And not just for the cool features like cruise control and the built in nav system, etc. but for the ample locked storage capability. Even if not going on a multi day ride, I have stuff that I like to always keep with me, including a rain suit, a tire repair kit, a first aid kit, extra pair of gloves, a baseball cap (for when off the bike) and other little things. But I am thinking about getting a CB1100 both as a second bike now, and when the 900 pound GW just gets too much for this old guy to handle, as my then primary ride. And it made me think, what to do for storage?
Personally, I don't want to have a backpack with me every time I ride. Most of my riding is in the summer, and its just too hot to have a backpack sitting on my back. I guess I could buy some nylon or other soft throw-over the seat type bags, but wondered what the rest of you do for just regular, everyday storage needs.
I bought the Honda OEM chrome rack. Expensive, but high quality and super strong. I then zip tied a $5.00 Walmart backpack to it. This worked fine until l could fing a top box that l liked. After searching around for a while, l bought a $25.00 plactic Dewalt tool box and bolted it to the rack. Works great, and doubles as a backrest for my wife with a pad glued to the front.
But... why?
Why would anyone glue a pad to the front of anyone's wife?

Ah ya - lol. The clarity (or abuse) of the English language.
