Have you decided to convert the Storm to a Goldwing? Upright bars, luggage, hmmm you'll be wiring in a sound system soon and asking Chric for advice on getting Led's fitted!!!!!!

Fitting is sort of self explanitary really. Indi's get removed and re mounted onto rack arms. Rear plastics need to come off for fitting. You'll also need some spacer washers to even out the pillion footrest/exhaust hanger, as thats the front mounting point. Great gear though, you wont regret buying it. ( you'll get a weave at about 140 iirc ).

Nice one Al, I like the Venture's when they are reversed around so sit above the pillion seat or cowl like on Motorstorms one. Give it the more sporty courier look. I Think it will be a Rennetec for me for the longer trips. Just somewhere to strap a roll pack down. Still waiting on a cheapie to turn up on the bay with fitting kit.

Hard luggage is great. Even when your gear is at your digs you can ride into a town in your leathers, change into shorts and tee shirt and lock everything away safely on the bike and walk around smirking at other bikers sweltering in their leathers!

I just put a U lock through the sleeves of my leather jacket and lock that to my bike. not as good as hard luggage, but works just as well for town trips.

I sometimes use one of those long plastic covered cables and a padlock for the same thing if the boxes are full. They are pretty cheap in Clas Ohlsen too.
