fastfredyb Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hello everybody, I just bought this tail bag. I recommend it. Does fit an adult XL helmet. I hate wearing a backpack so this was a solution. Check it out http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036GGFV8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfredyb Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I tried stefano225 but I just just couldn't secure it tight enough for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member rmdet Posted December 5, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nice pics and good purchase! I also have this bag, and have been very happy with it. I bought a small luggage lock and drilled holes in the main zipper pulls to lock it shut. Minor deterrant, as the lock could be easily defeated, or the whole bag can just be taken since the straps have the quick disconnects, but I like to think it will help protect contents a bit from somebody who may want to open it on a whim. When I drilled the pulls,there was metal under the rubberized coating (as hoped). Right before it fully bored through, the bit grabbed into the metal and spun it right out of my hand. No damage to the zipper, but if u do it just keep a good hold so the drill doesn't potentially twist and break something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member motomeek Posted December 5, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have the same bag. It fit so much in it! Also comes with a rain cover!! I also run the straps under my pillion seat. I secure all four to a rock climbing carabiner. It's so convenient my GF took it for herself. Ha.

kamalv Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nice looking setup. I carry a really big daily bag with lunch, gym clothes, spare clothes, and other assorted stuff and strap it down with bungee chords. How is that wind screen working out for you? Does it catch a lot of cross winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfredyb Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't exactly know what you mean by crosswind but the Windscreen is good, helps out a bunch on the fwy but since I am a wide guy I still catch some wind. Huge help on the fwy, I can't see myself riding on it without one.

tanner68 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks for the tailbag review OP. I have been looking for a smaller one. Making do with a cargo net in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onuro Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've been using this: Sw-Motech Tailbag Would rather recommend this one since it looks crazy sexy on my bike, as well as on my back! Besides it's pretty aerodynamic so regardless the weight of your bag, you still have the best shape on the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlinhoss Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have the Ogio tail bag. What I do is take a carribeaner and loop all straps in it under the seat. That way you can tighten them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
