If your bike is the one in your Avatar, you could just get a T-Bag and set it on the passenger pillion, hanging off the backrest... and another one hanging off the back on the luggage rack. I would imagine with 2 of these... that would be more than plenty of storage for one person. Or if you can do with one, I'd still let it ride on the seat and you have a nice big tall backrest..... and the luggage rack open for roll bag. Less hassle and cost than removing the seat, adding a rack and still needing a bag. http://www.tbags.com/Detail.aspx?ID=18&selectedcat=2Or a Barrel Bag.... http://www.bikersfriend.com/pages/saddlebag.htm |

Chill bogator, he probably wasn't in the service......
Also, I wonder if he ever heard of a laundromat?
I can get by for 2 months with a duffle bag.
Just do laundry every 6th day, evening, whatever.
Takes less than an hour if you don't use the Motel facilities, have more machines in a laundromat...

+ 1 on the T-bags. Excellent quality, keeps your stuff dry. Holds a lot.

Just happened to see some new T-bags made by Mustang yesterday. They looked to be excellent quality with water resistant zippers, with or without studs, and several different sizes...JTL (No affiliation, etc.) |
