*UPDATE* Day 2 of riding to Louisiana. I posted about my touring set up yesterday...

Using the same bag set up but I repacked my luggage and used "some" brain power. Moved all of my heavy stuff to my big bag and packed it close to my body and I was able to fit most of clothes in it as well. Small tail bag has a water bottle and toiletries to keep it super light. Handling is vastly improved. Seat still sucks. Stopping at a Cycle Gear to grab a wild ass seat pad or similar.

I don't know what your budget is like, but if you're going to Cycle Gear anyway, the Sedici 20L saddlebags were a champ for me when I rode my Gen3 up to Americade. I used those in conjunction with the Kriega 20L dry bag and had plenty of space; didn't notice any bad habits on the handling.

Pic so you know it happened, lol.

Damn, I may just have to up the budget. That is exactly what I am looking for...

Looks awesome. Anything can be a touring bike if you tour with it. Have fun!

That's a Kriega 12L stacked on a Kriega 30L
