Re: vfr 400 luggage touring
I Have a GYPO luggage RACK!
i have a spare seat base the plastic bit with the clicks, and a Fridge Shelf, i bolted the fridge shelf to the seat base, and then when ever i go somewhere i take my seat in a back pack so when i arrive i dont have my bike looking SHIT.
also have some CBR m6 bobbins and the NC30 Hanging hooks.
tank bag, and carry a backpack, i went away to the dragon rally earlier this year with no problems

Re: vfr 400 luggage touring
While I haven't got a VFR yet, I took one for a test ride at the weekend and had my Kreiga US10 with me which I put on the back of the VFR I tried and it fit no worries. The US10 is only small to be fair, but I could see the US20/30 fitting on it no problems. They're really good tail packs too.

Re: vfr 400 luggage touring
Fridge shelf? That sounds interesting. Good idea having a spare seat base though.
I find the ventura is perfect as the rack is out of the way and I keep it on the bike all the time. You can change the MASSIVE rack for a small one so it just looks like a grab rail. I can pop some pics up if they help :-).
Ahh, dragon rally. Went there some years ago now and I just remember it was a freezing ride up there (from central beds) and just rained the whole time. But was a good laugh, and even in the pouring rain some of the roads and the scenery up there are just mega! No less enjoyment from the weather!

I totally agree mate, hence the fact I ride a 'sports' bike with a massive satchel on the back haha.
