Default Kuryakyn roll bag VS Tbag switchback

Looking for a roll bag to carry a few things on a road trip, they look identical, what is your choice?

Roll bag


Switchback

I have a t-bag tahoe model and I have a buddy that uses the switchback. I like T-bags. They are some quality made bags. Pricey, but I think compared to other options, worth it. I can't speak on the Kury model, never seen it or used it.

I'd give a vote to the Switchback because it loads from the end... easier to stuff a leather jacket into it. It'll also hold a DelmarState map (which shows every county road in the state)... it's impossible to get one into a center loading bag.

Don't own kuryakyn luggage so I can't speak to it, but do have a T-Bag Route 66 bag and the matching Roll Bag. Good quality stuff.

I just picked up a Kury Custom Roll Bag - great bag. Loading from the end would be nice but its not a deal breaker for me... Loads on the handlebars or luggage rack great and all the d-rings are handy for strapping it down, or strapping other things to it...

The end pockets are nice for smaller items, and it expands a bit too. The taped zippers are nice in case you get caught in the rain!

Actually, you can load the Kury bag from both ends, as well as from the top (see pic).
Used it on several trips and I like it a lot.
It also has the possibility to expand some on both ends when you need the extra space.
Great bag!

Looking good! I don't have sissy bar nor passenger seat, is that a problem?

I think Trev Deeleys has a kury bag on display if you wanted to check it out, or you can take a look at mine if you can wait til next week!
