Default sissy bar tour bag suggestions!

I'm lookin at buyin a sissy bar tour bag for the SG and have narrowed it down to two. Either the saddlemen 3500 or the T-bags universal expandable. Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about either of these? I'm likin the price of the saddlemen but i live by the motto "you get what you pay for!". Or if anybody has any other bag that they can suggests let me know! Thanks in advance.

I have a tbags universal with roll on the top. Great bag. Used on a sportster for years then got the street glide in 2009 and still use it. Did finally replace the rain cover last year. I think I got it in 2004.

I have an 08 SG and we use the Kuryakyn Full Dresser bag. It's great because it's expandable - big enough for a long weekend for both of us and compresses to an overnight for one.

Default Take a look at this one...

I like the Kuryakyn Ultra Tour Bag. It's expandible, holds everything, has lots of tie down points, a top center carry handle and rain covers. http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/696/Ultra-Tour-Bag. Watch the YouTube installation video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42_Aypv7K4k

Tourmaster here too. Their Cruiser III line is pretty damned good.

Still want the Kuryakyn Gran Tailgater, but the passenger says its too big...imagine that...a woman saying she has too much room to pack stuff in...
