Did not want leather so went this route. Comes with roll bag and rain cover.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496264 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2373 Re:advice on tail bags for a road trip. 1 Year ago   Call me crazy, but I think there's something cool about a bike loaded with gear. Whenever I see one, images of someone enjoying life comes to mind. I even feel a little envious, wondering where they've been and where they're going... There's something about waking up miles from home, loading up the gear and heading out on a long ride far from the usual stomping grounds. As far as bags, I have a hiker's back pack with it's own ridge frame, which makes it easy to strap to the sissy bar. Not to mention, it can carry a lot of gear.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/27 13:32 By Doc_V.   The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496334 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away!

I love seeing mine loaded down. Means I'm actually going somewhere.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one\'s mouth and remove all doubt.

The main compartment is expandable, and it has the sleeping bag roll, and includes a smaller bag as well, kinda like a day trip bag. It is tough, big, and easy to get on and off the bike, which I like. I haven't done any camping trips, and I don't currently plan on it. I like being able to take it off and just put everything in my room at my destination and lock it all up. That way I don't have to run around with it hanging off the bike all day.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496392 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 8242 Re:advice on tail bags for a road trip. 1 Year ago   There is another roll pack that goes on top of my bag (not the one on the front fender) that holds 2 sleeping bags....honest, it does, they are the adult size Swiss army light weight bags and they compact down very small. I zip them together to make any Extra large kingsize bag and it folds up and fits in the roll pack.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
