That is a LOT of gear Lowai, remind me, was that when you were moving state? I remember being very impressed at the time.
For a big trip, I do the 60 litre ventura bag with the ventura rack (which is a bit shit, but seems to be the only thing on the market) and a bagster tank cover and bag. I put the ventura bag on the pillion seat behind me (keeping the weight over the back tyre) which leaves the back of the rack for a sleeping bag if I need it. PERSONALLY, I find that is enough gear for when you are unpacking the bike each night and carrying all that shit into your room or up stairs in a pub. Whatever you carry, you need to be able to do it in one trip, because two trips to the bike leaves your gear vunerable to thieving f*&^ing hounds. Just a tip.
