Tbags question
Hello everyone,
I went to the tbags site and looked at a few of their touring options. They all look very similar to me. Can anyone suggest a particular model? I don't want something too bulky, but would like enough room for probably 4 days worth of stuff. Also, is this going to be a better option than buying a detachable touring pack? Thanks.

Tbags makes good stuff and I was looking at the Lonestar. http://www.tbags.com/detail.aspx?ID=25
I'm looking at this for week or longer trips. Since only you know how you pack, only you would know how much room you'd need for 4 days. If youi're looking for a smaller bag, check out the Kuryakyn GranTour bag. I have it and use it all the time and love it.

RE: Tbags question
I have the Tahoe with the top roll. One thing I found with mine I am not too satisfied with, is when the bag is stuffed, the rain cover will not fit. Do a dry run packing and make sure you can still get the raincover on. Btw, I emailed TBag about this and they sent me ra # for the raincover to make sure its the right one or to see if there is a design problem. I guess the guy who owns the company designed the raincovers and when I told them about this he reacted immediately. I got a phone call from them within 2 hrs of sending the email. Personally, given the type of material they make the bag with, I cannot see how a bag could be so stuffed full that the raincover would not fit. Well guess we'll see how this turns out, but at least the company is willing to listen.

RE: Tbags question
T-bags work great although I don't actually have one LOL. A local person here makes copies of the expandable T-Bag out of leather and sells them through some dealerships occasionally for $100. I have used mine almost 10 years and if an expandable T-Bag is like this thing it holds a ton and is not too big if you don't need to expand it all the way. It didn't include a rain cover so I use Hefty bags as liners inside.

RE: Tbags question
I just bought the KURYAKYN FULL DRESSER BAG model # 4140. You can get them fairly cheap on ebay. Bought my new for $149. Has alot of space and is expandable.We really enjoy it. I too didnt want anything bulky and this bag fit the bill perfectly. Here is a link.

The top portion in the pic folds down if you dontneed it. Of course my wife needs it though. Still not bad at all when fully expanded. Just another option.

Yea.......if you get the RiggPaks Survivor Series you dont need no stinkin' rain cover! I rode thru Flagstaff last year in a torent down pour, everything was dry as a bone except me! They dont have all the fancy outside pockets like some other bags, but theyare priced right too.I would buy them again.
