Have you thought about bags on the front / side of the tank? I think Hein-Gericke do a special "Big Traillie" tankbag?
If you want something like the Riky one, maybe you could adapt some crash bars to come around the front of the fairing?
You're absolutely right, sorry my head was elsewhere. I think building something crashbar like will be the way to go, but Yamaha have done a great job of making the bike very smooth! I'll have a good look this weekend.
