Hey all

I've had my bike for a few weeks now and and getting tired of wearing a standard backpack for my commute so I am looking into storage options for my uniform and other bits.

The YBR Custom has a luggage rack on the back but I am not too fond of the top box solutions out there. I can't seem to find any clear answer to this elsewhere but can tail packs fasten to luggage racks?

I know that may sound like the dumbest question ever but it seems like some fastenings would not be suitable for the rack?

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations?

I have Hard luggage on the XJ and a set of soft luggage both are great but I prefer the soft luggage as it just sits across the seat and you can still carry a pillion if you want, not much help there I know, so if I had to choose between the two I would have soft luggage, holds about the same amount and has plenty of room for odds and sod's and if your filtering they are not such a problem cos they sit nearer to the bike and don't stick out like hard luggage does. But if money were no object I would buy the large tail pack cos that way you can tell anyone that there's not enough room for a pillion and they hold twice the amount of most panniers. I think as well you can use the tail pack as a ruck sack type thing to make it easier to haul your stuff around. :jossun:
