Morning, Planning my TT trip. Last year I had a rucksack on my back and another one bungee corded to the tail of my Daytona 675 ( underseat exhaust). Im looking for a tidier option this year. What luggage do you guys recommend and is anyone selling anything? Also, I've never tried a tankbag but always thought they looked quite intrusive. Bearing in mind the plastic fuel tank cover, what ones do you use and any comments positive or negative? finally, as an add on. any good recommendations for blue tooth systems? in helmet with Iphone for music/calls/sat nav for touring. thanks, O
Hi I've just ordered the Ventura system after a lot of comparing and asking around also bought a tank bag which is attached via a bracket on the fuel cap can't comment about the Ventura yet but the Tank bag is fine and you don't really notice it Boo
The best tank bag for styling and quality is SW Motech Quick-Lock Evo Micro. Made in Germany, clicks into place thanks to a tank ring bolted to the tank filler cap. Here's a link: Tank bag SW-Motech Quick-Lock Evo Micro+ring Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 04-14 | eBay I have the Evo Micro bag mounted on the seat cowl - see my web for pics: http://www.dogsbollocksdesigns.com/products/tail-pack-mount.html As for the touring luggage there are two main systems on the market: the Ventura kit (New Zealand) and Kriega (UK). The Ventura is more practical, the Kriega more elegant. I had both and prefer the Ventura. All of the above is IMO of course
thanks for the help so far, especially the link in the reply above to the weight loss supplements! If anyone is selling anything then let me know. ta
Go for Kreiga US 20 tail pack far better to use than back pack/tank bag. If you need more capacity a US10 on top. Expensive to buy new but lasts for years and very waterproof.
The tank bag I have for mine Is an oxford lifetime product which comes with straps instead of magnets and fastens under the riders seat and the headstock. I'm also going to the TT and using my tank bag, tail pack and a rucksack just for my tent and sleeping kit.
One 2012 Anniversary Blade all ready to rock! (Renntec, Kreiga & Givi Tanklock Bag BTW) About £350 for the lot.
Thanks again what Kriega is that ^^ and could I have more info on the rack too. thank you. Must make wheelieing easier at least! Doesnt the tank bag feel intrusive at all?
