Well i finally got around to installing my new tail bag. I have to say it really cleans up the end, and I love the way it looks. It's going to make a perfect home for the Autocom, and will be far easier to get too than under the seat.

Nice set up. Any problems with the straps rubbing on the grab handles or anywhere else?

No rubbing! From the tail pic it looks like it is, but it clears fine. The only problem is I can't access the grip handles to put the bike on the center stand. I just grap one of the handles on the bags and it came right up. i'm a big guy so I can almost bring it up with just my foot though.

nice looking bags!!! does the tail bag stay put or does it want to creep forward like my backpack?

ant_mb · 10-09-2007, 05:17 PM

I put about 100 miles on it today and it stsyed in place!

I'm going to have to invest in a real tailbag. the backpack works good if its full but unless its stuffed it tends to move around a little.

I'm doing some luggage shopping, and I stumbled onto your setup. I've got a couple questions.

1. What brand and model are your side bags and tailbag?

2. Without the tailbag installed, is there still room for a passenger with the sidebags? They look like they might cramp the rider's leg room...

Looks like a very nice setup, how much do you take with you when you have the tail and saddle bags on?
