Guest Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 just wondering about the different ways of carrying around my stuff on the bike on a minimal budget! using a cargo bag ive seen some say not for weights over 1kg, is this always the case? if i want to use a medium sized bag (eg 20L) will i need to get a pannier rack or is just strapping it to the bike suitable? cheersmatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Click on our sponsor (Top Right) and have a look at Buffalo luggage in the Luggage section. I think (Someone may correct me) you will need a rack which the site does not sell, but the price is not too bad (Cheaper than I thought actually) from other sites.Of course depends on the bike. I can't really use soft luggage panniers due to the exhaust being in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep your pillion roost (and give yourself more room) you could get a rack and put a soft or hard topcase on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
