XSR 900 or other sporbike long distance trips? (lemmy.world)

Hello Lemms

I have an XSR 900 and some old soft luggage from an XG 750. Does anyone have suggestions for mods that would help mount a tail and saddle bags? I am aware that the XSR and sportbikes are not made with touring in mind, but I am stubborn. Really the saddle bags are optional, but would like to be able to take them.

If you have ever gone on some road trips on a sport bike what tricks or mods did you use to have enough tie down points for your bags?

Tracer 900/FJ-09 is built on the same platform.

I didn't know that. Thanks that might help me broaden my search.

My planned trips will be no more than 400mi in a day. My previous ride was an HD 750 and the tail was long and had some gaps to tie stuff right onto the bike. Being able to at least get a tailbag on the XSR means I can get enough clothing for a week to where I am planning. You are for sure right about the windshields tho.
