Touring Bag Recomendations
I did do a search on this subject, but no one had my particular setup.
Here is my current setup:
2020 Electra Glide Standard
I have the Harley Passenger Pillion with a Hogworks Short Sissy Bar and Backrest.
What i need is a back seat bag that I can use this summer for a 8 day run across Mt, SD, WI,
Most of the ones i've seen are used with a tour pack or states you have to have a luggage rack.
So what do you all recommend for a touring bag that will fit on the back seat?

How about one of the HD tail bags that mount on the passenger pillion - like these

I have the first one and so far I like it...I think that one is being discontinued in favor of the second one...

You want a sissy bar bag. Most are designed to strap to the passenger backrest and sit either on the rear fender or a rear mounted rack. But you turn it around and mount it so it sorts on the back seat and now you have luggage and a backrest.
saddlemen makes very good options. Get one that comes with a rain cover

I have an older Saddlemen, very much like this one. It's holds more and is far outlasting the cheap foreign made plastic tour pack I bought off of eBay.
You will need a luggage rack unless you are riding solo and let it sit on the passenger pillion. Makes a great back rest if you pack it full enough.
I prefer it to a tour pack, as you can unstrap it from the bike and carry it into the hotel room.
Check out T-bags and Viking bags too.

I own some of their bags and have been happy with them. Maybe something there will work for you.

I use the rolling tour bag: https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...ng-touring-bag
It will fit on the pillion seat or a luggage rack. At the end of the day, undo the straps, extend the handle, and roll it into the hotel room. When I travel, I put stuff I want to take into the hotel in the rolling bag, and leave stuff I don't in the saddlebags. With it on the pillion seat, you can add this pad to make a great backrest. https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...r-backrest-pad
The rolling bag is on sale now for $180 vs the usual $260.

I have a Nelson Riggs that I bought years ago. Not the greatest as far as options that it can be mounted but a decent waterproof bag with gobs of storage. Harley offers some really nice bags that look very functional.
