Luggage
Chaps
I would like to take my old zx12r on longer journeys. I have a large top box fitted but no other luggage.
I cannot find any to buy (in the UK).
Anyone know of any new or second hand anywhere?
Thanks
AndyF.

You looking for hard or soft? Soft is easy enough to find anywhere. But pita in many ways. Hard is nice but generally pretty damn expensive. Corbin makes a set that's supposed to compliment the bike styling, but even more $ and they always looked smallish and a pita to use since they don't open like a suitcase. Course hard also means a rack to attach them too, which makes for a funny look day to day, or the work of mounting the rack every time you wanna go on a trip.
That said, having done plenty of travelling, i'd go hard if i had the cash available.

Here was my solution when doing Europe tours two-up:

The soft baggages aren't the best on use but I don't like adding hard bags to ZX - it just doesn't seem right. I also thin the only one still avaiwable (without custom frame for hard bags) is Corbin, but they're quite expensive and small. But if you have a frien with mig doing own frame for bags isn't that big deal.
