I searched around the forums and couldn't really find a lot about this.
I'm the proud owner of a 2004 Savage. My first bike!! I love it and can't keep off it. But there's a problem with hauling stuff. If it doesn't fit in my pocket, I can't take it with me. Kind of a bummer since I plan to do a lot of camping, and will be taking some gear with me
I have two choices: Rack or saddlebags.
Luggage Rack: I imagine I can get a luggage rack, but I don't know where to start, how they attach, if it replaces the sissy-bar backrest, if it requires modification of the taillight, etc. I don't know if I want a trunk, but maybe a trunk that can be removed so I could use the luggage rack by itself (or with a net) could be used.
Saddlebags: If I go this route, I would want a) something that's detachable so I don't have to have them on all the time, b) something that's lockable, c) something that can fit my camping gear and some rain gear (this shouldn't be an issue - I imagine it can all fit in even a small set of bags).
So I'm looking for places to look for this stuff, and some guidance in picking out the right ones. I don't know enough about the Savage, or bikes for that matter to know a) where to get parts, b) how to know what fits and what doesn't, c) etc.
Thanks!
