Hello! I'm trying to decide which bags to get for my VFR. I like the Honda bags but they're kinda expensive and wide. I'm also trying to determine w/c tank bag to get and there seems to be a ton of choices!
If its not too much of a hassle and if you have one, can you pls post a pic of your bike w/ your bike luggage on it.
I think the other members of the forum would like it too. THanks!!
You can find most of what your looking for in the luggage area of this site.
I haven't needed to buy panniers for myself just yet, that may be next year as I'll probably be taking my son to Normandy in France with me and I'll need the extra capacity. So I've got by with just a topbox (Kappa) and tankbag (Hein Gericke) for now. I think I'll probably go down the Givi route when it comes to fitting bags due to the amout of money Honda will be asking for their own system. Not as pretty as the Honda OE ones, but as I only fit these sort of things for tours, looks aren't really an issue. Mind you, I have seen second hand (Honda) ones advertised a few times so I'll keep an eye out for those as well.
Here's a so-so picture of my bike with the Ventura luggage setup installed. The top pic is with the small sport rack installed, and the bottom with the tour rack and both bags on.
I've since ditched the crappy no-name tankbag and gotten a
Joe Rocket "Multi" tankbag. It's a 3-piece modular bag. I love it to death!
