Hey,

So, I've recently bought a Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet (Ownership review coming soonTM) and I want to turn this baby into a touring machine.

Some of the things I want to do:

1. Change the seat (Short term)
2. Panniers and topbox (Short term)
3. Raise the handlebars even higher to make it proper street (Long term)

My top priority right now is to get number 1 and 2. Without these, I will 100% not be able to tour with this. By tour I mean cross state rides. Easily 600kms+. The fast charger for the F77 (Boost Charger) is obnoxiously big and it cannot fit into a backpack. I *need* a saddle bag or panniers to transport it.

Now, this being a new bike, there's not a lot of 3rd party accessories for it (as far as I've seen). The dealership has their own version of panniers but I think its too expensive for what it provides. 46k for the hard-shell panniers (without the topbox). I believe other 3rd party providers offer much better value.

The main thing that needs to be "custom" here are the pannier and top box mounts. There are several templates for popular bikes like RE Himalayan but nothing for such new bikes like the f77.

The second top priority is the seat. I want something a bit more touring friendly. I checked with the dealership and they told me that they do have a connection with a third party vendor but it'll cost about 10k+. Not sure if I should go with that option or venture out by myself and find other custom work vendors.

The handlebars is something I want to explore after a few long rides so it's not a priority rn.

Hoping to find some leads here. Thanks in advance guys!
