storage issues

Well spring is here and I plan on riding my Bob to work every day I can. That being said I'm having some storage issues. I'm military so I go in every day for PT and then change for work. I'm tired of carrying all my crap in a backback. It's just not right. I looked at saddlebags and frankly the only ones I like are the Harley fiberglass ones for about 1K. That aint happening any time soon....soo I'm thinking of a sissybar and pillon or sissybar and new 2 up seat. Something I can strap a bag to. What I would like is to hear from people that have a similar setup. What works and what doesn't? Thanks in advance for your input.

RE: storage issues

there are a lot of sissy bar bags out there that will work great for what you want. might also check out the biker's friend. i've been wanting to get one, but haven't yet. i'm in the military also and use a bag i picked up on my sissy bar.
here is the link to the bikers friend:http://www.bikersfriend.com/pages/bagsize.htm

RE: storage issues

I use a Harley backpack to carry my stuff to work but I use one of the small cargo nets to secure it to my sissy bar so I don't have to wear it and look, well you know. Hopefully bags will be in the future as funds permit.

RE: storage issues

I use the bottom part of a t-bag. I think it looks better thanone of the round tube looking rack bags. The one I got also expands about 2" in case I have too much stuff, and of course it doubles astouring luggage.

It's the naked leather $69 one: http://www.bransonwholesale.com/sissybags.html
