Default What kind of luggage do you use?
Need to get some luggage for a summer vacation ride this year. What do you recommend? Been looking at sissy bar bags. Saddleman and others. Thanks for your input.

I've got a set of H-D soft bags that fit inside of the hard bags on my RKC. I'll soon have a King Tour Pak with a rack on the lid. I will very likely get a soft bags for the inside of the tour pak as well.

I have both a saddleman and a t bags bag, both work really well. I have had both of them in hard rains and neither has leaked. Just choose a good quality brand and enjoy.

Dowco Iron Rider series. They have 5 or 6 bags of different sizes and designs. They will work with a sissy bar or on a rack. With the rain covers on, I have never had a drop of water get into the stuff inside.
