    I have the OEM Honda luggage rack. To attach the bag, I used soft ties to extend the width of the small footprint of the rack. Worked great. Sorry, those are the only pics I took.

    Bought an F6B last June in Vancouver.....ran it 3000 miles over 9 days or so to Sudbury Ontario and then in September ran it to the east coast another 2100 miles or so in 5 days. My wife was on the back. We didn't do any camping but probably could have found rom for a tent and sleeping bag.

    We are getting to be old farts....(speaking for myself) so use to toughing it out a bit. But nothing tough about this bike. Flies with power to spare, brakes to match and my wife was pretty comfortable in the stock saddle. I threw my old sheep skin acorss the drivers seat a couple of time for the longer days.

    I am all in on this machine.....can't say enough about it....really really like it.

    Basic Gear For Me

    Made a ten day camping trip early last year to ride some of the twisty roads in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.Attachment 11091 I utilized a couple of canoe dry bags for my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, ground cloth and some clothes. One saddle bag went for rain gear, jacket etc with the other being my cooking gear and misc. The dry bags were strapped on my bike length wise over the passenger seat and rack giving me a backrest. I used ROK straps to strap the bags, never work loose. Simple and worked well for me,
