Default Got my luggage rack on

Got tired of not being able to carry hardly anything in that sissy bar bag I have, so I picked up a smaller fork bag (that fit the nacelle) and a 4 bar rack today. Figure I'llpick up a barrel bag or a smaller t bag and actually be able to carry stuff when I need to now

Cool! I have the wrinkle black on mine, and a Dowco nylon roll bag. It fades in the weather, though. A T-Bag brand t-bag would be cool. Roll bags are handy; I use mine all the time.

I have the same luggage rack and I have a bag that goes on it ( not a name brand ) that locks ( honest people lock ) so it's nice to put purchases in for the ride home...WVleo

It looks good. A rack is on my wish list. A set of T-bags came with the scoot. I use the roll bag constantly without any problems, however wont try bigger bag without a rack.

Looks good Schmacher. I have that same rear rack and like it. It is a good platform for carrying a variety of bags. Haven't found the perfect t-bag/duffel/trunk as yet. Let us know when you track it down....

Looks good... I use an internal frame backpack. Works great and is easy to carry into the hotel...

I'm thinking of going with the T-Bags saddle roll, or maybe the Tombstone rigid roll.
There's a few diff ones on this page:

I run the detachable sissy/rack combo and there isnt a day where I dont use it. Eventually I am going to design and build some bags that use the same mounting hardware.

Photo is too huge to place in post.

Bags are after seat, windshield and several other mods. I wear a backpack if it doesnt fit on the rack.

I too have the same rack...I love it! I bought the Harley Davidson/ SAC bags and the only thing I can complain about is that the zipper on the little roll bag gets snagged on the water proof zipper liner and it tore, but other than that..they are GREAT! Used them to go to Thunder in the Valley. Rode 3 days in pouring rain, (emphasis on Pouring), and all my stuff stayed perfectly dry...very impressive. The two bags cost me $299.00.
