The problem with the TouraTech luggage racks are that the actually look pretty good as well as being functional and not too heavy, but something very similar for less cash would of course be nice. I've not seen others that look as good. The SW Motech ones look clunky by comparison.

What about some kind of extension to the standard Yamaha pannier rails so that you have the option to use soft luggage, but also the OE rails and panniers? (I have a vested interest as I have the OE panniers and will be happy to use them on road, but will use soft panniers for off-road trips.)

Finally (and this might be a bit ambitious) What about a fork upgrade kit so that people can buy a used set of forks (whatever is the most popular/easiest to use as a doner) and then a kit including the required steerer tube, steering lock-stops, brake hanger etc that might be needed? -

Just throwing these out there as a few ideas.
