Motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy riding on the open road. However, motorcycle enthusiasts do not have a spacious trunk in which to store their luggage. Therefore, motorcycle enthusiasts must be selective in their choice of luggage.

Soft Luggage

This type carries many advantages for the savvy cyclist. Some luggage is designed for a specific type of motorcycle. Other types are universal. They are designed to fit on any motorcycle. The soft type is constructed of a tough, durable, water-resistant material and is specifically designed for shorter trips. While it is durable, it does not provide sufficient protection for longer trips.

Hard Luggage

Hard luggage is usually designed for a specific type of motorcycle. However, even after-market hard luggage is contoured to fit the bike without detracting from its handling. Additionally, hard luggage is designed to match the colour and material of the motorcycle. While it is more expensive than soft luggage, it does offer several advantages. This type offers greater security as it can be locked as well as offering greater protection from the elements while touring. While soft luggage is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. During an intense bout of rain, water can leak in through the closures and the fabric itself with soft luggage. Many hard luggage systems now offer a quick-release system that enables the cyclist to remove and transport his belongings quickly and easily.

Additional Information

Regardless of the type of luggage chosen, cyclists should take exceptional care with the fitting of their luggage. Luggage that has been improperly attached to the cycle may cause it to shift during travel, affecting handling and possibly damage the motorcycle’s finish. If it is not secured tightly may fall off the cycle at high speeds. Use the luggage in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Both soft luggage and hard luggage will change the wear pattern on the motorcycle’s tyres. Overloaded luggage will exacerbate this issue and decrease the safety of motorcycle. Heavy items should be loaded closest to the motorcycle’s centre of gravity to minimize its effect on the way the bike handles. When carrying heavy loads on a motorcycle, it is always advisable to take the bike to a mechanic to ensure that the bike’s suspension is adequate to handle the additional weight. Adding luggage changes the dimensions of a motorcycle. Cyclists should ensure that all safety equipment works properly with the new dimensions. For example, side view mirrors may need to be moved or replaced. Luggage that is stored on the rear of the motorcycle should not block brake lights or turn signals.
