Here is a pic of my LE with a Joe Rocket tank and tail bag, it may not be the best looking set up, but its works. I had no problem putting 3 days worth of clothes, and a rain gear, extra sweatshirts etc.

Joe Rocket Magnetic Tank Bag. No issues with scratches so far that I can see.
Oxford Sport Tail Bag
Tourmaster Sport Saddlebags.
Seems to work pretty well for my touring so far
The 'busa just hit 33,333 miles when I got home today (I had to ride around to block to trip the last three
)

Damn, great looking setups guys, thanks for posting.
The Ventura rack system seems pretty popular and appears to have a ton of storage room with the tailbag. Does the rack negatively affect the bike's look when the pack is not being used?
Do the Tourmaster sport sadlebags attach in such a way that they don't flap in the breeze back there and/or wear through the paint after awhile?
Carl, you are packed to the hilt, amazing. What do you think of the Givi's? I think they look real nice. Is your tailbag a Givi also and if so, is it attached using the SW Motech mount as well? Any issues with rideability with all that stuff?
Thanks again guys!

Yes its all Givi and that one on the back is the monster E52(it will hold 2 helmet and still have some space), the sides are the Keyless E41's and each can swallow my XL Arai.Damn, great looking setups guys, thanks for posting.

The tankbag is a luggagelocker.
As far as the rear SwMotech Mount its great for 1 up, but with the 52 I had to make a modification to move the bag back a bit for my wifes comfort. As far as durability the sides mounts are incredible, I've put bags with 40-45 lbs of gear in them and they are flawless. The rear is showing some stress marks but nothing bad has happened yet and moving the bag back probably made things exceed load limits. I'm probably going to fab somthing to handle the ridiculous loads I put on the thing. I would say for normal use and a less obscenely large bag it would be flawless as well.

The saddlebags are a four point attach system. Two velcro straps that go over the seat (although I run mine under the seat) a strap to the passenger foot post and a strap to the rear signals. I have them running connected and under the rear light because I'm running under the seat instead of on top.
I didn't have a problem with the paint on my first run but on all the other tours I've put a layer of clear contact shelf paper on the paint. If it's applied correctly, you can barely see the plastic. I'm much happier with that set up.

This is the first strand I've seen with so much discussion of the Ventura system. I absolutely love the system...and its interchangeability, depending on what type of ride you're on. It doesn't touch paint, I don't even know it's back there, and it's good with or without a passenger.
