Default Sissy Bar Bag Recomendations

Im looking for suggestions on sissy bar bags for a 7 day trip. I don't have saddle bags nor do I plan on getting them. I'm just looking for a sissy bar bag that someone has used before that they really like for this type of trip.

I'm riding an 2003 Sportster 1200c with a luggage rack.

Thanks in advance!

I have a bag made by Saddlemans that i use on my SuperGlide. I have the backrest and luggage rack also. The bag is designed to slide down over the backrest. It also has wheels and a handle just like other travel bags. Has plenty of room for a 7 day trip. Unless you pack like my wife

Thanks for the input! I think I saw that one online. I'll look again.

I have something similar but with the roll bag on top. Whatever you get make sure you can access your rain gear quickly.

I have a couple different sissy bar bags. But now I am using a top loading drybag. It's waterproof and versatile.

Walmart special here! Price was right and it does it's job. You didn't mention price range, but there are probably larger nicer bags but I doubt you'll find less expensive.

T-Bags all the way. It's a good company and they have a lifetime warranty. I had little issue with a zipper a few years after I bought the bag. Emailed T-Bags about it and they sent me out a brand new one right away.

I have the Saddlemen's S3200.
I only used it once then got a tour pak and haven't used it since.

I was going to put this bag up for sale but the Wife vetoed that.
Apparently she likes the bag more than me.

Below is a link for the bag.

It's freaking sweet and I can't imagine there being a better bag out there.

I think you can easily stuff 7 days worth of stuff in it.
The top roll works great for non-clothes stuff and it even has a detachable briefcase like case that you can stow your computer or ipad in.

Got one from Jafrum. Slips over the bar and ties down. Detachable section/smaller bag on top and a expansion zipper as well as rings to strap to the back, like a bedroll. "Sposed to be waterproof, but I always put my stuff in garbage bags inside of it...... just in case

$50

X2 on the T-Bags. I used my last one for 12 years and many thousands of miles in all kinds of WX. Definitely worth the money.
