1) A bag on the rear carrier causes the front wheel to vibrate.
2) The seat is too rough and for some reason my back aches after even short rides.


 
  I´ve just bought a new Honda SH 150i. Although I´m quite happy with its smooth engine feel there are 2 main thigs that bother me:
1) it has a very small (half-helmet) storage place undernith the seat. So I was counting on bying a good luggage bag. Once I´ve installed the bag on the rear carrier, the front wheel gets into vibrations every time that the road is just a bit bummpy (you need to release your hands-grab to feel it). Mooving the bag as forward as possible (towards the bike center of gravity) helped a bit but the problem remains. (the manufaturer limits the weight on the rear carrier to 3 Kg! I guess they know what they are talking about).

2) The seat is too rough and for some reason my back aches after even short rides (never happened to me before and I´ve been riding for years on different bikes).
