Everyone has their way of hauling the gear on the long trips. Lets see what you haul.

I'll start.

V-strom loaded on the trip to the Dragon

KLR with saddle bags. Easy to strap the tent and sleeping bag across the back over the top.

Here's my bike on a trip through OH/PA/MD/WV/VA.

Rode two-up for a total of about 1000 miles.

Nelson Rigg expandable tank bag and a set of NR soft bags. I also have a NR expandable tailbag that can strap to the saddlebags and sit on the passenger seat when I'm ridin solo.

I'm debating whether I want to spend around $1200 on a full set of Givi hard luggage, plus however much to get heated grips, lower passenger pegs, and a -1 front sprocket/speedohealer.

The other option is a brand new FJR1300 =)

Nice rig:)

Not sure what Givi cases you are looking at but you should be able to equip your bike pretty well for ~ $800. I have gone through a lot of different luggage setups in the past 10 years. I'm also pretty hard on stuff as you can see from my post above. That said, I highly recommend Givi luggage. The racks are some of the toughest available.

My FJR was my first Yamaha and she's a keeper:)

Ivana Trump doesn't carry that much for an overnight trip.:eek: Did the crane lower you onto the seat?

Use a periscope to see over that tank bag? :)

I used to have a TLS. At one point, I owned 3 (ebay horror story for another time). I loved that motor, hated the rear suspension.

Your 97 was the birth of one of the best motors to ever be put in a motorcycle IMO.

Here's the Strom in camping mode, hauling enough for a week-long stay, camping gear:

(with room left over to put an AR15 on top of the gear, cause you need that)

This is a how it looks if we do 2-up, credit-card camping:

I don't run a huge pannier setup like a lot of adventure bikes, I much prefer a smaller side case for normal tools/necessities and then strap on the luggage that I need for the trip.
