Any suggestions?? I commute 80 miles to work everyday and needless to say my back kills me when wearing a backpack filled with lunch ect... I have an 01 kawi ZR7-S i leave in the morning when it is still chilly sometimes, and usually
roll in around about dark. So I never know what weather is gonna do. any suggestions on good affordable tail bags or something else?

 

Fullmonty, I always like to keep my "packaging" in front of me, rather than behind me where it can fall off and me not know it. If I was doing it regularly on a commute, I would invest in an expandable tank bag, and make DARN sure it was secure. That's not to say if I was looking for a means to haul stuff I wouldn't consider a tail-bag, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Kinda depends on how much you're hauling; laptop? books? What kind of weight? Secure, low, and centralized is best.

 

I ride mine everyday to work and I have a tank bag, it has four magnets and its right in front of me. I love it cause as soon as I get to work it comes off real easy and straps on me like a backpack.
I had one in the tail and now I don't know where it came off at.
I just got to work one day and it was gone... no ideal what, how or when ......

 

i just picked up these Nelson Riggs silver streak mini bags for my bike. not too big and only stick out 2 inches farther then the mirrors. heres sum pics.

Thanks, i didn't know that tail bags would come off so easy? The tank bags sound like they would be to bulky for the size i would need to cary all my stuff in. Those aren't bad looking saddle bags, i just like the paint to match better. Thanks for the info.

 

yup real easy on and off. they do have a couple of different colors too.

 

Rick, Does your tank bag hinder your riding at all as far as getting out of the wind on the
highway, or movement in general. How much can an average sized bag hold??
