I am looking for a piece of luggage that will mount on the seat of my EG and also serve as a back rest. A search online produced two possibilities:

Kuryakyn Full Dresser Bag http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=harley&ci=2289

T-bag Backseat Bag http://www.tbags.com/detail.aspx?ID=3&SelectedCat=4

Anybody have any experience with either of these?

 

No help to you Swamp Fox... I will keep tabs with your post to see what you go with as it will be of interest also. From the two choices you posted, I sort of lean towards the second T-Bag, better price, better material (?), and I like the construction...

 

Kuryakyn Grantour bag.

 

There are many different bags out there for the choosing. I, personally, have used T-Bag brand for many years. However, Kuryakyn has come out with a very nice bag that a bit stiffer and looks more like a luggage, than a soft bag. It's pretty spacious too.

You may want to also consider how much space you will need in the bag you choose. For me, I bought my bag to pack about 2-3 days worth of clothes. I've seen bigger, but that will only lead you to pack more stuff you may not need.

Good Luck

I have used an expandable T-Bag for years and really like it. I mount it on my passenger seat and use it for a backrest. If riding two-up just turn it around and sit it on the luggage rack. Either way it slips over the passenger backrest for more stable attachment. I travel for weeks at a time with this setup.

 

I have the Full Dresser bag and it works great on the luggage rack but it has a hard plastic inside that your back will hit if you try to turn it around and use it as a backrest.

 

Look at a SAC product. I've had one since 1993. Fantastic customer service (rare these days). I called them when I changed bikes, and the pocket wouldn't fit the new sized backrest. They told me they'd change it for no charge, just send it to them. Well, I did, and they sent me back a new, improved model...no charge. Changed Harley's again. Same thing, but this time they did change the pocket...no charge. These things are water-tight and durable.....and a great buy.

 

Thanks for the tip Bareback, that’s what I was looking for. I like the looks of that bag the best, but would want to use it on the seat most of the time.

 

We use SAC. Have been very satisfied with the quality and function.

Regards,

I think my local dealer has these in stock, so will take a look at them. I have a SAC roll bag that I used on my Sportster and it worked well.
