Anyone hear of these? Like the fact that the mount is tiny when running naked. Which I often do. Ask my neighbors.

Why?
Only enough room for a two night stay at a motel -- unless you turn your underwear inside out every day.
I have a 60 liter minimum for camping/no cooking - with light backpacking gear.

Because I have a Road King for that.
Maybe there is enough space to take a jacket liner, water, etc for 100 mile days.
I did find a spider bungee works pretty well on the passenger peg support and shock towers. Could be good enough for my needs.

I'd go with Hepco Becker. C-Bow mounts. And, their canvas bags look much nicer.

I’ve not seen them before, but the mount and bags look great. Ascetically I think they look much better than c-bows.

Agreed. NO Offense intended. I'm not able to warm up to the look of the C Bow system. Shallow as that may be, the V7 line is so well developed, at least to my eye, that hanging mounts on the bike is, um, well, you know. Just one opinion, and not shared by many I know.
That said, it must me me as I'm the only V7 I've ever seen with the Ventura system. For ME it's a much better solution.

I've got the Guzzi rear rack/soft tail bag on my Griso and I've grown to love it for those needs. It's unobtrusive but pop the expander zipper and it will hold a good bit of stuff. It's on all the time while the HB side cases mostly stay in the garage.
Also, it makes a great cooler for when you are on a beer run :thumb:

I have the SW Motech Legend Gear bags on my V9. They looked great for the first 12 months, but now are starting to fade and they come with internal waterproof liners (I cover the bike when it’s not in use and bring them inside for the winter). The brackets are even more discreet that the ones on this thread in my opinion. The good news is you can buy the adapters separately. I am looking at adapting some nice leather ones onto the adapters for a more classy look.

I went with old style Craven brand fiberglass cases mounted to Hepco Becker mounts using touratech puck system on mine.
Leave the bags on all the time, but they are removable. Craven is a British company that made bags for old Nortons and Triumphs. They are still around. I put the top loading Comet cases on.

Could not be happier with the bike at this time.
