·I have a few things coming in so I'll just start one thread and add em as I go. First up the Tailbag:

Personally I think droning and lugging are worse than exceeding the 5K RPM limit. I passed 5k after maybe 20 miles on mine.Now if I can keep from blipping the throttle and bouncing over 5k for another 100 miles. It's been tough, I've been riding the bike somewhat hard after 80ish miles but as long as I don't go over 5k too often I think I'm okyeah right...
I already have that one!Mr Magoo, i have just the thing for you.......

Because he aint marriedHey Scotty, why is Santa so jolly?
I'd really like to see the saddlebags mounted in person...they look okay in the photos...I'm concerned the tail bag may make it a little clumsy when I get on and off the bike, any issues with that? And I'm a little uncommitted on the tank bag, just because I like the lines of the tank....
I'm in a quandry. I often ride to work and need some storage space to carry work items......paperwork, digital camera, some misc. items...I was really hoping the saddlebags would be the solution, even if I only mounted the left side bag....
Oh well, I guess its one of those things that will work itself out....eventually......
I dig those!The only issue I see with the tail bag would be getting on and off the bike as some people that are shorter than, lets say 5'10, might have a tough time swinging their leg over. But you can do the leg straight in front technique as this works too.
Of course you could always have these on if you're shorter. That with the gerbil bag would look pretty tough I would say.

I guess I'm I'm in trouble now...
I passed 50 a few years ago, and I'm only 5' 8" on a good day... Probably more like a bit over 5' 7" - with a 28" or 29" inseam.
Oh, and I've had both hips replaced with titanium/ceramic models and have a really bad left knee and ankle thanks to 22 years of MX racing...
And I don't have any trouble at all getting on the XR1200 when I have the tail bag mounted on the back. Not a bit.
But then again, I have a Ducati Hypermotard, a KLR, and a Versys and don't have any trouble getting on them, either... Even when they have the various tail packs I have for them installed.
Oh, well...
