Light luggage solution

I think it is a smart mod...better get a patent before someone starts making and selling them

Too late. Luggage locker already has the patent on that type of system.

luggage locker has some cool stuff...but my reasoning was I had some kick-ass luggage already...didn't want to buy anything else but make what I HAD work

Ducati (and some other company- forgot the name) already does. I've seen the 848 version in person- it's pretty small. I think they're available for almost anything with separate seats- using the stock seat mounts.

Nice! Are you worried about the security of the seat latch at all? I guess it's not like you're mounting a heavy full-on hard topcase on there.

No...these would JUST be for the small bags...I don't think the R1 tail would really support MUCH more

good mod though

About how stable is that setup? Does it hold pretty well against a strong cross wind? About how much weight do you think it'll hold?

I dig the setup a lot. Good job man.
