Also, I use that small Joe Rocket tail bag that I strap to the rear seat (well, when I have a rear seat that is, which I don't have on my GEN5 because of the race fairings). I run the strap for the saddle bags between the tail bag and the rear seat which makes the bags even that much more secure and stable, although they're fine even on the GEN5 with the race fairings where the wide strap between the bags just goes over the top. The secret is in the mounting system that just bolts into your rear peg bolts (you can run with your rear pegs on or off, whichever you prefer).
