I hauled an xbox 360 in a backpack for over an hour .. didnt affect any riding. Just got a little heavy after a while. If you wanna affect your riding, put a passenger on the back or load only one saddlebag with 40lb ...

With the GZ, i used to use a backpack, but just would put my stuff in it and then used a bungee net to secure it to the back seat. Could carry a gallon of milk, 2 1/2 gallons of tea and a few other items in there. Never had a problem with it moving.

Suzuki isnt the only one making items for the GZ. MC Enterprises also makes much cheaper sissy bars and luggage racks. As for bags, you can use almost any one you find. Just keep it 15" or less wide and 11" or less in height and they will fit. Get ones that have a RIGID hard plastic sidewall. They will not go into your tire or 'fly up' at high speeds. One end will rest on the shocks keeping out of harms way. I also used zip ties to secure it a little more. Or get saddlebag supports off ebay.
