I have mine set pretty far back as i like lots of room on the bike. I'm not prepared to compromise riding position just to get the bag in the best place. As a result mine sits quite high, resting on the exhaust shield and toolbox. I just have enough rear rack left to ram a roll bag in containing the tent.
Bob manages to get his kriega us10 mounted behind his hemisphere so you can imagine how much further forward his setup is.
We have vastly different riding styles due to bobs-one-leg, he sits down whereas my knackered knee means i stand up wherever possible. Both setups work great, we've both done bigish trips in 2018 without complaint so anywhere in between is possible.
Here's mine

So, it looks like you have the hemispher saddle bags with a rolltop bag ontop of that (attached to the hemispher saddle bags), and then the smaller rolltop bag (with your tent) at the back. Is that correct?
Also... What luggage rack do you have under all that lot? Obviously it does a decent job, as what you show on the pic, is pretty much where i plan to be.
Finally, are those hand guards the barkbuster jet ones? They look pretty cool, and hand guards are also on my shopping list!
Thanks matey...
Roy
The handguards are polisport plaggy things, no metal brace so they're not as good as barkbusters but they do the job.
Not quite right on the luggage, the red roll bag (tent) sits behind the altrider, i hitch the altrider up and shove the roll bag fractionally under. I use two rok straps, one end fastened to the rack, tother end fastened to the altrider. That's it.
The rack is from Thailand, bikerzbits.com i think, exactly the same available on ebay. I modified the rear mounting stays, they were crap. I made some rudimentary stronger ones, easy.
