Side Luggage Racks for the Transalp
I'm planning a trip down to Prague, Czech Republic where I have many friends, and I will be taking my Honda Transalp XL600 with me. Since I will be gone for a month, this means I need some side luggage. I'm short and not that strong, so I will be opting for the lighter soft luggage carriers. However, I need to have luggage racks so the exhaust doesn't burn a hole in my borrowed luggage.
