Sissy Bar Bag For First Trip
I'm going on my first long motorcycle trip here at the end of the month, small rally about 400 miles from my home and I am needing some advice for a good sissy bar bag. I have a very tall rigid mount bar, so I figure a bag to slip down over that that I can lean against would be nice.
Have been looking at Viking Bags, but hear they have horrible customer service. Any advice, reviews and feedback would be appreciated. I probably need to purchase by the end of the week.
Thanks!

Im use a saddleman bag and even with my medium low bar it works great. It comes with a rain cover and quick removable roll bag for the top. One thing I really like about it is the rigid bottom and the full zippered openings on each side. Having 4 outside compartments and an adjustable horizontal devider inside is also a big plus.

I bought the Kuryakyn Tombstone bag. It lets you lean back into it and comes with 2 different size pads for the back rest so you can find just the right spot. I really like it. Here's a couple pictures. Hope this helps you.

I like T-Bags. I have had the Tahoe for years and it's been great. Big enough for multiple day trips. http://www.tbags.com/tahoe-large-cap...ravel-bag.html They have bags of all sizes. A little pricey, but good quality.

I use a Saddleman also. A little different model from the previous post. There is a 2" thick pad that comes with it if you want to turn it around and lean against the bag.

I use the same Saddleman as does Ynots.. slip it on the "wrong way round" and it'll work just fine
although the buckles might be a problem. I have a Mustang Vintage seat with folding backrest so
I can mount mine that way and the buckles are no problem.

I picked one of these up on the cheap at walmart. It's not as fancy as the other bags posted, but for the price you can't beat it.

I suggest getting a good bag. Spend the extra for one that will serve you for a long time. Try to get one with a rain cover.
For how many days are you going to be gone. Mileage doesn't matter, it's how much you need to carry.. LOL
If you were close by you could use one of mine, but your not. I have several for different reasons.
