any one out there have feedback or suggestions on a tail bag for 16 Bonneville T100. Rack is pretty small, so looking at 10-20 liter capacity, mainly for day trips. appreciate the feedback

Welcome Rob to the show that never ends, so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside. (ELP)
anyway, "T Bags" makes some good stuff, really high quality and practical. Lots of vendors carry that line. Also, if you want just plain old ultra high quality USA made leather stuff, check out "FoxCreekLeather.com" . Independence, Va.

I'm a cheapskate....bought my ' Lions' brand two piece tail pack from eBay.....cost £39.50.... delivered in a couple of days.
It's not rigid...but that was less of a problem on my recent 1500 mile tour than I'd feared.More important was that the slip on part couldn't cope with the odd shape of the sissy bar on my LT....but I got round that one.
It survived the trip well and was certainly big enough.
Moral of my story is that you don't always need to spend big money on mainstream brands.


I took the Road Less Travelled. Now where the ****** am I?

I've had good luck with my 51 Liter Ventura Top Bag and bracket, they even come in colors or basic black. Two snap on ballistic nylon straps and it's on, transforms into a carry satchel or a backpack off the bike.

I've got one of the NelsonRiggs bags and it's pretty nice and spacious, came with a rain cover and a lifetime warranty
