Default Heritage Tour Bag
Headed to Sturgis and looking for advice to find the best luggage components to buy for the money. Saddleman had been recommended. I have a 2008 Heritage. Looking forward to what advice is out there!

Bang for the buck, the T-Bag is the best bet.
You're probl only using is for trips, right?
Those things are slick. They fit over the pass backrest, tie down easy AND they're waterproof.

T-Bags work best for me too. Very usefull on a long haul. I use a Tour Master, around 100 bucks and you will get your money's worth out of it. Plenty of pockets for maps, cameras etc and they are waterproof.

I have the same bag....very nice and matches up well. It's not leather, but for the price it's perfect. Holds a lot of stuff too. Strapped on and tied down, it's very stable.

I have had real good luck with Nelson Rigg packs. I bought one in 2003 and a bigger one this year to take to Sturgis. I have run them thru rain and they have kept everything dry. They have several different sizes.
