Touring mode
I have gone from a 2006 ZX-14 to a new leftover 2006 CBR and I tour. Unfortunately the magnetic Icon tank bag and the Cargo soft side bags are incompatible. The exhaust vent on the undertail wont provide a flat surface for the bags to rest on and no magnetism on the tank.
Does anybody have brands that fit or know of any?

RE: Touring mode
Honestly I think theres a market for a real sport tourer, the sport tourers out now are big bikes, about as big as a old gold wing, personally I would like to see bike made a sport bike frame and engine, but with more support for a passenger or for bags and a better seat and riding position. Its kinda the reason I like older sport bikes, they have a sporty engine and frame but I can ride all day with a passenger in comfort and pack up my bags if I need too. I've ridden a newer R1 and CBR600F4and I just can't see myself riding that all day without my butt getting numb, no offense to guys with new bikes but my 6'2" skinny *** needs a nice seat and to be able to stretch out

RE: Touring mode
The ZX-14 was simple to pack and all products compatible. This looks like my only option. Not bad at really.

Comfort has never been a problem for me though. I'll post a pic of last years trip. Forgive the fact it's not a Honda. I have one now.http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2008200901.jpg

"Gears" has a tank bag with suction cups. The suction cups are activated by pushing a leve and they will NOT come off until you release the lever. It is awesome, I have it on my 08 CBR1000.The link below has a rack that you can attach luggage to on the rear seat of your bike, I oredered one but I have not received it yet. http://www.xtsportbikeaccessories.co...cessories.html
