I am considering not putting in a baggage compartment. An thoughts/regrets in this area. I don't plan on any overnight cross-countries, as I prefer large aluminum tubes for that. The photo shows what the previous owner was planning, but I will have a raised shoulder harness structure in this area making any opening pretty small. I think the small box was to provide an acro-proof compartment, but all I see is weight.
