I don't carry pillions so my tent and sleeping roll will get fastened to my seat next to the top box and I get on and off as royzx7r describes, no problem really.
Hekoheko, how the hecko do you manage that lot or is it a wind up ?  Cheers Ian

Any trip over a week or 2 I prefer a good dry bag over a top box. I have a Givi maxum E52 on my DL650 gate for short trips and around town but you lose so much space with the thing. If you pack it full you cant open it with out your gear falling out. It puts all your gear weight right where its you dont want it and wind buffering can shake your bike around more than I like.

Great pics
Thanks for all replies and great photos - I can't wait to take a photo
of my bike all packed and ready to go in the first week of July! My mate and I have decided to go with 120L "pacsafe" security bags. He can get large canvas (waterproof) bags from his work so we can put our riding gear in there with our large backpacks when we get off the bikes, and take out the "day packs" for around town. Less convenient than a top box but overall many more advantages I think. To be honest I reckon the chances of losing stuff (or getting it nicked) are much higher with lack of vigilance with the day pack. Cheers, Damien PS These pics reminded me of the great photos on this thread: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/travel-hints-and-tips/those-say-leave-your-guitar-34100
