I recently bought a set of GIVI T411 Saddle bags. They worked well for the ocassional multi day trip, and are easy removable for everyday riding. They are low cost and the center of gravity is kept low so handeling is still good. Full loaded, 2 up I calculated we were about 1,000 lbs, Maxed out. Mileage was still good only about 42 mpg expressway running @ 80 mph for 100 miles, to 50 mpg touring @ 60 -70 indicated. As pauljo noted, mileage does suffer at sustained high speed. My wife said her legs were resting a bit on the softer bags, but was more comfortable. Pictures and a Review are posted
