Does the carbon seat cover not come off to reveal the pillion seat, Jon?

Yeah, but the bike looks better with it, so it stays ;) lol.

To be honest the hardest part is trying to find securing points. There is literally millimetres between the cans and the undertray, also the tray has no mount points at all. There are some luggage loops under the seat, the cowl actually makes it easier to use these as it adds a bit of distance between them and the bag.

Have a look at the Ventura racks - it was the only way on the RC8. Great pieces of kit and you can pick off the components on eBay gradually - cost me about 70 all in.

That's not bad, I didn't want to spend out a shed load of cash on something I'll only use once a year

Me neither but I'll sell it for at least what I paid for it.

Bag looks good on the tail.
