I carry 2 5lt plastic petrol cans in small rucksacks (kids rucksacks brought at bootfair for £1.50) i put bubble wrap in them to act as shock absorbers & let the wieght rest on the rear foot rests(this keeps the wieght low) . Its cheap & worked well on a 8500 mile trip to N/W Africa including quite a bit of off road ridding in the desert . If you pm me with your email i can send you some pics or there maybe some pics of my bike (the tatty 1100gs) at this years UK HU meet at Ripley.
