Okay, I'm going to break down and get some type of baggage system for my deuce. I've been shopping around and I was thinking about some throw overs from Kuryakyn but after further investigation, I don't think that those will be the best choice, since my bike is so finicky. I am thinking of the luggage rack/back rest type set ups. I am hoping to start doing some longer trips this year, and when I ride to work on some of these really cold mornings, (I'm a whimp) I have to dress heavy in the morning but lighter in the evening. Such as full leathers and anything else I can put on going to work, but I can ride home in t-shirt & jeans.
Here's what I would like, a system that could expand some what to get me through a week long adventure, and a mid size type bag that would be good for taking to work to haul the cold weather gear back home or for weekend/day trips.
I have looked at some of the t-bag systems, I like them but I don't want a set up that will be way over my head going down the highway. I also, of course want to get by as cheap as possible, but not to the point of wasting money on stuff that I won't care for.
I have the luggage rack on the bike, it's measurements are @ 6 1/2" x 9" and the back rest on there is @ 7" wide & @ 9" high. It looks like the t-bags can be adjusted to fit that okay. Sorry, but it's hard for me to tell these things with pictures, I like to try them on or find out from folks who know.
I think my bike looks best with nothing but me on it but that is just not practical so I want something I can throw off and one easily depending on the ride. Local stuff around town, I'm going sleek & sporty, but anything of any distance and chance of weather, I like having an extra sweat shirt, rain suit, and anything else I may need. Thanks for any help.
