i'm doing a similar thing this easter, i was planning on tank bag soft paniers and possible sleeping bag where a soft tail bag would go.
i plan to have a days ride out with all the clobber on the bike to get feel for the weight etc...

Just remember to distribute the weight evenly in the panniers. 400 will cope with luggage fine, just place the panniers far enough back that they don't rub your legs when riding. |

Err, Tank Bags will do nicely. I know Hein Gerike are doing 40 quid double tiered tankbags from 80 and i might think about getting one - 40 litres in capacity, so that can easily hold a weeks clothing, maps, shoes, camera in it - has a waterproof map pocket and i'm sure with 400's the tanks are flat enough to take them. Oh, make sure you don't catch the panniers on the exhaust. I'd think about putting a fat arse duffle bag onto the back and secure using bungee hooks, cargo nets and the like - they're very big and versatile and less hassle than panniers - At least this is what i would carry if i WERE to go touring - SOON when i get my 600. ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

if not camping you can reduce stuff immensly either take small amount of washing powder or dispose of old t shirts/undies on way
this also leaves room for new stuff

exactly the one i saw when looking and i was going to get it till a friend came good with a borrowable set.
i dont think you'll get anything else cheaper, although that made me think it might not be such a good thing ____________________ Hornet 600, CBR600F, 929 blade, 07 R1, R1200GS, 09 Blade, 750 SRAD, ZZR1200, 954 Blade, KTM 990 Adventure, Ducati 749s |
