I'm using the T-bags Tahoe model. Not sure what the capacity is but it holds a lot of gear. It's held up good for several road trips now.  |

I got a bag at Rual King a couple of years ago, nice bag on sale for around $80. It holds a full face helmet plus has plenty of room for more. It's leather has several compartments, and straps to hold all kinds of stuff. It also has a rain cover that pulls out of the bottom, and you can take it off you scooter and use it as a roll around.

Go to Leatherup.com and check out the XS-689, I have a Kury. Grand Tout that's very similar and me and the girlfriend can put a weeks worth of stuff in it and the saddle bags. |

man you aint kidding is similar. looks like the only difference is the saddlemen has a rain cover that comes with it (even though its waterproof as well.) and it comes with the niffty little mounting harness that slips under your rear seat.

Oops that's Grand Tour, I have only used the under seat mount once as it will velcro to the backrest but I see you don't have one.

I have the saddleman bag you are referring to. Used it on my trip last year to sturgis. Plenty of room. I placed it on the passenger seat and used it as a backrest. Most comfortable ride I've ever been on. One downside is having too many pockets...had to dig around for stuff when I couldn't remember which pocket I put it in.

Smoke, with all that room, where you goin', the moon ? Dude seriously (just kiddin '  I've got a smaller version(single compartment). One up, perfect. Two up, well ? Your married, you know I'm happy w/ Saddleman quality/looks. Mine is studded also & people have asked if it's OEM, matching my studded bags. I've narrowed it down to that bag or one other (by Saddleman) for our ride to the M&G next month. Note, you get what you pay for. Before I bought my Saddleman, I bought a sissy bar bag from Leather-Up. Think I paid $70-80 for it. I looked at it & have never used it   Remember, good ain't cheap & cheap ain't good. |
