Luggage rack bags - Looking for...?
So hard to tell from catalog pictures...
I have an '08 Street Glide with essentially, the "rider essentials" kit. Medium passenger backrest, Stealth rack, etc.
I'm looking for a bag for it - Nothing too large - Something that would hold a full-face helmet would be too small - But not unbelievably bigger. Expandable (and "modular") wouldn't hurt... Stiff sided would be nice. Nylon, weatherproof, etc. pretty important...
Any particular suggestions?

I'm looking for pretty much the same thing for my Road King. I'm heading down to my dealer later this morning to pick up the HD Multi-Fit Touring Luggage System (part # 94734-09). It includes a medium-large main bag, with several external pockets; and a smaller day bag.

Yep, I wasn't really thinking MoCo, but that particular rig seems great -
As a bonus - As I was borrowing the $225 rig to just see how it fit on the bike, a gent I've seen at the dealer about 3 million times said - "That's a great bag - I've got one from my Road King. Only used it once before I traded for the Ultra - What'd it set you back?"
"Well, I think it's around $225, but after the secret handshake, it'll be a little over $200 - I haven't bought it yet -- Just wanted to see if I was going to have to move my antenna or change my headlight or something goofy."
"Haven't bought it yet?
"Nope."
"I'll give you mine for $150..."
So, I'll be picking up his "used" (literally, one trip) set in a few days.
Last year's model (without the spiffy MoCo logos), but that's what the dealer still has also... And hey, fifty-some bucks is fifty-some bucks. And I'd rather give this fine fellow a few bucks to offset some of his add-ons to his Ultra anyway.

The new HD bags leave off the SAC name but are still made by SAC. However, at SAC they told me that they will not have the lifetime warranty. Then, as an aside, I was told that if I did have any problem with it that they would take care of it. Seems like Harley wanted only their name on it.
