Firstly

I use the Oxford Sports Lifetime Luggage which comes with everything you would want from it. The zippable base with map pocket does have magnets but it also has straps and a headstock strap so canbe used as a simple map holder. The bag itself is zip expandable and has straps and shoulder straps to become either a tail-pack or a rucksack and has a large see-through waterproof cover. Check the various outlets (MandP, Busters, TheFastOne, B&CExpress,eBay etc.) for offers - retail is about �85 but I've seen them for about �30.

Genuinely waterproof (with cover) and tough as old boots with extra bungee loops all over (can be used for attaching tents, tripods etc. as well as securing to the bike).

I don't like fixed luggage - too much stuff stolen from them over the years so the portability of a rucksack is much better - and it doesn't spoil the lines of the X & R versions of the bike - (the Z is beyond redemption).
