For future rides of the same distance I will pack less/better to be able to just use the tank bag and saddle bags or saddlebags and tailpack, not all 3.
when you pack, do you take stuff that you can just throw away instead of bring it all back with you?

you know, underclothes you are getting ready to throw out.

it also makes room for those items you pick up where you are and want to bring back.

Yeah I do a pretty good job, but can always do better. I had so much luggage because I was taking both my leather and textile riding pants for comfiness and rain protection on the travel days and the leathers for the mountain days.

Well I spoke to Don about it. He says to email him and he'll refund your money. That it works well on most of his trouble lights but some of the older or less sensative lights it doesn't work on. Either way he says contact him.
