New luggage installed

[ripinanroarin]

I needed something to carry my "stuff" in. Seems the older i get, the more junk I need to carry. Warm vest,sweater,munchies,botled water,gloves, flash light, ect. So I tried on some soft harley style bags.....uhhh no. It just didnt look right. My buddy said he had a tank bag he wasnt using for $30 ..ok. Looked like crap on the tank, so I made up some straps and put it on the back. The bonus is...I now have a back rest,..cool.

Great set up, looks a lot better than saddle bags. What size is the bag?

I like your setup..Very nice indeed..

another option for those that may need more room.
I have done the Brownie Run and Americade with this setup.....sorta Love it.....Just bulky , Gassing up is easy, 2 quick release straps, flips out of the way..
Still looking for the perfect setup..
Think you could fit 2 days worth of clothing and craps if needed?

We are getting ready to do our first Muscle Seat with luggage option. We will be stitching in a zipper on each side along the same seam used in the normal cover area. This should be very unobtrusive when nothing is on the bike but allow you to zip your bag of choice on there. I like the tank bag idea for the initial test piece. We will sew a couple of "flaps" on there so we can attach the other half of the zipper to it.

sorry it took so long.....the bag is13" long 10" wide and at the tallest point 10 1/2 tall. Fits, helmet, gloves, raingear, sunglasses, towell, flash light,bandanas,and a bag of bacon flavour chips and a bottle of sparkling cold pepsi.

That's bigger than what it looks like in the picture. Where did you buy the bag? It's perfect for those short trips to the grocery or hardware store I always find myself doing.

Sean, that will be a great option, when do you think you'll have the new muscle seat?

 

[one2dmax]

Probably going to give him the first seat this weekend (going to try and modify one we had currently done to see if we can retro it for previous customers too). I suspect by the end of the month i'll have pics.

I have basicly the same bag(s) setup as Chris', but I seldom use the saddle bags. I just use the main bag, but turned around the other way. My Cortech has the bungies underneath that I run around the turn signal posts and clasp in the middle behind the rear grab bar. Two other bungies go straight down to the side grab area. And I can take it off in about 3 seconds.


....and of course, I can't find a picture of it when I need one...........

Got the Tourmaster bags to fit mine ok, but had to relocate directionals. Easy off and on. Suppose I should take pics and post.
