Tail Bag Recomendations ??

[1hellofaride]

I ordered a luggage rack from Garauld & can use some recomendations for

a decent size tail bag. Does anyone have one that are happy with that would

work with this setup ?

Here's mine with a Chase Harper. Ten days of clothes is in that top 'box'.

Linky-dink.

Not what yer lookin' for I'm sure, but if you are not two-upping, I use a large waterproof North-Face bag and bungee it as it sits on the pillion area.

I used it to carry all my camping and misc gear during a long trip last year...it stayed forward and a little lower. It also stayed together just fine during all the twisties we rode.

I just bought a fieldsheer tailbag that I'm mounting to my pillion. I like it so far, but I haven't used it on an extended trip. It's supposed to be waterproof also.

As for mounting it to one of Garauld's racks, there is a guy that responded to my post about the bag who is using his fieldsheer bag on the rack. He seems to like it.

Here is the post.

I have a Motofizz tail bag from the Aerostich folks that I mount on the stock rack and the pillion. It's probably too big for most rides, but it's ideal for two- or three-week camping trips; the sides can be expanded 4 (one side) or 8 inches (both sides) if needed. I've got a Garauld rack on back-order, and expect it to work great with this bag.

I was surprised by how well the aerodynamics of the bike worked with this big bag mounted. The bike was rock-solid at even nominal speeds.

I use a Pelican hard case on mine. Mine is a size smaller than I wanted but the 1550 seems to just right.

Mine is a size smaller than I wanted ......

TMI!!!!!

Hey Robert, just tell yourself that it's not the size of the wave that matters, but the motion of the ocean!

I like my Givi trunk....I think it'll hold a small Volkswagon.

A pair of Ortleib dry [longitudinal roll closure] duffels, one small & one large, gives some flexibility by using one or both. If both, the large on the pillion & the small on the rack. Available thru the Aerostitch catalog, item#s 930 and 932 [also available in Medium]. Very tough & totally WP & shy buck'n'half for the pair! May buy the Medium eventually too just to increase the flex factor.

As usual absolutely GREAT ADVISE, INFO & PIC'S from this forum.

Most of these setups look great. Thanks

I have Gary's large rack. I have a Fieldsheer bag and it fits and works perfectly.

I recently bought a Nelson-Rigg CL-150 bag. Good space and it was cheap too ($55)

I run the same thing. Very good bag.

Will that hold a 15" laptop w/out rubbing against the internal compartment walls?

I really like the reflective stripe on the back and the sides.

Yo Brian, I'm with you! Big Bags are where it's at!

I bought mine on E-bay, it's a DaKine gear bag for the gym! It happens to have two end pockets, a front pocket, opens on top, and sports a special vinylized moisture liner for wet gym clothes! I paid $25 for it, scotch guarded it, load it with everything I own camping wise, including a 4 man tent. The stuff that must be dry goes in the vinylized portion. Have rode it to Oregon (John Day) in the wet of Spring and cold Fall, twice!

Absolutely No leaks!

I mount it on top of a 1/4" aluminum plate (12" x 16"), TIG welded to a backrest stand, that I bolt to the rear of the bike with a GIVI E-46/52 rack! Works for me, because I'm a frugal *** B-Tard and an "ex" boy scout!

This old sailor uses the Kuryakyn Grantour bag on the stock rack. It has internal structure so it doesn't collapse when empty and holds all kina'sheet for a few days trip. It mounts to the backrest and even has a comfy pad the wife says is better than the one on the backrest. When I'm solo it sits in her seat, and while I can't actually "rest" against it it gives a bit of tactile information against the lower back and that is actually comforting.

Good bag! Recommended by me... that's as good as it gets.

Oh yeah, IT'S RIDING WEATHER!!!!! See ya out there!
