I relocated the rear turn signals so the saddlebags would fit. But they do not fit properly 'cause the rear of the bike tapers in. And as far as I know, you can't get the rack to mount a Givi trunk. I rode it to work today and carry a cooler with my lunch in it. The cooler was mounted on the rear seat with a stretch cargo net thing. It was pressing against my back-didn't like it at all. What kind of saddlebags work with this bike? And can you get a rear luggage rack for it?

Ventura makes a rack for the new gen bikes.

As far as the saddlebags, get used to it; that's sportbike styling for you. You can play around with the mouting straps to try and get them to resist the urge to get sucked into the tire...

Thanks for the advice. But I found something inexpensive to try for now. Will prolly put something under the front of it so it leans back a tad. Don't know how much I'm gonna like it, but it's cheap enough to try it out.

Bill, I re-routed my turn signals so that they are attached to the license plate bracket and put the reflectors where the signals were. No need to cut the wires. They are long enough. That gives you lots of leeway with soft luggage. You will have to drill where the reflectors were for the signals to fit.
