luggage on an Evo

Hi guys

I know I'm slightly premature but I like to plan in advance. I'm going to the TT again this year but first time with the evo. I'm going for 5 days but not camping so what do people recommend luggage wise and any photos of setup would be great. I have some Oxford panniers that I used on my SV and Daytona as well as a giant roll bag that was a pain to secure. I borrowed an Oxford roll bag last time I went that had a loop for under the seat and rolled at the top which was great but the man I borrowed it from is coming with me so thought I would ask the people in the know before I buy anything. I'm not sure if panniers will work now I've lost the pillion pegs and put an evotech hanger on.

As usual thanks in advance

I've got some Kreiga luggage that I have used on several different bikes . It's always been 100% waterproof and totally stable on all the bikes . I have a US 20 and a US30 . The 20 is over 10 years old and good as new . They fit with straps under the seat and connect to the bag . Takes seconds to fit and remove .You can mount them width ways across the seat on length ways, whichever suits . Here's a couple of pics .

I have used a 49 litre Ortlieb Rack-Pack for 2 week trips and a 30 litre Oxford Aqua T30 for shorter trips. I secured them with ROK Straps. Because I removed the pillion pegs and their hangers I ended up putting some D rings on the underside of the tail tidy to make securing the ROK Straps easier. An Oxford Aqua T30 and a couple of ROK Straps costs about £50-£60. That’s less than half the price of a Kriega US-30.

I also had a SW-Motech/Bags Connection Trip QL tank bag. That clips to a ring fitted around the filler cap.

Thanks all.

I like the idea of the loops under the tail I might have a play over the weekend. Part of me thinks go get the Kriega but SunEye has me thinking buy the cheaper oxford bag for the odd trip (annual tt trip) I have the large bag for taking all the stuff for camping but now have somewhere cheap enough that involves less luggage

They look like the sort of thing I was thinking of making rollo. Some webbing from a ratchet strap sewn together on the wife’s machine, hole burnt through and a washer either side and I’ve got the same thing for free! Money saved can go towards the luggage. Although I wonder if the loops could be used to secure my panniers then. Has anyone actually put throw over panniers on an evo themselves?
