The blue TA in their gallery is a member of this site, but I don't remember the name.
I considered getting one of these until I bought a Corbin seat with a backrest....


More flags More fun!

I have the bag..an xl and used on both my america and my R3T touring..put my duffle bag of clothes inside ..when camping will fit my bag,tent,stove and chow(ultra-lite products)I think it is a better choice than a back rest and more diversified with uses..plus its made in the USA!!!!thinking I will purchase the medium bag for daily commutes and local overniter.My saddlebags are full with tools,rain gear and gloves,etc.


life is good..I am retired..sold my America in 2008,bought a Rocket and sold that in 3/2013 and now own a new Triumph Bonneville T-100

I think calling her a bag is kinda harsh.

I ride with a friend (Harley Soft tail) that has the XL and loves it. I've been using the Tombstone backrest bag and will probably replace it with the Biker's Friend. The shape allows for a lot of storage uses including your helmet AND coat.

I have one and its great and I think it looks good on the bike and feels very comfartable if used as a back rest.
Sorry the pic is rubbish.
