...You mention that you have a Givi top box - have you considered padding the base and keeping your electronics in here except for the camera which you want quick access to. Safely locked away when you are off the bike. ...
Regarding fuel, have you thought about custom making some mounts/brackets onto your fairing or engine crash bar's if you have them for the extra fuel or water. Weight will be down low.

Hi!
I agree it is quite a lot of electrics but I really need all that to update the website and prepare material for the film. Main reason why I wanted to put all these expensive items i nthe tankbag is to protect them from damage when comming off the bike (which I'm sure will happen many times). I'm afraid that keeping that stuff in the topbox is the most risky location as it will be the fist thing to end up on the ground?
As for the water yes I'm thinking of custom making some mounts for the water and attaching them to the crashbars but when it commes to fuel I realy don't like the idea of attaching a container with fuel next to the engine.Unless if I put the fuel in one of the tank panniers as they are high enough not to be damaged when we come off PLUS they will be protected by spare tyres a little bit.
I understand however that the Rainier is roomy enough to fit some of the things in it and overall seems to be a good tankbag? How long does it take to take it off? Is it a problem when refueling?
Thanks,
Andy
