Luggage

Don't know if anyone has posted this before, but when I want to bungy some gear onto the back of the Exup or the R1, it's not always a good idea to use the plastic bodywork. Some bike makers like Suzuki have designed in some hooks into the pillion pegs, but not on the Yams. So years ago when I was going to the Dutch TT on the Exup I noticed that the pillion footpegs have got a moulding on the underside of the peg, that if you drill through this bit it comes out with a hardly noticeable hole on the top of the peg. This is ideal for the bungy hooks if drilled to the right size.

I'm not sure what size drill it was that I used, but it was big enough for the bungy hook to pass through with plenty of clearance...works a treat.

I'm planning on a road trip with the bike a the end of may to Amsterdam and this will be my first real long distance road trip on a bike and i need to get some luggage like panniers and tail and tank bags. I already have a rentec grab rail thing and wondering if anyone has some kicking around maybe or some recconmendations for decent ones.

Cheers

+1 on the Oxford stuff...a friend gave me this gear as he had to give up biking & it's been put to good use...
