Already had Baglux kit on my other bike (GSXR600SRAD) so got a tank cover for the Fazer too, so I can use the same kit on both bikes.
Completely invaluable on long or short trips.
Got a Baglux cover; an Alpha Tank Bag plus a small day-bag with shoulder strap (the only problem with that is it's a bit "hand-baggy" :eek but brilliant for fags, phone, sunglasses, and all that other shit you don't want in your pockets) There's map pockets on top of both, but a quick look on the Bagster site and I can't see the small bag on sale any more?
[/size]The Alpha expands massively and that, plus a pair of Oxford First Time soft-panniers get me to the TT every year, including all the crap you need for 9 days in a place with highly variable weather.
As I've never needed more luggage than that, I ain't bothered looking for a Givi rack and box set-up but there's plenty of those about on eBay. I may get into some longer rides into Europe next year, so the Givi might be a better set-up - my mate has a Z1000SX and I'm really envious of his Kwaka (Givi) panniers. Just click them off and carry like small suitcases into the digs to unpack.Never liked tailpacks as I can't get my leg over the seat.The mate with the SX also has one of those small bags that fit onto the fuel filler via a locking ring - that's bloody handy as it detaches quick, but is only big enough for day trips. There's a couple of types of those on FleaBay too. [size=small]
