Solo saddlebag & roll bag on the handlebars when needed.

I use this Saddlemen High Roller Sissy Bar Bag - Studs. It's perfect. Works as a briefcase and luggage for all trips. Comes with a retractable handle too.
You just caused me to spend $139 plus shipping on that bag! It is either a late B'day or early Fathers Day present to myself....

The swingarm bags work and look great. But, don't get suckered by the cheap LaRosa crap made in Mexico....like I did. Get a Garage Leathers bag.
