I'm a long distance rider doing trips of a month duration on the road I carry all my camping gear and food. No motels or restaurants. My setup has been 3 givi hard bags with a small soft bag and a tank bag.
I'm a smaller rider without a lot of upper body strength so I try and have the bike packed as lightly as possible with the weight low and forward. I did have a passenger seat mounted plate that had a givi adapter plate attached, it gave me a seat mounted hard bag.
When I was washing my bike day, I was looking at all that space behind the grab rail wondering if I would be able to strap a small dry bag there, perhaps it would conform a bit to the rounded tail section...?...I have strapped a rain suit there once out of nesessity on one trip.
That rack with the small silver plate would be perfect for what I want.
I bought my busa because it makes a cracking sports touring bike with a low Center of gravity. I’m not interested in bling, Chrome, fat tires, extra hp, extended swing arms or fancy paint jobs. It took me a while to find one that was as close to stock as possible.
