I use 2 diffferent casees. A 36 liter GIVI Monokey and a 24 l Monokey. Both on a
FiveStarsSystem. I often drive with my girlfriend to Spain or Portugal.
Sometimes she rides her own, sometimes she rides as a sozia. In both times i
took her backage on my @. That never has been a problem. 
We took our clothes in the cases. Sleeping-back and tent is at the "Heck" fixt
with belts. (Spanngurte). Small items like drinkbottels, camera, ... are in my
Dessert "Tankrucksack" (Tankbag). The sidebags are fixed at the crossbows ?
(Motorschutz). 
Driving this way offroad, highways, normal streets never made problems. Also at
heavy sidewind. 
I always look to use the most of my bike for the bagade. (Gleichmasig
verteilen).

Bye, Andreas
