I didn't want anything hanging down the sides for when riding off road
I expect Crusty will be wondering what I have not taken.

Just done a quick update to the packing. After I thought about it and realised that nothing will fit in the tent over night except me I have bought a water proof dry bag so the stuff won't get wet if it rains. I cut a piece of hard board 11"x22" to fit to the bottom so make it ridged for strapping on to the bike.
I have left the tent on top outside the bag so that I don't have to open the bag to erect the tent.
no wider then the handle bars
also it is easier to get on and off the bike cocking your leg over the seat.
The rack is................................................ ...the sump guard off my old (2005) BMW1200GS , which I have fitted to my Givi mounting brackets, I will show some pictures of that later
