I know that some use the s1000f for touring but have not seen many setups. Can anyone post some pics of the saddlebags they use for touring. A discussion of preferred brands would be appreciated. Thanks.
@lost did you plastidip or vinyl wrap any part of your bike white?I invested in the Givi Sport-T line of kit. The cases are 44L combined (they weigh 22 lbs full of gear), the tank bag (ring mount) is 5L at ~2 lbs full, and I have a 22L tail bag which weighs 5-7 lbs full of gear. I did one trip where I needed my Kriega R15 (mostly for a water bladder). There's enough room for mounting tents, sleeping bags, and other bits with ROK straps.
It's a tight squeeze with both a tail bag and backpack but I make it work for "commuting" to/from my destination.
Here it is with just the cases and tank bag.
Edit: Here are links if you want to replicate my setup. Revzilla seems out of stock but you should be able to find everything over at Suzuki GSX-S1000F Motorcycle Accessories | TwistedThrottle.com.

71 liters is yuge! I dunno, it think it would be tricky securing that to the tail of a GSXS. The price is right, though. It is similar in design to the SW-MOTECH Speedpack but a quarter of the cost.What do you guys think of this, would it work with our bike? TourPack by Rev-Pack
I've tried a few but none work as well as OEM for me. I may try something mid-sized next. Something in between stock and touring, if it exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Anyone know of a good and quiet touring screen
