I would appreciate suggestions for travel bags that can strap to the rack on each hardbag lid.&nbsp\\; I know I have seen them before, but can't seem to find who makes them.&nbsp\\;

Thanks.

 

Ridetek Lid Haulers

Available through distributors like Drag, etc. also.

 

Bags for the saddlebag lids, T-Bag for top of tour pack, pulling a trailer..... hey Rick you taking the mother-n-law with you too !!!

 

LOL I know.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Actually we are weighing whether to use the trailer, or pack as much as we can and go without it.&nbsp\\; The more we think about it, the more we feel we can pack smart and not need the trailer.&nbsp\\;

 

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Use a trailer, my wife and I have one and LOVE it.. It really lightens up the bikes, we both ride our own..
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Just because you have the trailer doesn't mean you HAVE to load it to the brim every time you go out. we will tow it even on short 3 day ventures, as it is so useful for leathers, helmets, cold drinks..we live in Colorado, so the bikes always have rain gear and the essentials packed at all times..

I purchased one of these off Ebay (DEKKER NELSON RIGG SUPREME FIT TOUR-PAK BAG) about a year ago and its the best trunk lid bag that I have ever owned. Really spacious and retains its shape because of the foam walls. You will not be dissapointed with this bag.

 

I run lid haulers on my bags when I travel. You can use any type of stuff bag with them I would think but&nbsp\\;I use them for my leather when it's hot or I roll my rain gear up on em. Stuff like that,. They're really useful.

 

Pack light and use a laundry!

 

I haven't tried this yet myself, but an old biker once shared&nbsp\\;one of the many secrets of long road trips...
&nbsp\\;
pack the oldest t-shirts you have, after you wear one, throw it away and buy a new t-shirt at one of the many places you stop.&nbsp\\; This avoids laundry stops and you get rid of all those old t-shirts.

 

&nbsp\\;
The other side of that coin is a $3.00 wash every 5th day (if packing the ol'lady) or once a week is a lot cheaper than those POS free advertising Harley shirts!
