luggage racks for hard luggage and pilllion space

any boffs out there recommend luggage racks that dont require full mod of fairing and will take decent hard luggage and also allow pillion access (without stepladers) me and other half are both vertically challenged but want to do europe next year - throwovers not an option any makes recommended thanks

Hire a VFR or Blackbird for the week!!

The pillion seat on the Storm is a right pain in the butt (literally) so unless they're reasonably padded you could be asking for trouble

Not so sure about hard luggage, (someone was selling a rack not so long ago on here, try a search)

But me & the wife did Assen last year, (off again this year), 1000 miles in a weekend, no probs, rear seat isnt so bad (- according to the wife)

We've only got soft luggage, but i've got exandable soft panniers, plenty of room, we also use a large tailpack (on a renntec sports rack), and a baglux tank bag.

I only occasionally get to sit on the back! im usually piloting! mind you i find my elbow and legs only last 100 miles - and guess what - so does the blumin tank!
and without giving to much away - my butt is padded already!! ahem!! us girlies are custom built with padding!

I had the offer of a rentec sports rack but the other half - hubby- is used to packing for several people and were hoping to wander round europe for a couple of weeks. one up i do use my oxfords but they do stop your legs getting to the pegs.
