Luggage
Hi Guys
I am new to the forum and need a little help with luggage. I have a 2004 R1 (under seat exhaust) and am looking for a tail pack or possibly a tank bag. I don't need anything too big just enough for a 1 or 2-night stay. Can anyone recommend something suitable?
Many thanks in advance

Re: Luggage
Ventura rack/brackets and Kriega bag are hard to beat.
I’ve got the brackets for my Tuono and 1299 and they’re brilliant. Keeps the luggage off the bodywork and it’s so easy to use.

The kriega bags are top quality. Went to the TT last year in torrential rain from Glasgow to Liverpool and when I got to the digs my stuff was bone dry

Re: Luggage

Re: Luggage
+3 Kriega. Small and full works better than going to big and half empty too.
Wish I'd got the US20 for weekend'ers.

they go straight to the subframe Woody but if you're going to bungie something on top too don't do it to the tidy behind the exhausts.
Right Dan.

Re: Luggage
Kriega kit on the 1299 with the Ventura brackets and rack which is much better and easier.

Re: Luggage
I had a Ventura rack on a Suzuki triple in 1978! It was great, I used my tramping backpack and tied the frame to the rack.
You do know Ventura was originally from NZ?

Re: Luggage
I always buy a spare pillion seat and bolt a top box plate to it. Solo cowl or normal seat gets packed in the box for when you’re there, I can do about a week away with it, totally waterproof, doesn’t come loose and flap about.. great for track days too, throw the tools and warmers and a pair of shorts.
Only thing is, with the newer bikes the pillion seats have got smaller and flimsier so on the 15+ bikes I’ve added a couple of bolts through the plate into the subframe. Just takes an extra couple of minutes to remove.
I’ve got a few Kreiga bits too which I use on the trail bikes, they’re bloody good bits of kit and they do a clever securing system for them.

Re: Luggage
I'm going to have to have the blue upper tail cover off you. Looks so much better. Too much grey on mine.
Is that with the helibars on? Do they move the position forward too or just flatten them up? Can't tell from below pic.
Oh right. Just found the spec.
2" (50mm) Taller**
1" (25mm) Rearward**
1 1/4" (32mm) Wider** at 26 1/4" total width
Interesting. Certainly fancy a try.

Never understood why standard r1 bars are so uncomfortable and race clippons are very comfortable.Horus-222_R1 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 9:34 pmI'm going to have to have the blue upper tail cover off you. Looks so much better. Too much grey on mine.

Always fit them but they can have clearance issues that can take a bit of creative thinking to sort. This time it’s pushed my rds master in to the back of the headlight on full lock. Once fitted G you’ll wonder how you managed before.
