View Full Version : Ideas on bag for rear luggage rack?
I'm looking for ideas on a bag that could be attached to the rear fender luggage rack on a 60/2.
I've poke around and don't see anything in particular and haven't run across any pictures showing anything.
Thanks for any help.

I saw some things at Aerostich (http://www.aerostich.com) that looked like it might work on my /2. I ended up mounting some Bates hard bags I had and then cut a piece of plywood to bolt to the fender rack. Then I just bungeed my tent, sleeping bag, etc., to the plywood. This was just a temporary installation for a one-time trip.

:wave Have I got a bag for you :)
If you need 100% waterproof at the cost of a minor hassle for getting into the bag the Kriega US10 will do the job. Looks like this when empty.

A slightly larger bag that is easier to get into and looks a bit better is an old RKA 16L rear seat bag. Here it is on the back of my R69S. Ignore the GS in the background.

As I said above, have I got a bag for you. The RKA bag is gathering dust, waiting for a good home. If it interests you let me know. Detailed pictures of the bag at http://www.snafu.org/forsale/rka.html
Thanks. I had thought I would want waterproof for sure but I have some small zippered waterproof sacks that I could put inside a non-waterproof option for sensitive items. Let me do some thinkin'.
Which tank bag is that on your R69?
Thanks.
