I know a few here have high cans fitted to their falcos - but, what do you use for luggage if you go touring?

do throw over panniers get affected by the heat?

(And being specific it is for renegade cans that I am primarily interested in....)

(The amazing news is - I may have a full set of aprilia falco luggage coming up for sale - tank bag, panniers and tail roll!)

And in an amazing duplicate of my post over on the AF1 forum - can I be the first to register my interest in your panniers and tail roll?

Yup - slipping into "get up late, stay up late" mode... It's going to be a bastard getting up for work on Monday...

cheers andy - a few pictures if you would be so kind? or point me to where they are on the web as i am sure you will have posted them already.....

re the luggage - all depends on what fits, or doesnt fit - and I will be honest and say that woodbutcher has first dibs - before the second thread had been posted, on the af1 site, i had a message from him.....

early days yet though - but will keep people posted

Pete - not really got any useful pics of this.
The only things I've got are a front and rear-end shot (ooo errr mrs) of the bike loaded up for the club Aprilia day.
Basically, it shows it is possible.

I don't trust the modded one quite as much as the standard one so put lighter things in it to reduce any bending moments.
The brackets are a bit "work in progress" but I'm happy enough with it.

When I can get round to fitting the stuff on again, I'll take some more pics.

Anyway, the pics I have got are in this link:
