Total novice here. Had my new S1K for three weeks now. One word, awesome. Booked tickets to Assen for MotoGP. Bought Frank Thomas fabric saddle bags (as the bike in the show room had saddle bags). The ?80 Frank Thomas https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/132067640514 ones are a bit droopy compared to the ?600 BMW ones but I thought would do for a short trip.
Two problems/concerns:
1. How do I protect the paint?
2. What is the likelihood of heat from the exhaust setting my luggage (and therefore me and my my new bike) on fire;
Is the solution to bite down hard and buy the Kriega tail bag to keep the luggage away from the exhaust?
