I've got a 37litre top box on a renntec rock, so far so good but there's nothing heavy in it just shorts and trainers for when we stop and the odd bag of shopping. I've got soft panniers for heavier stuff as they sit lower and closer to the middle. Tank bag for valuables/map. That seems a popular set up for a reason.
I think its been said here that if two of you are needing more than (37+ 20x2 +20) is 100l then you are taking too much.
I did Germany for a week solo with another guy with soft tail pack, 1/2 tent and a bum bag. I still brought stuff home unused.
Tbh though I've seen guys with nakered 250 's and the like with normal head sports bags bungeed to the back seat and it works for them.
