To pack rack or not to pack rack?

[Zapf]

i wouldnt mind getting panniers for the gn, but dont know if they weigh the bike down to much.

yea they would be a bit too heavy / big for the GN... wait till your up and coming big bike

Pack racks are mighty handy things, especially for comuting and long trips. I hate wearing backpacks while riding.
I have a cheap top box which Ihave had for years, and is now on the BMW. It was on my GSXR750 previously - I used the packrack L brackets and made an adapter for the top box plate. A top box is great for commuting.

"and.... I did come off my bike :P the givi boxes stayed on the bike and them panniers acted as a really good crash bung for the rear of the bike.."

Been there and done that! Saved a heck of a lot of damage to my bike as well- scuffed the trim on the top box, a Givi 52l jobbie... Still works as it should as well.
