I ride quite often to Aberdeen, leave my bike at NCP longstay at the airport (free for bikes) and go off to work for two weeks. 200 miles is a long way with cold hands.
Anyhow, back to the main point. In the Murray bike museum on IOM, now sadly closed, was an exhibit that might interest you. The prof, Harry Lundberger donated his bike, complete with topbox:

Stop............you and 'The Professor' are giving me ideas. Actually I have already experimented bolting various containers to the back rather than fork out money for Yamaha's box.
Bar muffs are a complete pain btw but on a long Winter journey I'll put up with them.Anyway us Southern Softies don't get proper cold weather.
I'm also going to fit handguards, most likely the Touratechs when they become available and I get a decent look at them.I managed to drop the Tenere on its right side last week while out greenlaning resulting in a curly front brake lever.
