    Obviously a magnetic tank bags no use on my 05. Cos the tank tcover is plastic. I dont wanna fit any cissy bar type lumps of metal. So how do I take a passenger aswell as myself with a couple days worth of luggage? Apart from the pillion wearing a rucksack the size of a small country, cos its a SHE. Any way os strapping a tank bag on?

    Viz top tip Matt.


    Or just duct tape the luggage to her. It's water resistant, insulating and like a permanent set of airbags

    Don't try that one on Jo mate. We've already learnt how light she travels. It's not a prisoner taking area with her.

    Why do they need curling tongs and straighteners???

    Got to be a tank bag - Givi do ones that clip on the fuel cap, have one but not used yet, seems great gear!!

    And a Ventura rack and bag - they get loads on and can turn round when you have a pillion... Great gear - looks a bit poo

    Cheers fella. More like it. whatever I get will probably only get used 2 or 3 times, so am reluctant to spend money out of my 'carbon,pipe,rearsets,other bling and track day' money box

    I'll be telling her 'something', jo, but I doubt it'll sound anything like 'you can drive'.;)
