Living vicariously through you since I can't get out and ride.
I'm curious if the handling will change much once you get the gear stowed in the tail. At the Vetter rides folks had to be able to carry the 4 bags, but not sure anyone did. Figure it will shift CG rearward, but not sure how much that hits you with all the batteries and electrics up front. Hope you have a fun trip!!
