Just joined the Stromtroopers and are looking for recommendations for our 2012 650. Will need room for Ann so would like recommendations on top boxes, panniers etc.

JimandAnn,

There is a variety of brands and products, depending on what sort of riding you will be doing etc. Soft panniers or hard also depends on what you want to spend as well.

One thing I like to do before I purchase anything is besides asking the question like you have done on here, is to go for a couple of rides with other strom riders and take a look at their set ups. I recently held a christmas party here at my place and with about 20 stroms they all had different set ups for their particular style of travel etc. that way you can view the setups first hand and ask any questions there and then.

Cheers

Welcome,
There is a Brit on another thread with some very nice looking Givi Trekker top and side cases. I was just looking at the Givi website to find some pricing.

What I have

G'day.

I have Andys panniers on my SUZI. They hold a lot more than I thought they would, and being soft, they won't damage IF she falls over.:biggrinjester: Stuff on top goes into a duffle bag - probably no good for you as you'll have a passenger.:thumbup:

Haven't looked at a top box yet. I'm only one-up.

I'm in Werribee (Melbourne).

This setup is not the same at all for the 2012. You will not like it unless Roger got religion and uses something other than Hepco Becker racks. I literally threw the HB racks in the trash and bought Jesse racks and boxes before I was happy.

Search here, I've already told the whole story. The caribou setup for the older model was superb, the new one wiggles like jello.

There is a Google search box just above the posts under the Calendar link. Any query you type there will search this forum and this forum only.
If you type in the word luggage you will get 9370 hits.
This subject has been covered ad nauseum and all this thread will do is go over ground that has been discussed endlessly and the same people will offer the same opinions.
What you need to do is look at the previous general threads then if you have specific questions that you cannot find answers to ask them
