Default Luggage/Sissy bar bag question

I am looking for a good sissy bar bag for my 06 Fatboy. I am leaning toward Nelson Rigg bags. I am trying to debate between the CTB-500 Mini Tourer and the CTB-350 Dayrunner. I have only looked at bags on the internet as there are no places close for me to look at them in person. If you have any input on these bags or any better suggestions, please let me know. I am looking for a mid size bag for short trips, or that will hold a couple of jackets when the wife and I go for a ride. I am trying to keep the price as close to $100 (or under) as I can. Thanks.

I don't have either of those, but I do have the Kuryakyn Classic Tour Bag.

It is very nice quality, and for summer time use, you shouldn't have any trouble packing for a solo trip for 2-3 days. With you and your wife, then maybe an overnighter or two day trip, depending upon how both of you pack. It would be enough room for two textile type jackets for day trips, but I don't think you'll be able to store two leather jackets in it.

It does cost a little more than your target price, but I think it's good quality, and for my purposes, I'd buy it again.

Just got off the phone with Chip at Pro1Powersports. I ordered the Nelson Rigg CTB-500 Mini Tourer. I got a good deal and he said it would ship out today. Props to Chip and Pro1 for the help and great customer service.
