Bags, tank and tail

[DragonNester]

I could use some ideas on bags to buy.   Pix would be helpful also.  So, gang can you help me?  Are there soft throw over saddle bags that work with the 2010 Tiger 1050?  I only want them for the occasional light touring I want to do.  The tank bad would probably stay on the bike...so not too large is more desirable.  Will the silencer heat shield keep a saddle bag touching it from over heating?

Thanks for any and all ideas or proven products recommendations.

Oh yeah, I put 300 miles on the bike (breaking it in) and it handles like a dream!!!

Using Trax 37 L hard boxes. Changed my Can to a Zard to get equal distances by modifying the SW-Motech EVO racks.

Using an SW-Motech City tank bag on the quicklock electric tank ring, bit pricey bit very convenient.

Never seen a Roadie with soft bags, the heat shield on the standard can is cool enough to touch (UK climate) unless you sit in traffic for extended periods.

The Oxford soft bags get good reviews and like other Oxford kit is good value for money and seems to be above average quality, not sure if they are available in the US.

Have a search as there are a lot of threads scattered around the various topics.
