Re: [ST] Oxford 'Humpback' tail pack luggage

["Barry Evans" <barryevans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well i guess i'll reply to my own mail!
Visited a nearby dealer today to test it out. Very well made, looks good
and -more importantly,  it fits even with a sheepskin seat cover and Triumph
soft panniers already on seat. The only real problem is a lack of good
bungee anchor towards the back of the ST. I was tempted to hook to the
indicator storks, but I guess thats not a great place for them! The harnness
zips in to the bag/rucksack quickly and easily, so you can take your pick.
Just popping out, use it as a backpack. Going a little further or too hot,
zip it down. For anyone looking to maximise *soft* luggage space for single
person touring (and who doesn't want a top box,) then this would be a good
solution. I'll post some pics when I pick it up soon (they only had a silver
coloured demo in stock).
