That's a 44 litre pack and yes it is high. Trick is to pack all the heavy stuff low down. On my recent trip I put a heavy rucksack of a mate on top of the rucksack with bungees and it was like having a pendulum on the back. My mate who was on a 749 BP used some Oxford panniers over the pillion seat, bungeed to the foot pegs. Just had to protect the body work from scratches.
