Who's set up for 2-up touring?

[swamplizard]

90% of my riding is with my spouse - we've done European Alps, West coast, Circle Great Lakes, Smokies, New England and around here in FL.

Can you post pictures of your bike set up for touring?

I dont have any decent pics handy (work) but I can tell you where I am headed with mine. Most of my mods thus far have been to make a superior one up SPORT tourer. So most of my mods have centered around my own comfort. Raised bars, Buell pegs, taller ZG Sport Touring shield, heated grips, Throttlemeister, braided lines and a Corbin seat. I am stuck at the moment with a Luggage decision. I want hard bags but I dont want them to be hanging way off the bike looking like absurd add ons. The Corbin bags are sweet looking but ultimately flawed in design as you cannot readily remove them nor do they hold a sufficient volume compared to even the smallest hard bags from Givi, Krauser, Hepco and Becker etc. There is a Suzuki dealer in Post Falls Idaho who makes custom Hayabusa Givi mounts out of a Bandit 1200 mount. These are supposed to be pretty sweet and tight to the bodywork but they are $375 just for the mounts. So I am sitting tight at the moment and just enjoying my bike as is with my trusty old Eclipse tank bag. Good luck!

Givi stuff -- If you can find a Used Bracket---They won't sell new ones for us Busa owners, cause in 99 and 01 Busa's came with aluminum subframes-- some broke off while riding 2 up with full bags of stuff.

Seems like Givi is missing the boat by not offering a mount for this bike! I was looking at the SW mototech mounts and some of the Givi E360 bags. I can't make up my mind though.

Got any pics of yours from the rear?
