Carries my puncture kit, cordless inflater, visor cleaner and wipes, waterproof trousers, spare gloves and neck warmer and plenty of room over.

My opinion is that any luggage ruins the lines of the bike which I'd rather not do.

I picked up some Tourmaster Select soft bags for extra storage on road trips and found they were great for around town errand running as well. Recently I acquired a 42L H&B top box and I'm really happy with it (never had a top box before). Not only will it be great on road trips, but I can bring home a sizable amount of groceries too.

While I agree with Haggard Rider that it does alter the look of the bike, the nice thing about this setup is that all the luggage can be removed in less than 5 min. when not needed.

In the fall I bought another as a tail bag. That allowed me to carry a rain suit and remove clothing as the day warmed up.

Three years later when I traded it in on my CB1100EX, I only used the tail bag as I was now familiar with all my day ride routes. But I routinely kicked the expanded tail bag getting on and off the bike. So I bought the Honda rear rack to hold it.

Later that year one of the members here bought a EMGO travel trunk. It was the first trunk I saw that did not look like a large satellite hovering behind the CB. It was also inexpensive and easy to install. It holds either of my helmets, gloves, ear plugs, maps, and wet micro fibre cloth to clean my visor.

I love that big screen, Flyn. Who makes it?

Hey Bazbro! That's a National Cycle Plexistar 2.

I use a smaller NC screen for hot weather, but the big screen is great for winter riding and summer touring.
