luggage for honda vigor - help!

Hi all!

I'm planning on doing some touring on my Honda vigor (SX650) similar to the SLR. I wanted to get some luggage (panniers and tank bag). I'm finding it quite hard to find stuff that will fit. The tank is quite narrow, without much of a flat top and the tail end is quite wide with grab rails on both sides making it hard to find both tank bags and panniers that fit. Anyone got a similar bike with luggage? Any bright ideas?

Cheers

Alex

I had one of these a few years ago - the only luggae racks and boxes I could get were the Givi ones.

Guess you may be able to buy a couple of Touratech hoops and get a local metal fabricator to make a frame up, and then you have quite a few options for what you mount on them

Tank bad - magnetic one worked - think it was hein Gericke at the time

Hi Iain,

Thanks for the tips I'll just go ahead and order a magnetic tank bag then and look into the rack... already got a top box.

Hope you enjoyed yours! I love the bike, easy enough to ride off road and light enough for a little female to throw around

Cheers again

Alex
