what luggage for XR400?
Hi I'm an australian that is planning on a RTW on a honda XR400. I'm in Kuala Lumpur at the moment about to buy bike in Thailand. Not really sure about how to approach the luggage situation, i have a few objectives:
*About 75L of space *will wear a backpack to carry essentials (SLR Cam, Passport, eePC..) *easily removable *Secure enough to leave on bike while i wonder around, but will only store cloathes and a few other things that are not vital. So im thinking saddle bags? but i dont want huge bags as they look silly. Wit the backpack perhaps i only need 45-50Litres of space for the bags / paniers? thanks for any help offered.

Soft Luggage option
Andrew,
Firstly I have a TTR250 and mulled over this same question until I discovered Kreiger  luggage. I have the 20L main bag and 2 x 10l bags that strap onto the main bag behind the seat. Very watertight, very secure on the bike. I don't need a rack. I also use a small back pack and bum-bag (tools). I've strapped the tyre levers on the bars and have a small puncture repair kit on the front fender. If you pack light it's all you really need.I carry the following gear: Tent Sleeping bag Sleeping mat Small gas stove etc All of the above I got at a specialist camping store so it is all light weight and packs small. Cheers.

Wolfman stuff is well made too but as mentioned in other threads here, their range is not waterproof. I put their tank panniers on the same XR250 in Sri Lanka in the monsoon season and they filled up nicely with water... Stephan
