Cortech sport saddlebags and sport tail bag combo is great. Integrated and the tail bag can be popped off easily with four very secure integrated clips. Will hold a ton, but no helmet. Helmet sits nicely on one of the pillion foot rests and you can use a simple bicycle lock to secure it to the bike. No security for the bags really, but just don't leave any valuables in the bags.

I did get the Kriega stuff (R25 and US10) and it came about two weeks ago. I was waiting to post up anything of length about it, because I haven't had a chance to throughly test it yet, besides around town. Just around town, I must say I am very impressed. Solid stuff, looks good, and functions excellent. I fully expect it to last way beyond the 10-yr warranty Kriega provides.

beyond being impressed on short trips, I haven't had a chance to test it on an extensive weekend jaunt or anything. I am planning a weekend trip here in the next month that should give me an excellent chance to thrash the luggage around and put it through its paces. I will report back then with a full review and pics.

I use an Oxford Humpback Tail/Tank Bag. Converts to either & has straps to use as backpack. Expands to 28L & can take a Full Face helmet.
Just had a good read through the thread & it looks like my Oxford is very similar to the Cortech sport tailbag

I use my tail bag all the time, I add the saddlebags for extended trips to carry all my gear, cooler, food, drinks, etc.

Day-Day and short weekend trips the tail bag is perfect.

Start with the tail bag, you'll see it has plenty of storage, especially when you extend out the sides another 4 inches (2 each side). Then you can add the saddlebags later if needed.

I don't think you can have the saddlebags without the tail, as four of your straps on them go to the tailbag.

I have a Givi Tailbag that I just bought, it was under 200 bucks and it seems to be great quality. I'll try and take some pictures later and post them up for ya

Here's the link to a picture of the bag I got.

Look this one (I have it):

The Cycle Guys Online Store

Smaller (8 liters) but really nice when close.

I just received the bags I ordered online for my bike as I'm taking a week-long trip to Kentucky and needed storage space...

Picked up a Nelson Rigg CL-150 Expandable Sport Tail Bag, set of CL-900 Mini Saddlebags, and a CL-50 Micro Magnetic Tank Bag.

The saddlebags are the perfect size, as the straps aren't spaced too far apart for the tiny tail end of the FZ6R. I haven't gotten everything mounted yet... that's something I'm playing around with this weekend. I'll u/l pics once I've got everything secured.
