I am considering buying ST1200 and i have a few questions about factory luggage. I have never seen factory luggage in person but on pics, appears to be half decent quality. Main questions are about durability and passenger comfort. In pics I've seen, looks like sidebags could interfere with passenger legs. So if anyone has any experience with the sidebags and a passenger, I would appreciate any feedback. Also I can get factory sidebags with brackets for $880 out the door, seems a lot cheaper than aftermarket stuff. Is that a good price? I would like to be able to remove bags easily and often. Does anyone know how easily the bags come off? :question: I don't like some of the aftermarket because of the metal brackets that remain on the bike after bag removal. Any information on upper box would be appreciated as well. I would like to have a topbox with a backrest for passenger, not sure if factory setup is strong enough for that. Most important question is passenger comfort with factory bags. Sat on bike at dealers and seemed like handlebars were rotated way too far forward, is that a common thing for other people as I feel like I'd have to rotate them back.
