    Arf :)
    Subframe would involve plunge cuts into the r&g tail unit.I have the tool but not the spare time to f it up and fix the resultant mess ;)

    I will find the time to finally install a rad guard before August though.

    Although I highly rate Kriega, I am used to a massive tank bag on metal tanks when touring. I like to be able to quickly take everything with me. I used to just leave my waterproofs and US-10 packed chain on the bike with a cargo net over the top to discourage opportunists at the service stations.
    Faffing about at each stop would be annoying and I NEVER leave my stuff on the bike.

    Might have to ask my mate if he'll let us lock bikes together with his chain (has a top box). Would let me just take disc lock and the Kriega tail packs would be light to lug about at stops.

    Alblade and/or Ukdutypaid will whine incessantly about how only Ventura will carry a laptop, 16 man canvas scout tent, travel ping-pong table and full set of golf clubs.



    Just ignore them. Trust me on this. It gets unruly.

    Good idea James Wednesdays could a problem a bit of a problem for me, Thursdays would be better. I will start a thread and see who is interested.

    You may find it harder to park wednesdays without p*ssing off the pubs as it's very busy in summer and LondonBikers forum meet that evening too
