tailbags

Post by DK »

I've been looking into a tailbag and ran across this company...

http://www.rka-luggage.com/

Has anyone ever used any of these? They seem to be nice and reasonably priced.

Thanks,

Dwayne

Dwayne,

I have one of their expandable tail bags. It's a well designed bag. The company is owned by riders and their customer support is top notch. I'm sure others on the board will chime in with agreement.

Ditto.

I have their magnetic tankbag that I have used for various bike including my R1150R and their mini tail bag for my CBR600RR. The quality is top notch, the bags holds their shape even when empty.

I used a Marsee 22 litre tail bag. Pretty rugged. Comes with a rain cover. Reflective piping and the liner hadles spills quite well.

I also like this model because it secures with nylon straps/ladder clips as opposed to bungies.

Tooks it across Canada. I'd use Marsee products again

I bought a set of soft luggage from cyclegear with the brand name of "cargo". I later found out eclipse makes these for cyclegear and re-badges them. The tailbag is top notch and always holds it's shape full or empty. It also expands in every direction and will hold a ton of stuff. It is in cyclegear stores and on their website for $95. I sold my tourmaster and marsee luggage after I bought this stuff, it's that good.

When looking for a tail bag..don't rule out a tank bag.

That's what mine is..I just fold the magnetic flaps under and it fits perfect..plus..I can always use it as a tank bag as well.. :D
