I wonder if you could strap a bag to the passenger back rest (in the seat) and not have it raise up while riding.
I have a Saddleman tail bag (very large) that I strap on to the rider backrest on my v-rod and it sits there very nicely. I can envision using the same set-up on the F3. Put the cross country saddlebags on it, and I'll have more than enough storage for me when I travel. Maybe this comes from my childhood as an Air Force brat - learned how to pack light with what you truly need and to pack it well.

I haven't learned that trick yet. That's why I have a trailer!
