Default Need some T Bag recomendations

Bought a luggage rack and I'm gonna get a bag. Don't wanna get one those barrel ones, but I don't need something huge either. Just big enough to carry a couple of jackets, etc.

Just got my T bag expandable in and it would work for you. You don't have to expand it for a couple of jackets but if you needed more room for a weekender it would work great expanded. It comes with a barrel bag also but you wouldn.t have to use it. Best of both worlds

Check out the Kury Gran Tour bag, sound like the size you're looking for. I have one and love it. Great quality.

+1 on the Gran Tour...and has a built-in adjustable backrest...and easy enough to get in and out of while attached to the bike.

The Grantour is rigid with lots of pockets inside and out.
Rigid means you can start out with extra space in your bag for acquiring stuff on your trip.

I've owned 2 different T-bags. The first one is in the landfill after ripping apart. I've kept the second one as a loaner.

Can't advise as all I have is a large T-bag.

That sure is a nice sunset shot of your scoot though. Really nice.

I have the Universal Expandable, which is considered a large bag. But the main part can be ziped or unziped depending on the size that you need. It does have the "barrel" as you put it which you can use seprate or together if you plan on at a later time going longer distance it is very handy to have the extra space. It also has the adjustible backrest attachment which makes it easy to attach to the bike. But hey buy what you need.

My old Willie & Max bag that I got off ebay for $19.00.
Still use it a lot. Perfect size - will hold 2 six packs of bottles + a bag of groceries.
Easy access and side pockets. Fits a small sissy bar with no problems.
