I can only give you my observations from when I had my Hayabusa. I installed a Ventura Rack with big bag. The good thing is that you can flip the heaviest side of the bag towards the passenger seat. It has a rain cover and with both bags attached it will hold a considerable amount. I did a 5 day trip to Alabama camping kit inside bag along with clothes in other side no problem.

The drawback is that you can't lock it and you have to haul out a rain cover every time it rains or just ride with it on. The racks are well made and worth what they are asking. I bought my set up used as well which provided excellent value.

Hope this helps. Wardie
