I get the same benefit with my 17 gal Sea to Summit roll top rubberized wet sack. Roll top fits over top of Sissy bar and bottom attaches with bungee. Attach / detach in seconds and it actually holds "air" for a comfy backrest when touring.

Right on. I'm looking at the ME880 and ME888. The look of the 260 sure does look nice. I'm not a fan of sacrificing riding comfort for aesthetic purposes. So that's why I ask. Thanks for the input!

Based on a couple of delamination posts and wear issues personally if I was sat where you are I would consider something else than a Brazilian made Metzeler unless you can source one made elsewhere. Pirelli Night Dragons or an Avon Cobra perhaps? Have a dig around the forum. I have a Metzeler but only done a couple of thousand miles on it with no issues and seems to be wearing ok, mine was made in Germany.

I think I'll try the Avon Cobra Chrome next time, I've heard good things, and it's now available in a 260mm!!
