Question Need Help finding Luggage Bag???
I'm trying to locate a luggage bag for my neighbor who is just getting started into motorcycling. I saw one once that I thought would be ideal for his application. It's a bucket like unit covered in naugahyde with a zipper around the lid to open it up and put in your stuff. I thought it also had a pad for a backrest for the rider as the luggage bag itself attached to sissy bar and sits on the passenger seat horizontally. He rides solo and wanted storage, and a backrest. Any assistance certainly would be appreciated.

I have the Saddlemen.....this one works GREAT....hooks on the sissy bar, and has a pad that is velcroed on....allows it to be used as a backrest. There are two sizes...this one (the larger one) and a smaller one. I use this all the time.

Thanks for the link. What I'm actually looking for isn't quite that elaborate. It's basically just a bucket, covered with naugahyde, and a velcro type back rest that attaches as it lays on the back seat. He's not quite 5' tall, and he just has a little motorcycle with a small back rest. Thanks.

I believe you are looking for is a "Biker's Friend". Several different sizes. I used an XL version on my Fatboy when I went on a couple of long rides.

I've been looking at this every day for a week now. Wish I could find a local dealer to check the fitting. Intriguing.

I like saddlemen as well. Wish I had never sold the bag I had now that I've taken the tourpak off my Ultra. Very high quality and lots of options.
