    They say it'll hold two full-face helmets too. I've not been able to
    make two fit.

    So long as you can find 52 litres worth buying that only weighs 10kgs.

    You can two in a Givi Maxia, and they're only 50 litres.

    On upright, one on its side.

    hmm. According to Wikipedia, liquid helium has "a density one-eighth
    that of water". Which means 52 litres would weigh approx 6.5kg.

    Coconut to Paris, then.

    True, it'll also mean that I don't need tank bags and a rucksack. I've
    done quite a few miles with the full set on, especially when taking
    the kids out. Once you get used to the extra width and weight it's
    rather nice.

    You're missing a bit of weight and width nowadays though
