JC,

That's the same bag I have and in all the years I've had it I have not found one that suits me better. I got it in 1997 and in the time I have had that one rack bag, I have had three Ultras.

Mark

I've had the Deker Supreme, Kuryakn Gran Tourer and several others mentioned.  They all have nice features.....one even had a handle and wheels.

But riding long distances I quickly learned a couple of things......I pack so much of the creature comforts that I need the lightest bag possible.  I also sometimes buy odd shaped things and the luggage that has a shape or form type frame just makes anything other than clothes hard to pack.  

I just keep going back to the first tour pack bag model that I first bought maybe fifteen years ago.  This is my second one of that model.  It is water resistant (I think one corner my clothes got damp in a really driving rain that I got stuck in for hours) and the great thing is that the bottom has a zipper that goes all the way around and it actually expands another 3" taller than what you see in this pic.

An added safety feature......it has a large reflective strip that goes all the way across the back so you can't be missed at night.  It has four very large (wide) velcro straps plus an adjustable strap that I loop through the tour pack rack before fastening, just as an added safety feature. :2vrolijk_21:

JC, you forgot one key piece of information.... what is it? I think I am leaning towards the Road Ready, buy yours looks similar to it as well.

It's the Harley Davidson Expandable Tour Pack Luggage Rack Bag #91753-92.  Good luck in finding one, they're obsolete.....you'll have to have your dealership do a dealership search to find one in your area.

Just found this and it looks like the same thing but it's for sale by somebody other than HD.  Maybe this is who made them for HD? :nixweiss:

They're a lot cheaper than the HD was selling them for.  I think I paid $125 for mine and I had to drive to a dealership 80 miles away (past three other dealerships) to the only one that had one left.

My first one lasted for years and years and they're pretty rugged, take lots of abuse, bad weather, etc.  Having had just about all the other fancy tour pack top bags, this is the one I'd get if I had it to do over again.

You'll notice in my most recent ride report (Gold Point), it's the one I have on my bike. :2vrolijk_21:

Hey cool, thanks JC. So if I read right, it has a wide velco strap at each corner to fasten? Any problems with rubbing on the paint etc? I like the fact that it expands. I actually borrowed one like it (maybe the same) and as the trip went on I was able to open it up for more room. The problem with that one was I ended up with rub marks (can't remember from what).

This is the bag from ebay, it is a copy, they say that they didn't make it for HD, although they offer a 5 year replacement warranty.

No rub marks from mine and that's after years of use on two different bikes.  Be sure the shoulder strap is secured across the top and under the velcro flap.  That's the only thing that I can think of that might be loose enough to rub.  The velcro corner straps are very wide and plenty long enough to secure it tightly no matter what the load.

I try to put all the heavy stuff (blow dryer, curling iron, etc.) down in the saddle bags and just put clothes in the top bag.

Note....the white stripe across the back is 3M reflectorized so it's a huge safety feature when you have to stop on the side of the road after dark.  Even when your tour pack is open (it's up and down then), it lights up pretty well. :2vrolijk_21:

Will this HD Bag PN :93300006  fit the air wing rack on a 2009 FLHTCUSE4.  Seems all the videos and pictures that I have seen show them on an older style rack.  Haven't seen anything that shows them on a later model Harley with the air wing rack.

The latest offerings from Harley are very nice, they fit the racks and they have the reflective piping that helps at night. Also available @ 20% off from several dealers.

Went to Whistle Works, bought the medium sized "duffel" bag, $9.99, extremely high quality.  Holds a lot.   I just hate giving the MOCO or any other company, hundreds of dollars for a bag/case that costs the supplier $20 from China.
