Small Bag that Fits on Luggage Rack

[ElectricFJR]

Has anyone found a small bag that would strap directly to the luggage rack (not a seat bag)? Just something to carry a few items in on a short day ride if you want to take off the bags. I did find this one but was not sure it would fit right:

Seems to be about the right size and shape.

I was looking at this for the same reasons but I'm thinking it may be a bit large.......dunno......

The cortech sport tail bag was the one I always used to have my eye on. The other option I was considering was bolting a pelican case down back there. I just wanted the ability to carry something and not have the side cases on or have to wear a back pack. I was lucky and found a great deal on a smuggler trunk. That thing is the bomb.

Size looks about right.

Holy crud balls! I'm sure that last thing is an outstanding product, but man. Probly says FJR right on it somewhere, to explain the price. Or maybe it says "Harley."

OK, that's enough criticizing. Now I'll offer something constructive. Consider something truly useful--a custom tail rack from Gerauld. It replaces the tiny, rounded, weak plastic stock butt end that came with your bike, has a million ways to strap most any size or shape box or bag down securely. So much better, and safer. He makes a couple designs, and colors to match all years, with or without the back rest.ALWAYS use Rok Straps, not bungees, by the way.

So far I have not found a small tail bag that would work for me, but a small tank bag does.

Interesting rack.....(something about that just didn't sound right to me)....but I digress.....does adding that rack take care of cracking / weak tail section or should that still be a concern?

Don't buy a big bag. You cant put much more than a few pounds on the tail section anyway. I would find somethig to fit on teh rear seat if you're not using it.

I totally agree! Seat bags that can be moved instantly are waaaay better.

crikey - for $250 that damned thing better have the "complimentary reach around" function.

I use the Cortech Sport Tailbag and it works well. And I also have and use this Kurakyn Daily Tour bag which works really well as I strap it on one of Garauld's tail racks.

Plus 1 on the Gerauld rack!

I've got the sport size.

I use the MotoCentric Sport Tail bag on top of that.
