeping bag and mattress thing. Plus the usual gubbins. All that weight helped to square off the tyre nicely It was fine over the alps and still a cruise missile on the autoroutes.
No wonder those rear subframes have to be strong, It's not necessarily the weight, but also the balance point of load. Great way to travel though!
Helibars make a HUGE difference! The Honda comfort seat is not quite as good as one I had recovered and gel put in, for my old blade, but still a big improvement.
Mate - Does that set up not make the bike unsteady ? And do you mind me asking where you got the bag from - I'm looking to get something similar.
