Sport Bike tail bags for rig: opinions?

[GrumpySmurf 0]

Anyone try finding a tail bag to toss thier rig in when wandering to and fro the DZ on thier bike? The saddle bags got enough room for everything else, just need to find a decent sized tailbag for the Javelin J3.

Want to keep the rig off the back, with or without a gear bag - any kind of weight on the back is not a good thing for long rides.

Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I had a GIVI hard tail bag on my Katana 1100 and I have the same bag on my K1200RS. I can get both my 143/150 Wings rigs in it.

It's a bag that looks good enough to have on a sport bike, locks and is very, very secure. The rack by itself doesn't look bad either.

I guess there's always bungies and duct tape for holding down the hard luggage?

I thought you had the 620 Super Sport?

"I thought you had the 620 Super Sport?"

Yup. They (the S and SS line) all share the same frame and layout - just different displacements and minor options. So if it'll fit the older 750 and 900, odds are it'll fit the 620 S, 800 SS and 1000 SS.

Though the 620 is just a Sport, not a Super Sport. Got stuck riding on back of a co-workers Yammer a few weeks back, the bejezuz thing was freakin' fast, though I think that might have alot to do with the female driving it. Now thinking, need more speed, now thinking 749 sounds like not such a bad idea.
More and Faster, eh?

Halmark, Givi and Gearsack all have racking system that would look fine on an SS Duck.

I have a Cafe'd Guzzi with no rack and would like to have a nice low profie one too
