Default Backrest bag for road king

I'm looking for a good quality bag that will fit over the HUGE passenger backrest pad on the RKC. I've had a Super T-bag in the past and really liked it but I'm not even sure it would go over the backrest pad. I would like to find that size or bigger and that quality. Any thoughts?

I have a T-Bags Dekker Supreme for a HD tour pack right now but can't use it without the tour pack.

I have a Saddlemen S3500 that fits my 14" wide backrest perfectly.

The side opening design and multiple pockets inside and out is a huge bonus.

So far,I REALLY like it!!

My Super T-Bag fits my large/huge pad, no problem. Also see your RK is a RKC and they make 3 different sizes of pads for the backrest on the RKC if you don't like the HUGE one.

Can you use a set of these passenger hand rails to strap down your T-bag to?

I don't think my stock passenger seat has enough flat area to hold it steady. Thats a thought though, as I sure like the bag.

Go to the T-Bags website, they make lots of bags with the universal pouch to fit all sizes of backrest pads.

I have the Sac / Cool Sac combo, best money I ever spent on bike luggage. Light weight durable and of course rain proof. That was a huge concern for me as I get into many storms on my rides. The cool Sac has an insert to put ice into which is great for those long rides when you just need a cold adult beverage.

By the way it has a pouch that is custom fit for the back rest. The web site will ask you for your back rest measurments and you are good to go. No worries about fit or function.
