Luggage

I became obsessed with luggage, not keen on the Triumph ones so embarked on a quest to find ones I likes and was prepared to pay for. This may be of some assistance for those on the luggage quest.

It appears so that if you like nylon ones there are heaps to choose from, SW Motech Blaze being the best value in my opinion. Closely followed by Kriega Solo's if you have a tad more dosh. If you want more of a hipster look then again SW Motech Legend are great, albeit too small for much as the large bag is not recommended for the ST as its too close to the exhausts, So £400 plus gets you two titchy bags.

Longride are super nice, again add in a pannier frame and your topping £300+ for a single bag, Iron & Resin, too hipster and unpractical light colour.

So I repurposed two bags, one small for everyday bits disk lock, sunglasses, wallet, phone etc and one for my work stuff like MacBook, cables, porn mag etc.

The small black bag is a 10x6 inch Tactical Molle bag so has rows of attachment points, a couple of bicycle saddle straps over the frame and the shock to keep it off the rear wheel. All in £25

The larger brown messenger bag, here I attached a Hepco & Becker C-Bow frame adaptor and a perspex plate to the bag, then the corresponding C-Bow bike specific frame left side, the frame fits Scrambler and Twin, not sure about Cup. The bag locks to the frame. All in £130

I’ve bought a second bag frame and will attach it to a small cabin roller bag for weekend trips, mindful not to go over 5kg.
