This was taken during my maiden voyage.  I have some tweaking to do yet, but I'm happy with it overall.  Salsa Spearfish, Revelate Designs luggage, mix of misc. goodies. 

Originally I planned to place my water bottles in the feed bags by my stem, however that turned out to be a very poor implementation which adversely effected handling.  The weight of the water bottles caused a steering shimmy even at low speed, and also preloaded my forks by almost 40%.  I was astonished two water bottles made that much difference. I relocated them to the lower stanchions which immediately shed the shimmy and I regained full suspension travel once again.
