Any suggestions for a rear seat bag for an Interstate?

If the wife will let ya have one, a hot biker babe with tattoos would be my suggestion.   cooldude

I use this on my Interstate.

IF you use a backrest, I do have to take mine out to use this bag, but the bag fills the job.  I attach it with a single bungee cord through the lower D rings on the back of the bag and hook them onto the bag mounts.  Have never had any trouble with it.

That does look like a nice bag set up.  I use my expandable T-Bag that I used to use on my VTX, and it works well.

Any size duffel will work........ small to large.  I like cordula nylon for strength and light-weight, but also have an assortment of Tijuana leather B-4 bags.  What you don't want for a bike duffel, is little metal skid pads or legs on the luggage...... guaranteed to find and scratch paint.

I carry a lawn and leaf bag in the duffel, if it rains and I have to put my rain gear on, I bag the duffel too.

I use Dowco's Iron Rider overnight bag. I run bungee cords back to the trunk brackets and look the strap around the post of my backrest. It's a perfect size for the spot, is a solid bag, and has a waterproof cover.

I use this on my Standard...

Photo was taken when I arrived home from InZane last year.

It's a Kuryakyn Tombstone bag and can work with or without a backrest -- I use it as a backrest on long trips.

I second the redhead, Wink but if she's like mine you better keep plenty of sun screen in the saddlebag. And bring plenty of money  with you.

Thanks everybody. I decided to try my ol' expandable T-bag (I'd forgotten I even had it, it was so seldom used on my Aero) and it fits pretty well, I can lean it forward to open the trunk without unstrapping it, plus it's cheaper than the redhead.
