Default It's New Luggage Time...

Since my wife (version 3, 2010 edition) wants to travel with me, and some of these trips are going to be more than the 2-4 nights out that we normally do, I've decided to expand the luggage collection beyond my trusty tail bag, and today came across this....

http://www.hotleathers.com/Hot-Leath...P8329C116.aspx

At 28x26x10 and approximately 7000ci, I think that if we use the space bags that we have that packing for 8 days out should be fine as long as I can convince her that she really DOESN'T need more than her boots and one pair of shoes.

I'm not REAL concerned about the weight, but at 28 inches wide, this thing is going to be out as far as my stock Heritage bags and at 26 inches high before you put the accessory bag on top we'll have to pay extra attention to being top heavy...

My question is this...does anyone currently have one of these, or know anyone that has one, that can give me some input on how it effects their bike. I'm not planning on making any speed runs with it, but know it's gonna make a difference...actually, it will be the BIGGEST luggage I've ever had on the back of a bike...

Any and all input is GREATLY appreciated!
