Yeah, I do need to take panniers and a pillion and camping stuff strapped down onto the top plate.
I also do some bloodrunning and for that I need to be able to strap down two big boxes. On the FZS one goes on the top plate and the other on the pillion seat so I'd need something similar on the FZ1.
The idea of using the rear light built in to the top box is a great idea, thanks, robbo. But I don't use a top box. I guess I'll have to look at other bikes. Such a shame.
Cheers,
Dave
Does sound like a different bike might be better for your needs.
Having recently spent loads of time looking for a new bike I would suggest taking a look at a Triumph Sprint GT. They are marginally cheaper than the Fz1, look great and come with matching solid panniers. Should be more than good enough for touring and your blood bike work.
Either way I hope you get sorted ??
