Puchased a Nelson-Rigg CL-1040-TP Expandable Sport Motorcycle Tail Bag for my 2014 VFR800, size is perfect for my needs at present. The bag comes complete with mounting straps, shoulder carry strap, and expandable waterproof cover. The supplied straps have a clip to connect to the D-Rings on the bottom of the bag but on the VFR seat they cant be used as they foul with the seat when fitting the straps under the seat. I used 2off the supplied straps that you can see in the side view that really secures the bag nice and firm. I purchased a couple of other straps for a few dollars that connect to the side loops and go under the seat to do the job nicely. Real nice quality bag and great design. The side pockets are big enough for bottle of water, glasses, tool kit etc very handy. Helmet fits in the bag in unexpanded form as well. My wife now wants one the same to replace her old Saddle bags...

Thanks ADprom great report thanks for sharing. Do I see you have a quickshifter fitted?? It is worth the money? What model GPS/ Nav system are you using? Some great country there, I have done most of it in a car through work, must be awesome biking.

Sorry VifferJ they beat me to it.

I purchased the genuine Honda ones 42755MKAD81 used on 2017 model, haven't fitted them yet. Got them through Webike Japan, not a big cost from memory. I did have a used 2nd hand one fitted when I had the puncture repaired on rear at 500kms on the new tyre. no probs.

Tried it and it didn't work

SC Projects, sounds awesome, looks pretty good Titanium with Carbon fibre cap

Keep and get a boat Problem solved

I will give that a try when I leave work.

Looks like a Kriega 20 might be on my Birthday pressie list, they do look very nice. Do they have any small storage pockets that can be accessed without removing it from the bike?

I know they are in Adelaide but they did a Honda HISS key for my wifes CB400 http://www.portlocksmiths.com.au/

I haven't heard the Arrow or Apra on a VFR. I did last week with the DB Killer in and it was very nice and probably loud enough. But, this week the DB Killer came out and it is awesome, it wont be going back in. Its loud but not overly and the rumble when down shifting is fantastic.

Hey Stuby did you need to modify the RHS box to clear exhaust?

I fitted my new SC Projects Titanium Conic Carbon Cap exhaust.

Like to learn how you did the Garage door opener, sounds like just what I need. Here a shot of His(mine) and Hers with the Jacarandas in bloom on our street about 3 weeks back.
