    I've been thinking about adding some hard luggage (panniers) to my 1995 VFR. I'm not finding any manufacturers that make the hardware mounts for this model anymore. Can someone help me with options? What do I need for mounting?
    Thanks!

    I'll interpret the silence as "there are no good options for you". That's cool, now I know.
    I did see a nice set of color-matched, hard panniers and a top box on FB Marketplace for $1500, although they aren't for a VFR. They come with a free Honda ST1100 motorcycle :)
    That might be a good option. No such thing as too many motorcycles, right?

    I have this along with a bunch of VFRs. I absolutely love it. They are big and heavy, but you can boogie on it. The luggage system is killer, you can fit a full face helmet in the saddle bags. I have a top box too that can carry two full face helmets (50 liter).

    Thanks Captain. That's a nice looking bike. It is stunning how cheaply you can buy these. My one concern is the weight. I'm not a big guy (5'6" 160lbs) and worry that I'd struggle with the size of it. I had a 6th gen VFR and felt that bike was heavy for me. There are a lot more ST1300 around here for sale. Any opinion on those?
    Thanks!

    I don't think you are big enough for the ST1100.

    The 1300 is a very good bike, but is similarly sized. The ergos don't fit for me and I purposely wanted the analog/carb ST1100 without linked brakes or ABS.

    The 1100 just simply works for me and works really, really good.
