dave, when I get some time, I wanna check out those bags of yours, see the size difference from mine.

hey, if you are getting a backrest, if you have a luggage rack attached, I ordered a new trunk, you can have my old one for the trip if you want, then keep it or toss it

Ya, even with my previous experience with Mutazu, I considered them, but I figured for $300 more, I'd go with Tsukayu.

I just ordered my backrest today from Jake. I did not get the luggage rack.
I did buy a t-bag. I think I'm going to be set now.

None yet. But when I swing my right leg when I hop off I keep kicking it.
Got some small scratches to buff out now...

Try doing your mount/dismount from the right (wrong) side.
Between the lean angle of the bike, the driver's backrest, and the position of my bars, I have a very hard time getting on and off from the left side without looking like a moron.
