Default Recommended Touring Bag

I'm looking for a touring bag to fit on my Ultra. My trunk has the rack on it. Figured I could us it when riding two up or use it for my camping gear when I go solo.

Any recommendations to get and warnings to stay away from.

Thanx
Mack.

Harley has a nice one for $200. stackable, even has a day bag. they are waterproof and the day bag even has a liner that can convert it to a cooler. works great and is easily removable. I use the crap out of mine and have had no problems with it. I believe T-Bags also makes a similar one.

WOW!!!! over 50% off is a great deal! (MSRP is $230) The T-Bag "Dekker" is a nice one as well.

I just bought the SAC Rack Bag for $99 to use on my 2008 Ultra Classic with tour pack and rack.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Perfect size.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I seriously considered the T-Bag Dakota, as I have other products from them that are very high quality.&nbsp\\; However, some riders had indicated the Dakota was somewhat larger than they needed and could block rear views?&nbsp\\; Other bags with hard sides in some cases lose way too much interior space&nbsp\\;with these walls although the walls could be removed.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; But then, why pay for them to begin with.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I just wanted a large trunk bag to carry wet-weather gear, extra jacket for the wife, some shoes, etc.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; And, the SAC product (private labeler for Harley) was the least expensive.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Good luck.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; You have many great alternatives.

I just ordered and received this drybag and it's outstanding for the price and about the same size as the Tbags and a WHOLE lot less!

Take a look at the Nelson Rigg GWR 1000. About the same size as the T-Bag Dekker Supreme for about 1/2 the cost. Comes with nice waterproof slip on cover.

I also use the Nelson Rigg GWR 1000. A really great bag and at an excellent price. You get more for your money w/ the N.R. bag....

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I've been lookin at bags too. For now I use this ole bag I got from Marlboro as a promotion, one nice thing it has is small zippered pouches on each side. We use them for soft coolers to carry water bottles when it really hot. I think I saw a T bag with this feature.
