Buying S2S - What luggage to maximize storage? Add a trunk top mount?

[mmeechan]

My wife and I are looking at buying a 2023 Sea to Sky (possibly tomorrow).
What luggage inserts do people recommend to maximize storage?
Also does anyone put a luggage mount on the top of the rear top case to add another bag? similar to this:

We use laundry bags. They let you use every square inch your compartments. We have a topcase rack, but use that to put our jackets on if we take them off.

:roflblack: you beat me to it, this was my first thought after reading the op's question..... however if you get soft side luggage ... they can be Stuffed with more items and zipped shut...... JMHO ...Mike :thumbup:

This is the best bag I've found for my rear trunk (Topcase).. It Holds a lot and fits the trunk like a glove.. Has a handle and shoulder strap for carrying...

Hopnel makes a fine set of four. I have had the $1K BRP special formed bags and they were not as good as the Hopnels for about 10% of that price. Both my F3L's were sold with a free set of Hopnels. They are available from both Spyderpops and Lamonster Garage. :yes:

We also had the trunk "top racks" installed on both our F3L's. Never used them for carrying stuff, but they look real cool. :roflblack:

I agree with ARtraveler on the Hopnell luggage. Not as classy as the BRP luggage but much more usable. They are very flexible and conform to the contents and the hard case they are being used in and they are very reasonably priced.

Be a minimalist. You do not need to pack half of your house for a multi- ride. Clothes should be enough for three days then wash. When I first bike traveled for say ten-day ride, I had way too much stuff. After a few more rides, I had plenty extra room.

Most of the responses have been for the F3 or earlier RT, mmeechan. Your ‘20+ S2S has a different shaped frunk. The best luggage I have bought is Hopnel luggage from Slingmods (Lamonster may also sell it). It consists of 2 bags for the frunk. A smaller bag for the narrow bottom part, and a larger bag for the top part. They also sell the trunk and side bag Hopnel luggage. I keep my wet weather gear in the bottom bag.

For the side cases, Spyderpops sells a great bag that has an extra zip up compartment on the outside that fills the cutout in the side case door.

I can’t help with the trunk mount as I have never had need for it.

I agree 100% with these comments. I have the hard BRP luggage and the hopnell. The hopnell allows for more stuff. But keep in mind that with the 2020+ RTL, if you overstuff the bags, you might be able to close the side cases, but they will sometime press out at the bottom and become hard to open. So fill them, but don't overstuff them.

Peteoz is rightous about the soft side bags for the front and sidebags.
For the trunk, I use the BRP top rack and the Nelson Rigg bag

Wife and I use soft bags and a small duffle bag for the back rack.
