Hard luggage - concerns re destabilizing height
Preparing for a trip to Mexico I've been comtemplating the interesting hard vs. soft luggage decision for a Kawasaki ZR7-S. For this model Givi is essentially the only hard brand easily available to me. However, when I located a photgraph of this particular motorcycle with the luggage installed (see www.wemoto.com/wem/pic/tempkawa.jpg)I was taken aback by the apparent mounted height of this stuff.
Half of each pannier is above seat level in order to clear the muffler and the top box looks sky high. When fully loaded I have to wonder if the luggage will raise the center of gravity of bike unreasonably.
Anyone have any experience with or comments about this type of set-up? Thanks.
