Playing around with luggage options for an up coming camping trip. I currently don't own any hard side panniers but have a 52l givi top box, a set of Oxford throw over panniers that I bought years ago and never used, and a new 60 litre lomo roll top bag.. No sure what to use yet but considering I don't take a pillion I thought it might be a good idea to position the top box on the pillion seat so I can really load it up nice and heavy if needed, and to improve the centre of gravity.. Like the idea of having some lockable storage.
Not finished yet but I've made this plate that allows me to move the box forward and to also use the throw over panniers that don't normally fit due to the stupid pillion grab handles, I can also fit a tent etc behind the top box.. Also should work well without the top box to use with a large roll top bag, either positioned longitudinally or laterally.
I'll get it powder coated either red or black.
Good idea or not?
