I have searched online and only found 2-3 pretty expensive options. I am looking for something that either attaches to or slides over the rider backrest that has a storage pocket on the back large enough to hold a phone. I found the HD option for $100, and one or two aftermarket options that are $50 plus.
Do any of you have something that works that isn't so expensive? or have you spent the money for the HD one and feel it is worth every penny?
My wife will take maybe 3 trips a year with me so I am having a hard time dropping $100.
I need to order something this week we are leaving on July 13th and I want it for that trip.

+1 on this bag. I have it on my RK rack. Perfect size. Main compartment holds a lot, and the sides expand if you need more room. Side compartments too.

The OP isnt looking for a touring type bag of any kind. Hes looking for a small bag that attaches to the riders backrest, not the passengers.
