I am enjoying riding the MT so much I have decided to use it (instead of my FZ1 Fazer) for my yearly 4 day tour round Wales in a couple of weeks, Luggage was the obvious issue, with the Ventura option being limited to 5 kilo. Anyway I bit the bullet and got the Yamaha saddlebags (panniers) and using the Givi tank bag from the FZ1, Fitted an MRA adjustable screen, and whist it does not looks the best does a great job of keep the wind noise down. Oh and I finally found out why the instruments are of the one side (it is so they don't get blocked by the sat-nav) Anyway this it how it looks right now.

Got any pictures of just the pannier stays fitted. Always wondered what they look like.

Have you mounted your TomTom with one of these ?

Have anyone found a pic of how the original GPS mount is supposed to be fitted?

I'm using mine for touring too bud
Fitted a set of lockable kreiga panniers and a yam tank bag

Off for a four day tour of Northern Ireland after the NW 200 weeks over
Can't wait it's badly needed after being out of action for few weeks!

look at you all turning your bikes into goldwings lol.
Not at all mate.
They come off when I feel like a hoon that's the joy if soft luggage.

This bike does it all. Unfortunately I can't afford a Beemer to travel with and keep the Yam so best of both worlds
And just coz there's bags on there it still goes like like fcuk when I feel like it...
