The Dekker is big, but looks easy on and off which makes a difference. We have the Kuryakyn bag which is a pain to put on and take off and it is heavy before you put anything in it, however very good quality. Oh well trailer next year. Good luck in your choice.

Thanks Terry! Will the Dekker fit the Countoured rack on a KTP OK? I have 12.5" from the rear of the backreast to the rear of the rack. Like I said, I don't mind overhang. Just wanna make sure it works. I like the Dekker. Not locked into any of these. It sounds like I'd go with the TB Dekker before the Kury GranTraveler Bag based on your comment. Just want to make sure the Dekker will mount OK. Thanks man.

Hoist!

Howie, what are you doing, running away from home?

I'll go ahead and throw this out there, Howie, despite your desire to remain "bungiless."  You have the same TP rack as me.  You saw the TP rack bag with which Renea traveled last week.  The bag is designed for the KTP rack, BUT it can be made to fit the smaller TP rack without modification.  I use the the two front velcro strap attachments, loop the shoulder strap through the rear of the rack and secure the entire bag with three bungies.  Works great cross country, and doesn't present a Clampit appearance.............unless you secure a bottle of 18 year old scotch to the top of the heap.  Just my .03.

I wouldn't type anything here, that I wouldn't say to your face.

I know I'm a simple minded country boy...BUT...Why don't you just ship a big bag to my house? When you're ready to head home, we'll ship it back. Then you'll only need 2-3 days of clothes on the bike.

I like to be self contained. I'd be using this bag for 2.5 weeks on a Sturgis trip too. So might as well get it now. Get it and forget it!

Thanks Bob. That was the first one I looked at because I remember Terry talking about it and setting the deal up. But I wanted to go bigger. That one's not big enough for my needs.

Hey gang, I need some help.

Finally coming to your senses, EH?

I have the Dekker Supreme. Nice bag, good size and it has about 1.5 inches of foam padding all around, that is why it has that nice shape you see in the pictures. But all that foam does take up some room. Take the foam our and you can pack a lot more.

I got the bag for Deb when she flew to TN to meet me, found out it is awkward to carry for any distance with it packed.

Keep in mind, get the biggest bag, load it up and you will feel a significant difference in the way the bike feels and handles. The CoG jumps up quite a bit.

Personally I was thinking about my next bag having wheels like the Dekker roller, but it is big, and if you have the TP spoiler it hits (mentioned on their website).

You said 2.5 weeks for Sturgis. Is Binx going?

If you are traveling solo I would consider the back seat bag

Doubles as a back rest.
