Default Touring Bag Question
This is a stupid question, but just wondering if most touring bags that attach to a sissy bar will work resting on the empty passenger's seat, or is a luggage rack absolutely necessary?

Not only will it work. It will provide you a backrest.

I always put mine on the seat and use it for a back rest when going solo, which is usually.

Very cool! I'm in the market for a bag and these look to be real good. Would be nice to hear more from those who may own them.

I have the Kuryakyn Grand Tour Bag that rides on the passenger seat more often than any other location.
