[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 33062, member: 2708"] I've put about a thousand miles on it now. A couple of small problems have shown up, one with the rear brake sticking, the other with the hi tech speedo. The sending unit supplied by Dakota Digital quit after a few miles, as did the replacement. The second replacement was tested by Dakota Digital for several hours before being shipped, it has worked fine. Dakota Digital is a great Company to deal with. The bike is a real joy to ride, so it's time to use it for some serious travelling. During the build stages I didnt give a single thought toward using the bike in this way, so there was really no provision for luggage or mounting. On top of that the wonderful Craven top box and panniers from my Rapide would look bizarre on there, even if they could be attached somehow. These saddlebags from Cortech fit rather nicely. There is also a tailbag that goes where a top box would. It clips to the saddlebags. Not sure if it will be needed for solo touring. The saddlebags are expandable so they hold quite a lot. There are outside map pockets, and some luminescent detailing. I will need to fabricate a snap-on bracket to keep the bags in place at rear. With this frame design there is nothing back there for attachment.
