They say it'll hold two full-face helmets too. I've not been able to
make two fit.

You can two in a Givi Maxia, and they're only 50 litres.

On upright, one on its side.

So long as you can find 52 litres worth buying that only weighs 10kgs.

hmm.  According to Wikipedia, liquid helium has "a density one-eighth
that of water".  Which means 52 litres would weigh approx 6.5kg.

Coconut to Paris, then.

True, it'll also mean that I don't need tank bags and a rucksack. I've
done quite a few miles with the full set on, especially when taking
the kids out. Once you get used to the extra width and weight it's
rather nice.

You're missing a bit of weight and width nowadays though
