Hai,
i wonder if there's a big difference between bmw original side racks and the touratech or hepco & becker side racks : relaibility, solidity ...
I personally don't like Touratech (there service), but I have to admit that there rack's are very very sollid and good. Really a lot better then original or H&B.
i now think about attaching a big bag (or two medium) onto/up the saddle behind me around the saddle and around the bmw side racks (they offer protections too) with bungee cords, something like that
I now use "soft" sadle-bag's and two roll's on top. I like it. Somewhere on the board is a threath with a long long discussion about hard vs soft lugage (search: hard lugage)
Lot's of info.
It's a difficult subject, both hard and soft have lot's of pro's and con's.
Maarten
