Hey. Does anybody use a tailbag on their XSR? I've got a little trip planned later in the year and need something to carry some things. I've thought about panniers too but don't really know the route to go.
I'd like something that doesn't leave too much on the bike, I like the look of the Kriega stuff.

SW MOTEC blaze do an awesome set of pannier bags that just leave a very small mounting clip on the back of the passenger pillion foot pegs.

All you do is slide in a support bar into the small clip on the pillion peg and then slide the bag over the bar.
Pricy but worth it for ease of use plus they expand in size by undoing a zip.

Thanks

Thanks that could be perfect. It's definitely an option. I see they're on a MT07, are they good for our bikes too?

Well i have emailed them to confirm but ive had no reply......

IMHO, those look totally out of character on the xsr. Ok for the mt07, but not for a "heritage" type bike. These, also from sw motech, look much better. Total volume, 27L. If not enough, they also make a passenger seat bag that will hold over 40L. Look at their site. Some vendors on eBay will give you a discount. http://shop.sw-motech.com/cgi-bin/c...showrub--brands.yamaha.xsr700&typid=244997595

They do look great and their gear has a good reputation. However, nearly £500 is a bit above budget at the moment!!

I'm looking at the Shad SH36. They are good for the mt07, but I have to check with them. The good thing is that the helmet fits. But as I installed the tail tidy I don't know if they will fit. Has anyone tried those?
