Which do you like?
For me, I couldn't afford side panniers and bought water proof bags.
I will tie them on the seat and top box.
If I try to go for side panniers I must move indicators backward Shocked
I don't do camp and stay at hotels. That may be why I don't need so much capacity.

I prefer soft luggage. I still have to move the indicators though if i take a pilion. I got a bracket made up with mini indicators.

Before

After

Two bolts later and the standard one are off. You can just see the mini ones poking up the rear.

Instead of moving mine back I moved them down, I cut new holes for them in the mudguard. Thumbs Up

It's interesting! I didn't know that.

p.s. TDM indicators are like this in normal(for whom don't know).

Very interesting indicators! I didn't know these ones. Thanks. I may go for these if I buy side panniers. This looks effortless to attach.
