I'm looking for your recomendations for a waterproof bag (on wheels if possible) that also serves as a backrest, that mounts on a sissy bar, and fits a speedmaster well.

Is that so much to ask?



[There must be a good reason that so many of these bags are not waterproof, but off hand I can't imagine why that is.]

LJ,

I thought "T bags" carried something along those lines, wheels anyway. I looked at their site a lot 2-3 years ago, keeping an eye on the close outs. I wasn't certain which "slip over pocket" size fit the Triumph back rest properly. Ended up buying Carolina Leatherworks gear out of Carolina (of course). Maybe somebody else on here can provide input, or just contact them directly. I see T Bags on the road all the time.

Hope this helps, could be you've already looked.

freedom beat me to it. t-bag model Route 66, in their large bag selection. I use one of their expandable bags all the time. I think there is another vendor that has a traditional luggage model as well. I'll keep looking. Good luck.

I'd like to find something like this
http://motorcycle-luggage.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/MLK4143-ALT1.jpg
that will work as a backrest for longer rides

Bigger, waterproof without the need of an additional cover, and on wheels wouldn't hurt my feeling either. I've Googled high & low, to no avail. Maybe I'm the only one who would want all that in one package.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I settled on this one - http://www.bagtec.com/FullDresserBag/
from these folks
http://motorcycle-luggage.com/Merchant2/...de=SissyBarBags
I might need a little square Kmart pillow to go between the bag & my back. We'll see.
It oughta get the job done.

I think you are best off making waterproof, size, and wheels your top priority, and then improvise the backrest part when you get it, you know packing it a certain way, maybe even strap a pad to the front of it, that kinda thing.
