JamesE Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sorry dont know if this is the right section or not, but I'm looking for a tail pack that i would be able to pack about a day's worth of supplies. Such as a change of clothes, tooth brush, small shampoo and shower gel, stuff like that. Looking to spend a lil less than $100. I ride a 97 gsxr 750, i plan on using the rear seat versus the cowl to put the pack on of course. let me know what you guys come up with. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have thecycleguys.com Fast-Pack which fits beautifully over my solo rear seat. I can fit an an entire change of clothes plus shoes in there. Get compliments on it whereever I go, I highly recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hue jass Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Check out the Tourmaster/Cortech Sport Tailbag. The sides zip to expand and it can hold a lot of stuff - if it's compactable stuff.You can get add-on side bags, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 FYI If you go to Iron Pony you can try them out on your bike before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesE Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 hm i think the cortech pack is winning so far, i like the way it looks whats the size difference and the durability difference versus the fast-pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 hm i think the cortech pack is winning so far, i like the way it looks whats the size difference and the durability difference versus the fast-pack?the main difference for me with the fast pack and the cortech is I don't really seem myself taking a trip on the bike that I'll need more than I can fit in my backpack. That being said I like the fast pack for its versatility of always having it there for if I'm out and randomly decide to pick up some food or something from the store and not have my backpack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell you, but it (the Fastpack) seems well made. Cortech/Tourmaster stuff is always well made, too.Size/capacity: 8 liters (Fastpack expanded), 16/18 for the Cortech (normal/expanded).What sold me on the Fastpack was that when not in use it zips down to nearly nothing, whereas the Cortech is 8.5" tall.

If I get the hankerin' for Chipotle (as happens frequently), I have the freedom to stop and get whatever, toss it in the fastpack and go. get home, zip it back flat, and it's back to seat mode. Easy peasy to get my leg over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, with the elastic band around the seat AND the velcro braces diagonally underneath it, I'd trust it enough to sit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 So I just bought a set of the coretech saddle bags today.129 at iron pony. I installed them they look good. The thing I like most about them is I can still ride with a passenger since they secure under the seat. I also grabbed a pair of frog toggs pants for my girlfriend. Got my free shirt too.

Uncle Punk Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 http://www.ventura-bike.com/imagedetail.aspx?model=566You can also attach two bags together and have lots of storage for trips or taking the baby for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I cheaped out. I use a jansport backpack with the straps shortened all the way, and a net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
