This is the same for me, one of the reason for side bags. When I strapped a bag on the passenger seat, I realized that this isn't that easy. Also looking for feedback. Different bags? Different mounting and dismounting techniques?... Nelson Rig touring tail bag... When I put it on the bike I noticed it was definitely a challenge to mount the bike...
Those white rim stripes are growing on me. 👍🏻
I actually got the OEM cargo rack and dropped a Givi top box on the bike and love it.Does anyone recommend a tail bag is good for daily riding? I am looking for one that holds its own shape, no more than 8" tall (so I can still get on the bike easily). I see many online, few on bikes. Very few on an FTR. Any recommends? Thanks
Above 100 on stock tires? Might want to watch the helmet video posted by @edgelett ...lolI just traveled with an Indian Tank bag, Indian rack with SW-Motech EVO 50 liter Tail Bag. It road great, did not even feel it on the bike. No movement even at speeds above 110 mph. There is extra straps to put jacket on top of bag securely and room left on the end of the rack to strap a tent. There is water proof bag inside and two side pouches large enough for rain gear and extra footwear. (It also hides license plate from most highway camera) just in case you plan on ignoring the local suggested speed limits and traffic laws.View attachment 3704View attachment 3705
