1st choice...
Waterproof soft bags on a lightweight frame. For oh so many reasons. Can be expensive though. Matched with small pelican back box and a small Ortlieb roll back on the pillion seat.
2nd choice... Canvas soft bags with waterproof inner bags.. Much cheaper. Ex army bags are great.
3rd choice.... Pelican cases on custom racks.
4th choice... Givi style luggage on their steel racks
5th choice... Tesco plastic bags stuck to my bike with bluetac.
6th choice... Stapling all my gear to my face with an air gun.
7th choice... Stupid big aluminium luggage boxes.. Useless for anything bar comfortable touring.
But that's just me..
Joking aside, the weight difference between option 1 and 7 is probably about 20-30-KG. It's like having a small teenager sitting on the back.
