Default Sissy Bar Luggage

Opinions please. Looking for a medium to large sissy bar bag. Best bag for the buck. Right now it "seems" to me to be the Kuryakyn Ultra Tour Bag. Anybody got other suggestions I should look into?

Thanks.

I've put a few thousand miles on this one

So far I'm impressed with the functionality and durability.

All of the extra pockets really come in handy.

Being able to access the contents wile it strapped on is a huge plus!

I think I paid $175 at Dennis Kirk so you might shop around.

This is the bag we used when we had the fat boy bike. We used this in all kinds of weather conditions and its got lots of pockets. I highly recommend this bag for touring or just weekend trips.

This will be my next purchase... Made in the USA and waterproof without a cover... Roll pack works with a sleeve over the sissybar if you want to use without the main pack...

I just went through the same process and decided on this one. Haven't taken it out yet, but it fits nice on the bike between sissy bar and rider backrest. Will get a 10 day test next month.

Big Barn Harley in Des Moines was selling them for 25% off.

I use the Kuryakyn on my rear luggage rack and the T-BAG on my sissy bar as a back rest. Both work great!

I bought an Ultra tour recently with 20% off and paid right at a bill for it. I used a Harley bag that was discountinued and smaller in storage space in the spring. It fit everything perfectly. I tried the Ultra on the bike and with the same stuff we brought on the spring trip, the Ultra had space left over. It also has the d-rings to clip on other bags if necessary. It is relatively easy to strap down since it wraps around the backrest and easy clips to the luggage rack. I highly recommend the Ultra.

Of course everyone has an opinion about this, it's kinda like exhausts.....so look 'em all over and then try to get the best deal for what you want. It did help to buy it locally so that I could come home, try to pack like I would for a trip and see if everything fit into the bag. Once that was accomplished I knew that I had the right bag.

Also, if you need additional straps for holding stuff down
