Default Need a cheap bag to put on back of Deluxe

Have the "SAC" bag that harley sells. Used it on a couple of trips last summer. The bag held enough stuff for us for a couple of days and we are happy with the size. The problem is that there is no support in the bottom of the bag and it droops over the luggage rack. It was sagging so bad by the end of the trip that it completely covered the the license plate and bent it up. Kind of funny, but need something better. We pack light and we don't want to get saddle bags. Any ideas?? Or is it that I am SOL with the small luggage rack on the Deluxe?

Default T bags for sure

I've got a Deluxe, and got a T bag for the longer trips. Works great...looks like crap though. I'm in the process of changing my pipes so I can put some decent bags on for the long haul.

Have you considered putting a sheet of flexable plastic bent into a "U" or almost "O" shape to stiffen the round sides and bottom?

Check out the Bagtec daytec bag. We are looking at getting one for my wife's Deluxe. Bagtec makes the bags for Kuryaken. I have a Kury grandtour bag that I love.

use a small piece of wood or plastic for support on top of the rack...i use heavy cardboard and it works good for added suport (until it get wet)
