So what is the largest item you have put on your bike? I hauled a roofing shingle shovel 120 miles round trip. We have also trailered a trailer. Just how we "roll" here in the Hoosier state.

I'm pretty sure Wazz is the biggest thing I've ever carried on the bike. Other than passengers, I carried a rather awkward-looking cat scratching pole home on the 850. That thing turned a few heads going down the road.Dogma

Not a GS, but...
Complete engine to muffler exhaust system for a 2002 Corolla:
I ordered this on Amazon, and when I tried to install it found it was defective. Did a little poking around, found out the distributor was in Indy, got in touch, and they said "sure, bring it in and we'll swap and save us both a lot of trouble".
But my car was sitting there with no exhaust system... this was the solution.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

I think the V-Strom looks bad ass with the "extended" exhaust. Two thumbs up,

Length?
A 16ft section of angle iron for the workshop when the local supplier couldn't drop it off that day.
Normally, anything too big and bulky for the bike goes in the small box trailer.
But it's surprising what the bike will carry on its own, including two top boxes and panniers.Dave

You want to talk about LOOKS? Try strapping one of these on the back and heading through town.
I was hoping that someone would have gotten my attention at a light to say what a bad idea it was.
I was all prepared to turn, look, then scream "HE WAS THERE JUST A MINUTE AGO".
