Thanks, thought they looked decent but not really sure quite what I'm looking for.

It depends what you want. These are detatchable so you don't have to leave your valubles on the bike which is exsactly what you need.
Secondly you need to decide how often and where you need to use them and obviously how long you intend to stop away. If you are going away for a few days would a ruck sack do the trick? At a lot less cash

I've always had 'proper' luggage on my previous bikes. Givi panniers on my VFR, OE on my K1200S and Sprint ST. I prefer to fit it and forget about it rather than having to strap bags on and then worry about them. Trips could be anything from one night away to a fortnight, but even for an overnighter I might end up carrying my other half's straighteners, burkha and kitchen sink. Her GSXR's* even worse at carrying luggage than Falcos.

*Chav's bike, but then she does have questionable taste.

I've gone for the Wolfman tailpack. 130 quid seems like a good deal considering the alternatives.

Wonder where you got the wolfman idea - I rate mine very highly

And I though that was your arse cheeks I was looking at when I was following you.

Nod

Most of colours are used to following faster black falco's... Arse cheeks indeed!

There, corrected that for you ...... or does that just apply to your one

A Givi wingrack can be fitted to the Falco using the universal fitting kit and a couple of very long bolts and spacers through the pillion handle mounts

or, for a hideous amount of money, I could be persuaded too sell on my GENUINE Givi Falco luggage rack.....

Managed to get some off ebay, they're copies so I'm a bit trepidatious about them but hopefully they'll fit the bill.
