I think I will go with something similar to what you have Ted. Does fastening it to the backrest make it uncomfortable for the passenger at all or any other ill effects such as scratching the metal or creasing the backrest pad?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #85067 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Gold Boarder Posts: 746 Re:Alternatives to saddle bags 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yamikaze wrote: Thanks for the response fellas.

Doesn't seem to bother my wife IIRC the backrest pad had a temporary crease, no biggie. Like I said the hard part for me was mounting the darn thing so it didn't slide around...follow the suggestion and it will work great Regards, Ted   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #85119 tamaule (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 88 Re:Alternatives to saddle bags 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My friend uses T-bags. He and his wife travel all over the country. No problems. Never lost a bag and they seem to have all that they need. I will say his wife is a whiz at packing a bike. They also have saddlebags that they use for the everyday junk, 4 packs of smokes, rain gear, change of gloves, extra shirt... you know. I have bags and I pull a trailer.   Logged     Tom Maule Northern Michigan   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85203 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:Alternatives to saddle bags 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Another useful tip passed on to me is to pack clothes in the 2.5-gallon ZipLoc bags. You can squeeze out the extra air and compress the clothes to take up less space - plus, everything stays bone dry in case of a torrential downpour and leaky luggage.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #86143 trexmgd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 29 Re:Alternatives to saddle bags 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I ended up going with saddle bags - but I put them on quick release brakets (Ghost Brackets, E-Z Brackets). Bar hoppen, no bags. Heading out for a few days, slide the bags on and take off. You can even take the bags off once you get there and carry 'em in like luggage.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #86161 randlk (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 424 Re:Alternatives to saddle bags 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Wow, no wonder you're Moderator!
