This is what I am debating on. Small bag, but I need something for everyday travel and I don't like the look of saddlebags on a Nightster (no offense to anyone who has them!)

There is a code to get 50 bucks off right now in one of the other threads.

I have the Licks bag and it is bad ***. It won't carry a ton of stuff but does what I need it to do.

Thanks for the info guys I think both suggestions will work well for her
should let her pack for a couple of nights
I love to travel on my bagger and she wants to ride her's rather than back seat
Personally I don't care for bags on a Nightster

I posted a thread about River Road bags a couple of days ago I really like my bags.I have had them 4 years now and travelled over 30,000 miles with them. The best part about them was I lost one of the buckles recently and when I contacted the company about buying a replacement they said they would send me one free of charge. They then notified me that there were 2 differant sizes and would just send me one of each. This is what I call customer service and because of that I will probably not buy anything but River Road Bags in the future. You can see River Road bags at Motosport.com
