Need tail bag

Recommended Posts

Looking for a tail bag. I make some occasional quick trips to the store for small items, sometimes even lunch. Would like a small stylish tail bag to go in the bike. Any suggestions?

I'm still trying to figure out what will work for me. My cruisers' saddlebags have really spoiled me for storage. I have a backpack and use it sometimes but want a tailcase or bag. I also have to consider the presence of a tailbag will make it more difficult for me to throw a leg over.
 
There was some discussion of this very thing on this thread. 
 
Oops, I see everyone beat me to it!

I bought a couple of bungee cords and bungee a small bag I had to the nylon loops under the seats. For those of you as cheap as me it works great. Looks not so great, but works well and cost less than $5.

cuts about 75% of the wind, hits the upper half of my helmet. got the screen on ebay I think I paid $130 for it.ive put about 700 miles on with the tail bag sits like a rock, never got loose. I put 3 qt of oil, oil filter, a can of chain wax and jacket liner still had more room.  I love it and for $39 why spend more?????????

This cycle case seems to be just what I'm looking for! I agree with you, it looks more balanced with the windscreen.

Are you sure you can raise your leg above that case?

Just added the Ogio tail bag today. I installed the straps under the rear seat with a few zip ties. I'll update with more/ better pics soon.

Man those all look great, but I am pretty short, no way I could get my leg over the back with that on...I would have to mount the bike backwards, put the bag on, try to spin around...like a bad comedy movei

If you lean forward over the tank, I think you'll be fine. I'm short and with my saddlebags plus a loaded duffel strapped across the bike I don't have any issues after I developed a technique. The first couple times I did kick my luggage, but oh well.

Everything went braap.
