I you have the standard Suzuki Saddle bag holding frames the watch out!
I wanted to go down south for the weekend with my son on the pillion.
We are both about 1m76cm and 86 Kg.
Added to that probably 20 to 30 Kg luggage including the tent.
After driving a short stretch of motorway we luckily decided to turn on to the country lanes.
Then I heard something rubbing!!!!!
The mounting bolts of the saddle bags had cut a groove in my rear tyre *down to the canvas*,
and that inside 20 Kilometers!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not have the springs hardened up to the max.
Perhaps that would have helped(?)
My warning: If you load up heavy, take a test ride first!
Screwed up my weekend and my new PC has died as well!!!!
I'M GOING TO BED!
