Hi, got a trip to France coming up soon and am wondering what the best option is re luggage? If possible I dont want to go down the route of changing to the stronger subframe as I will be travelling fairly light. Would it be ok just to swap the seat hump for a pillion seat and strap a Kriega 20 on or something? Does a pillion seat just fit straight on in place of the hump? Thanks.

I have n 02 standard mille and had to buy a pillion seat which I attach my kreiga gear to . If the R is the same , other than the subframe , you should be ok .

Thanks for the replies :thumbup just need a pillion seat if anyone has one for sale? I lent a mate a tailpack about 10 years ago and he says hes going to pop round with it so that may do for luggage.

Just a word of warning mate , the mille is a tall bike and its a challenge getting on and off with a tail pack as I found out last weekend .

I have an Oxford Tail Pack i strap onto the Pillion Seat. Its quite versatile as You can also use it as a Rucksack, or buy an attachment to use it as a TankBag.
So if You've got panniers, a TankBag & shes got a Rucksack You might be ok?!

I toured the North West of Scotland two up on my 2000 RSV, used Oxford Sports panniers. The missus found it reasonably comfortable. I had a good few pics of the bike fully laden but can't find them at the moment, this is the only one I have just now :-
