2006 GTR1400 w/o shaft drive? Yes'sir. A special thanks to HellsDarkLord for the family pricing plan on the nelson-riggs pannier/tail bag. Already had the HUGE chase-harper tank bag. This is the icing on the cake! I'll be stuffing them full and headed to Albequrque, NM & Santa Fe this weekend...really looking forward to some nice open highways.

Took the 14 for some bagged 2 up ridding this weekend. Rode about 10 hours between 80-110++. The nelson-riggs paniers were rock solid. Chase-Harper tank bag is a VERY nice addition. Two places where straps contacted the paint, covered the paint with 2" masking tape, worked like a champ. Averaged 41 mpg.
The 14 is a perfect hype touring bike. A corbin with the optional backrest would have been nice, but my only real complaint was the beating my head and neck took at anything above 70 mph. I'll be purchasing the Puig DB or touring screen soon as they are available.
