Really depends on what you plan to use it for. I've got different sizes depending on what I'm doing. Day rides, I've got a smaller one. Day rides where I want to carry more than the basics, like a drone, and other things, I've got a medium/large one, for traveling I've got nice large one...

Looks like Wolfman Luggage no longer makes the tail bag I use. But it is the only piece of luggage I've had over the years.
My big day bag is a Kuryakyn Xkursion XS Steward Roll Bag
My Travel bag is a Mosko Moto Back Country 40L Duffel

 

I have an older Wolfman Peak Tailbag, the non-waterproof version that I use most of the time. It looks like it has since been replaced with a waterproof version called the Peak-WP. It holds everything I need for a day trip including lunch and snacks. It can either be stapped to the seat using included gutter hooks or to the grab rails so it worked just as well on my KTM 690 Enduro as it does in the Africa Twin.

I have a larger expandable Cortech bag I sometimes use for 2-3 day trips when when I need something bigger than the Wolfman, but smaller than a duffle. But I rarely use it

Even decades after, I never understood why tank and saddle bags weren't by default water-resistant.

So here we are, 2020 ... twenty (actually, 21) years into the 21st century and few by default water-resistant tank bags exist.

" ... we have the technology."






Seriously folks:

• We can land spacecraft on comets,
• We can return and land spent rockets to bulls-eyes on the ocean,
• We can create virtual currency,

... but it is trying to get a water-resistant tank bag.

If I had to guess I think largely it comes down to price due to what it takes to actually make the bag water proof. Waterproof zippers, radio frequency welded seams, waterproof TPU laminate and the price of the Peak Tailbag jumped from $125 to $165 for the Peak-WP. I paid $84 for my Peak after it was discontinued.

Also sometimes (particularly with tank bags) they tend to be a bit stiff and ridged, which if you are standing and they are digging into your crotch it isn't ideal.

But that said, they do seem to be becoming more the norm as production costs drop it seems.

i just put a nelson riggs on mine - went with the smaller one as its just for my daily carry stuff and I want to be able to swing my leg over - mounted it to a AltRider rack that replaces the rear seat and allows the bag to sit a bit lower although it mounted to the rear seat fine without it

happy with it - good price point, holds shape, etc

How do you like the Altrider pillion plate? Any negatives?

 

I'm using the Mosko Moto 30L tail bag. Works awesome, carries everything I need to camp for a whole weekend. It is well thought out and durable. Love the beaver tail function.

 

Cool.

But, I'd rather be home brewing.

 

Enduristan Tail Pack. Waterproof, it has 4 hooks which attach precisely on the OE rear rack. About 8 litres of capacity.

 

Thanks for the input Lads, just need a small or medium bag. OGIO TAIL BAG and the Dainese DTAIL stealth bag, look like they could do the job.

 

I use the DrySpec D38 Rigid Drybag (DrySpec D38 Rigid Drybag - RevZilla) on my 2019 ATAS. Great for running to the grocery store. For longer hauls through the CO mountains, I added the D28 bag.

 

Nelson rigg. Not sure what model but it's from ~08ish. It'll expand up, and put. Compressed like it is, the main compartment can hold my cortech vrx air riding pants and cortech vrx 2 air mesh jacket, and gloves. I can slide it forward to use as a backrest if I so choose.

Honda top case. It'll hold my jacket and helmet. Its also a backrest for the copilot.

They're both easy on/off.

 

I looked around for a long time and ended up going for the Oxford T40R. I’ve got it mounted to an Altrider rear plate. I’m very happy with it. Good size but small enough to leave on the bike most of the time. It zips off it’s base so you don’t need to strap it on everytime you remove it. Zipping it back on to the base is a bit fiddly though.

 

Chaz.
I bought one of these from GetGeared. Not waterproof but comes with a cover for the very odd occasion it rains here in Blighty.
Really impressed with it. Waterproofs, a few tools etc in the small configuration, loads more for a day out in the large config.

I use the SW-Motech Urban bag. I like that it can expand if required. https://sw-motech.com/en/bike/HONDA...F1000L/2019/SD06/products/luggage/top+case/URBAN+ABS+top+case/4052572056813.htm
