Hi, anyone advise please ? GS1200 08. I have a BMW Vario Topbox. I don't want the panniers or tank bag, but need additional space for one up touring.
Ideally a soft bag mounted on the rear seat or rear seat carrier. I know there are plenty of options but can anyone share their knowledge of what might be the best purchase = thanks

Pacsafe Tailsafe

Bungees down onto the back seat and is made with an interwoven metal cage, making it theft proofish. They go for around 70-100 quid on ebay. Will take a fair bit of kit as well.

For touring I find a tank bag invaluable, keeps all the bits you want right in front of you along with your map and directions, plus easy off the bike when you stop, keeping your wallet, passport, camera, phone, tickets etc all safe. Don't leave home without one

Tail bags - there's loads out there. You're best off deciding how much you'll use it for and how long a trip you're planning. The first answer will give you an idea of quality you're after, and the second answer the size you're looking for. Don't go too big if you're not going to fill it, it'll just flap and move about. Better getting the right size to suit your needs.
