My last LD ride I had my panniers on and loaded for bear. Water, food, tools, wet weather gear etc.... I am planning on another ride for this fall, maybe this summer. I want to nix the panniers on the Trophy SE. Have a tank bag coming along with a back rest. I am planning on smacking a water proof duffel on butted up against the back rest for all the fluff that was in the panniers. I also have a desert fox 6L fuel bag that will also share that space. It only takes 1 time running out of fuel in the desert to learn that lesson.
All of this to try to increase the fuel range by tucking the gear inside the air bubble and reducing drag. I wil do a couple of test runs and record any difference in mpg at different speeds.
