I need to put a tent, sleeping bag and roll mat on the back of the
bike.

Bear in mind, I have twin underseat cans with no heat shielding and
they stick out a little from under the seat.

Renntec sportrack with everything bungied (or similar) on?

Are you suggesting you dont want to bungee stuff to the pillion pad?
If you are happy to do so then one of the big Oxford roll bags, or similar
alternatives, will hold a tent, bag and matt with a few clothes easily
enough. Mine is pretty waterproof. Bonners was promoting something similar
recently if you google.

Ive not used the system myself but a mate rates it highly. Hes used it on
a variety of bikes.

the Tiger had it fitted when I bought it from Phil.

no idea - see above.

What impressed me was:

* how easy it was to switch between touring and sport racks & in
particular
* just how fucking huge the amount of space that was available inside
the double-sided bag system.

I havent actually used the luggage other than to cart home the
various bits and pieces that came with the bike.
