I use the BMW small softbag on my gs luggage rack and it works well..just took it off and put it in space b/t rider seat and rack...could work there also...worth a try...its a well made bag and price isn't bad.

 

Thanks for the advice Graham, ill have a look.

I like my Touratech bag. Side opening and rollup closure and really waterproof. Perhaps a bit big (size and price?) for what you want?

Looks a bit too big for what I want Ken but thanks for the reply...

I've a touratech rear seat/deck bag in place of the rear saddle on my GS. The same bag can go on top of the saddle, too. Pictures and mount details at R1200GS: Touratech read seat/tail bag

The cardboard divider I made for camera gear went away a long time ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time but just got in the way.

 

Thanks for the reply matey...

 

I've used an Ortlieb bag, and a Motofizz medium in the past, but just switched over to the Kriega system for this year. I think I'm going to like it a lot!

 

Tail Bag

I ordered and installed an OGIO tail bag.

Sorry about the sideways pic's but you get the idea.

I went to HomeDepot and got two packs of 27" X 1" velcro which had two strips each, four total. I used three and have one spare.

I could move it further back if I wanted to but it does not bother me where its at.

Its not the biggest bag in the world, but I didn't want big. Its hold a full rainsuit, a spare shirt, and a bunch of my paperwork.

Without the raincoat, it could hold a laptop and other stuff.

Ogio Stealth

I just ordered this bag,

Ogio Stealth

It arrives 4/12/2013, I'll post after I put it on with comments and thoughts.

Regards,

Now that looks the nuts...

 

I've only used it once so far, but I was pretty happy with the universal helmet bag from Pirate's Lair that fits over the stealth backrest (which has been used many times and which my wife loves).

I have the verio top box so can add the back rest that BMW supply... I like the idea of the Ogio Stealth tail bag. Ill have to to some research to see who sells them in the UK...

 

I have a jesse 45l topbox mounted where the rear seat would be.

 

Went to the local Army-Navy surplus store and bought a Tex-Sport duffle made out of screaming yellow vinyl for about $30. I remove the pillion seat and lash it back there for long trips and it's kept my sleeping bag, bivy, and Hennessy hammock dry through several downpours.

To get on/off the bike, I have to John Wayne it and use the left footpeg like a stirrup as I cannot clear the duffle otherwise due being as flexible as a warped 2 X 4.
