Just wondered if someone could shed some light on luggage and 12v adaptor fittings. I really like the bike and now we're back from holiday I fancy doing a few ride outs - the added bonus of working from home comes in handy 
I've only managed to clock up 1200 local'ish miles since September having returned back and fancy clocking up a few more than that 8)
Thinking of getting a box and maybe some panniers with the box preferably having a back rest on it - so the wife can come out to play as well - hopefully she'll get over here fear of falling off the back. Looking at some makes is a bit of a mine field and with some people preferring certain makes, fitting kits, etc. I pretty much want to be able to store 2 lids and a few other bits and pieces in it but also looking at something that is fairly easy to remove if and when. does anyone have experience of a certain make that holds up that won't break the bank?
Also, I've got what looks like some kind of charging point that is connected directly to the battery - not 100% sure as I've not looked directly at the battery and just assuming it is, as it has optimiser/optimate (?) written on it. Just thinking it would be handy to have a hook up point for maybe my phone/ twat nav, etc and wondered what my options are?
I did think about fitting a 12v cigarette lighter in the fairing but not to keen on drilling out the fairing.....
