One small thing to keep in mind, that I failed to do: with the bike loaded fully, the kickstand "gets" a bit too tall and parking gets a bit trickier. Luckily, on both my (right handed) tipovers, the bike pretty much landed on the spare tire I had strapped to the sidecase. Oh, another small point: a spare rear tire nicely "just fits" over the OEM side cases - never moved a bit the whole trip. ::012::
Oh, I just thought of another thing: I carried gas on one side and water on the other side (pass. peg mounted). When I go on a similar trip, I will use both sides for gas and carry water some other way - much harder to find gas than water, IMO.
