Any suggestions on what the best (large) piece of luggage is to mount on the tour pack rack?

I would recommend this one. I use it as my main luggage on my lil springer. Has wheels and a handle so ya dont have to carry it to you lodgings

I have the Kuryakin above. Great bag.

Also have this one from HD. It's smaller but fits the tour pack on the CVO's perfectly:

I use the HD bag on my bike, keep in mind when you are looking at size that that rack bolts directly to plastic so don't exceed the 10lb weight limit by too much.

Have the same bag...nice bag, and is not too big so you're not temped to overload the rack. These are also nice bags...had one on my '06 SEUC and was very pleased with it: http://www.roadreadybags.com/products/touringrackbags.html

The large one is pretty big, but if you keep lighter things in it, not a problem. I had the medium, and it worked nicely for overflow on extended (more than 5 days) trips. The owners of the company are very nice, and will give CVO members a discount if you ask for it. They are also waterproof without having to use a rain cover, which is a huge plus.

I have the Harley bag mentioned earlier. Worked great recently with our extended 8 day trip.

kraut · « **Reply #9 on:** June 29, 2011, 05:07:40 AM »

so do I - I like the fact it's a smaller bag and will not be overloaded so easily

The wife and I started to go on long rides a couple years ago, where she would ride on the back of the seeg. This changed my bag packing strategy for sure. I also like the HD bag, I thought there were two styles but I only see one one on the HD website now. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448777032&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302491575&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302491575&locale=en_US&bmUID=1309365156041&bmLocale=en_US

As mentioned its not as big as the T-bag but I think its the best looking bag and its laid out perfectly like a suitcase. We pack all our day to day stuff when on long trips, this gives us the ability to drive till we drop finding a motel on the gps the just taking this one bag off the bike leaving everything else locked, sure makes it easier for us.

Last year we picked up the "Saddlemen Bagger Chaps" looking for a place to put our raingear wanting to give us more room for our cloths. Haven't used them yet but I think we will have more room than ever now. http://www.saddlemen.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=512_571&products_id=7267&zenid=0f11551e23ade00171b6467eacd0bad3

Reo...on the HD bag, they changed it up a little bit from the original version...for a little while, there were two versions available (may still be)...they're really the same bag. The older version came with the shoulder strap, I think, where the new version does not. The new one has an improved handle (softer) and is about $30 cheaper.

x2 - the cover for it sucks, ripped on my first trip but it doubles as a great airline carry-on with the wheels. Heck of a lot of storage too, gone on 9day, 8night trip with this one.

I thought the handle looked different in the picture. I do like the shoulder strap on mine seeing how when we pull in on long trips I'm usually too tired to hold it when walking into the motel usually using the strap.

The only thing I have to say thats disappointing with this bag is that the rain cover is too big and flaps in the wind. The T-bag I had used in the past fit like a glove and did not flap.....just saying.

Without a doubt the best tour pack bag I have found is the Iron Rider MLS-MB Main Bag. It fits perfectly on the luggage rack provided on the CVO Ultra and connects to the rack with 4 simple straps. It can be removed in seconds and has a good rain cover and usefull side pockets and extensions.

MUFFMAN · « **Reply #16 on:** June 30, 2011, 07:24:30 AM »

One thing about the Road Ready bags. They are 100% waterproof and don't need a rain cover.

Sure that's not reversed? I just purchased the $229 version and it has the shoulder strap. I thought it was the newer one.

That's the "older" version...apparently, that one is still available, along with the newer style. Odd...the new one doesn't mention the rain cover, but it has one.

The only difference I can see is the new one has a different handle and does not come standard with the shoulder strap. The Premium Shoulder Strap is available for the new one for $14.95 and fit's other Premium luggage. So, you save $15 or so getting the new version bag and buying the shoulder strap seperately. I ordered the "new" one from Zannoti's at a 20% discount, but did not get the strap. Leave it to HD to confuse things...

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.
