Well just got back from the NW200, the wife and I have covered over 600miles with all the panniers and top box on, and I have to say my brackets have transformed the ride. I have access to all the space on the front seat she now has access to the whole of the pillion seat and has room to move. It's 100% more comfortable for both of us, compared to the trip to brands before I moved the top box back. and I didn't notice any difference in handling at all. In fact one of the party members on a Triumph ST asked how the feck I get it over so far with all that luggage on and on offence your wife? Well pleased I did it and looking forward to Europe in a few months.
