I'm am finalizing my packing for the Triple PPP. I have decided to keep my tools and tire repair equip. in the right side, away from traffic on the side of the road.

My concern is that this will be to much weight difference from the left sidebag. Note much will going over there except for some clothing.

Any ideas or comments? Thanks

FWIW, I've spent most of the last four years with a sizable difference in the weights of the left and right bags and found little or no effects even compared to when I emptied them both.

My right bag pretty much stays empty. The left bag has tools, air compressor, firstaid kit, jumper cables, siphon, clean up supplies and a multitude of other things. I'm guessing 20 pounds or so.

No handling issues I've ever noticed.
