I'm planning to live on my two wheeler and away from home for a while. So, I hope my purchase turns out to be a good one.

Sounds like you're heading for exciting times. Do you have recommendations for bags if one is taking a pillion along?
One could go for the standard semi-hardened saddle bags from Viaterra (for the RE Classic / Std 350) but I wonder if one could just get thick cloth bags, and use some kind of waterproofing plastic casing inside.

Do you also have any recos for saddle stays for the RE Classic / Std 350?

Thanks.

Hello! I got back home last week from my trip to the Himalayas.

I wish I could help with some recommendations but I almost exclusively ride solo (and without a pillion). I don't have saddle stays installed either because I use a simple tail bag setup.

But Viaterra also sells some saddlebags that are more suited when riding two up.
