    Hello Everyone,
    One of my bikes is a 1986 vfr750f and when I ride and stay over night I never have any storeage on the bike so i want to see what are my oppions.
    I like the sport look and dont want to look like a goldwing if you know what i mean, i want to keep a classie look, i thought about over the seat cowl making some type of a rack thats probley not a bad idea so what do you all think ?

    I have the TOURMASTER Cortech Sport Tail Bag and and Sport Saddle Bags and love them. Expanded I can put a weeks worth of clothes in. Non-expanded they fit close to the bike and you still have 3 or 4 days worth of clothes. I used them this year to go down to Moto GP and bought enough stuff (new jacket, etc.) that I had them all expanded out on the way back. Less then $200 for the set.

    And they hook together as one unit. Sorry about the picture. That is my camel-back on top of the tail bag. They are in their smallest configuration:

    Well, what kinda of luggage/storage do you have at the present? Tankbag, tailpack, or what? Tankbags and tailpacks are great. Many can hold quite a bit, and are expandable. I have two sizes of tankbags (in the larger Fox, it is expandable and will fit quite a lot in it) and black Givi saddlebags. For day to day (work and whatnot) I usually always have my Alpinestars backpack on.

    How much storage are you looking for (like a week long trip, or just a couple of days)?
