XSR 900 or other sporbike long distance trips? (lemmy.world)

Hello Lemms

I have an XSR 900 and some old soft luggage from an XG 750. Does anyone have suggestions for mods that would help mount a tail and saddle bags? I am aware that the XSR and sportbikes are not made with touring in mind, but I am stubborn. Really the saddle bags are optional, but would like to be able to take them.

If you have ever gone on some road trips on a sport bike what tricks or mods did you use to have enough tie down points for your bags?

What is the search terms for this? I have a kriga tail bag, but tam missing some space to be able to tie it down. I also have a tank bag, but that hangs on with strong magnets, so should be fine. Im not sure how the saddle bags I have might go on due to the rear tire being more exposed on the xsr, so I am okay with just not using them.

I don't know if there is a search term, it's my as yet unnamed invention 😄
