luggage on an Evo
Hi guys
I know I'm slightly premature but I like to plan in advance. I'm going to the TT again this year but first time with the evo. I'm going for 5 days but not camping so what do people recommend luggage wise and any photos of setup would be great. I have some Oxford panniers that I used on my SV and Daytona as well as a giant roll bag that was a pain to secure. I borrowed an Oxford roll bag last time I went that had a loop for under the seat and rolled at the top which was great but the man I borrowed it from is coming with me so thought I would ask the people in the know before I buy anything. I'm not sure if panniers will work now I've lost the pillion pegs and put an evotech hanger on. As usual thanks in advance |

I've got some Kreiga luggage that I have used on several different bikes . It's always been 100% waterproof and totally stable on all the bikes . I have a US 20 and a US30 . The 20 is over 10 years old and good as new . They fit with straps under the seat and connect to the bag . Takes seconds to fit and remove .You can mount them width ways across the seat on length ways, whichever suits . Here's a couple of pics .

I have used a 49 litre Ortlieb Rack-Pack for 2 week trips and a 30 litre Oxford Aqua T30 for shorter trips. I secured them with ROK Straps. Because I removed the pillion pegs and their hangers I ended up putting some D rings on the underside of the tail tidy to make securing the ROK Straps easier. An Oxford Aqua T30 and a couple of ROK Straps costs about £50-£60. That’s less than half the price of a Kriega US-30.
I also had a SW-Motech/Bags Connection Trip QL tank bag. That clips to a ring fitted around the filler cap. |

Thanks all.
I like the idea of the loops under the tail I might have a play over the weekend. Part of me thinks go get the Kriega but SunEye has me thinking buy the cheaper oxford bag for the odd trip (annual tt trip) I have the large bag for taking all the stuff for camping but now have somewhere cheap enough that involves less luggage |

They look like the sort of thing I was thinking of making rollo. Some webbing from a ratchet strap sewn together on the wife’s machine, hole burnt through and a washer either side and I’ve got the same thing for free! Money saved can go towards the luggage. Although I wonder if the loops could be used to secure my panniers then. Has anyone actually put throw over panniers on an evo themselves?
