RE: travel bag recommendations
I have the large. It's the best accessory I've bought. The lumbar pad is great. You'll wonder how you rode without it. It maintains a narrow, modern look on the bike, but it holds a surprising amount of crap!

I have the Biker Friend bag also and love it, using it as a back rest on the longer rides is great.
Here it is on the back of my bike with some MSF reflector straps around in so the people on cell phones can see me at night.

RE: travel bag recommendations
DougW, that looks great on your bike...what size is it? I have a Low Rider and have been going back & forth between the large and medium. I want to use it mostly for same-day trips...so maybealightjacket, glasses, etc. I like the look of the medium but I am wondering if it will give any decent back support?? And I don't have a sissy bar. The large looks big for a FXDL, but it's hard to tell just from looking at the website. Anyone else have any thoughts/suggestions??

It has been a few years but I am pretty sure it is the large. If you go with the smaller bag he sends 2 pads for the back rest and you can put one in front and one in back to move it forward.
