Hi Guys!
I think I'm going to make the plunge and trade in my Ninja 250 on a new ZZR-600, got one question, though-

How do you mount a tail bag? What fits?

I've got on nice little Eclipse Rumple Pack tail bag that works well on the Ninja (which has hooks, remember), maybe it will fit on the ZZR-600 too, but I don't have the bike yet. It is 13 x 11 x 7" (expands to 12") high, it will (just) hold a helmet unexpanded, I'd like to have a bag about size for the ZZR-600.

Any ideas?.

 

HEY JIM,
I HAVE TWO BAGS FOR MINE ZZ. I HAVE A TANK BAG BY JOE ROCKET WHICH I LOVE. I CAN'T CARRY TOO MUCH IN IT BUT I HAS A MINE POUCH AND TWO SMALLER ONES, ONE OF WHICH HAS A SMALL WINDOW TO PUT WHAT EVER YOU MAY WANT. I PUT MY IPOD IN IT ON THOSE LONGER RIDES AND IT ALSO SAVES THE BACK ON LONGER RIDES. I ALSO HAVE AN ICON "SQUAD PACK" WHICH IS KINDA A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL DEAL BUT HAS ADJUSTABLE STRAPS IF YOU WANT TO TAIL MOUNT IT OR REGULAR BACK PACK STRAPS. I WOULD RECOMMEND A TANK BAG TO ANYONE WITH A SPORT BIKE THAT GOES FOR LONGER RIDES.
GOOD LUCK

 

Thanks, AHuffy!-

I should be picking up the bike tomorrow or Wensday (if it ever stops raining), so I'll try out the fit of my current bag. I'm not to crazy about tank bags in general, but I might have to get one, too.

 

I'LL GET A PICK OF MY TANK BAG ON MY BIKE TO SHOW YOU IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS. I GOT MINE FORM MY GIRL FRIEND AS A GIFT AND JUST TO HUMOR HER I PUT IT ON(MAKE HER FEEL GOOD). AND ENDED UP LOVING IT. BUT TOO THE POINT I GET SOME PIX FOR YA.

 

I love my Joe Rockett Manta tank bag. I was kinda thinking I wouldnt like it when it came in, but now I almost always have it on there.

 

Am new here, I have a Dowco sportbike tailbag, which I used for my other bike (katana750), Think it will work well on the zzr600 also. Its awesome, Its low profile, but I can put my 15 lb. bowling ball, and shoes in it, they fit perfectly! Now, if I could just get more strikes.... It has the straps which go to the rear pegs, or subframe.

 

I don't really bag it on mine, looks like some good suggestions though
