Keep in mind the ground clearance and the max. lean angle decrease when lowering the bike.

Thank you for showing the technique on using the center stand. I was having the hardest time propping it up on the center stand initially. Great informative vid on everything!

The best solution is the standard chassis with leather bags on the left and right and discreet holders. With the short springs less ground clearance, heavy jacking. And without the panniers, the rear looks bad when the pipe supports are showing.

I agree with you. I spent time looking for a detachable transport solution for my Meteor and the Givi system has the great drawback of requiring a very cumbersome and unnecessary structure. In my case, the motorcycle will be longer without a load, because for daily use a small handbag that I carry in the pillion seat is useful. Finally I bought a couple of beautiful leather saddlebags, Kappa brand, which I am reinforcing with an internal aluminum plate, and a set of Clickfix system supports that are fixed to each saddlebag and are attachable with an internal key lock to a discreet support wich is bolted to the rear seat bolts. I put too a key lock in the cover of each bag. I am also not convinced by the lowering of the bike's height by changing its geometry and cutting the suspension travel so drastically. I reach the ground with the toe of my boots and with practice I feel more and more secure after a little scare due to uneven terrain, but I have never fallen to the ground.

Those bags are interesting. I've always had bags on my bikes. But, this bike looks so good without bags. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on bags yet. But the Givi is something to think about.

I went with brown leather bags, seemed to match better

I prefer to just wear a back pack... Love how my Fireball yellow looks now.. Got a little fly shield, end bar mirrors and the pillion back rest... That'll do me. *Crap Game*

Very nice set of panniers and rack system. Probably one of the best I've seen. I think the lowered bike was surprising that someone would need a low bike even lower. If you really need a bike that low, you would need to shorten the stand as well. The bike you were demonstrating, the stand was almost unusable. Nice demonstration though.

Those bags and racks look excellent. It would be my top choice if i went touring with the Meteor. Those lowered shocks...not so much. It looks nice and low, but 2 inches is a lot of travel to take away from a bike that is already rather stiff in the back. I would consider 1 inch lower, but no more than that. Gotta check what's in the market for those measures.

Hi, I can’t help thinking that the panniers are the wrong way round, but I’m not sure. It seems like the pannier lid slopes backwards, if it were reversed would the passenger have more leg room. Just an observation, I may be totally wrong.

Doesn't shortening the rear shocks mean the wheel will bump the underside of the guard/chassis very easily?
