Default Backrack and overnight bag combo
What do you guys with the RK's and SG's use for a back rack and bag combo when you travel with the wife? I took the hit on the detachable back rack.

Now I would like a good bag to use with it but hate to drop $120 on the custom fit overnight bag from the MoCo, if there is something that works well for less. I like the fact that it secures over the passenger backrest though....

You could take your pick from any of the dry sacks here and cinch them in place with something like these cargo straps. Or maybe something like these.

I use a T-Bag that has a mounting loop that fits over the backrest. Stable and works well.

I use the Kuryakyn Gran Tour Bag. Lotsa room.

That is a nice looking rack. They didn't have that when I bought mine last year but I never have mine on unless I have traveling with luggage. I have the Kury Grand tour bag as well. Very impressive bag......storage and quality.

T-Bag Sturgis is still made in the USA if you happen to care about that stuff. The Kuryakyn's are all imported if I remember correctly.

I like Nelson Riggs, but Kuryakyn and T-Bag also have a great product.
