Laughing My A-- Off.  You should see the weather here in Pittsburgh right now.  Cars are stuck on flat roads.  I figured you were posting some more.  That bag looks real nice on there.  It looks like a good fit.

I think what you are referring to is the black rectangle in the middle of the side view -  that is the pull up handle when you want to use it as regular wheeled luggage,

Does that part sit down against the lower section of the rack?  I would think that if it does, it would give extra stability to the bag mounting on there.

I really appreciate the photos.  That looks great on there.  It reminded me that I have a piece of luggage here with wheels and pullout handle that looks just like that, but I just went and looked at it and of course, there are no "D" rings on it.  After seeing it on the bike, I'm having doubts that the ones from T-bag will fit.  I think they will be too big for that rack, so I'll probably go with the same one you have there.  Thanks.

It's about 20 degrees and still snowing here, so believe me, I feel your pain.

Yes it kind of sits in the middle of the rack and on each outside rail.  Its stable though - never had an issue.

Lets hope for warmer weather sooN!

Cheers!

I'm thinking that worst case scenario is that it doesn't sit the entire way down onto the bottom of the rack, I can always put something under there to cushion it and take up the extra space...like one t-shirt in a flat bag or something.  I would think that would give it total stability, but it sounds like you aren't having any problems with it the way it is.  It sounds good to me.  I'll get a look at one in person this weekend if they have them at the bike show or I have a local place that will either have them or get me one to try.  They will give me 20% off on Kuryakyn, so I doubt I'll do much better than that.

Well, I finally, after spending in inordinate amount of time, decided on a piece of luggage to go on the rack.  I based my decision on the fact that out of the possible choices I had narrowed it down to, I was only able to find one to actually try on my bike to check out how it fit.  The T-Bag Dekker Supreme fits and secures well, and the removal side and bottom supports allow it to conform to the shape of the rack by just removing the bottom support only.  I'm glad one of the guys in my HOG chapter happened to own one of these, so I was able to ride out to his house and try it.  Other than that, I could not find any place that stocks any of the bigger bags to check out, and the Int'l Bike Show in Cleveland was an unmanned display of bags tied to the display.  I couldn't try them there, and Kuryakyn did not have a presence at the show.  Thanks for all the help everyone.  I've got my bag on order and it should be here later this week.

So, where you going?

So, where you going?

Isn't the Boy Scout credo, Be Prepared?  I don't know...maybe Franklin, TN.  The only trips I have planned for now are the York CVO Factory Tour, hoping to make the Eureka Springs CVO event, a ride down to the Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburgh, etc.  One of my HOG chapters has a 4 day ride scheduled to somewhere in Indiana.    The other HOG chapter tries to schedule several 2, 3 , and 4 day rides for the year, and I'll be at the ride committee meeting this Sunday to put together that calendar and figure out where we are going.  Probably go to Ocean City, MD for DelMar Bike Week.  Maybe a few days at Ohio Bike Week.  After Sunday, I'm planning on putting together my own calendar to figure out when I don't have scheduled so I can determine where else I can go and when.

At this point, I just want to get everything completed on my bike, including dyno time, but I just found out yesterday that one of the parts I ordered is on backorder for 4 more weeks.  I've got about 900 miles on now, so as soon as that part arrives, I'm dropping off the bike at the dealer to get it finished for this year.  I should have it all together in pleny of time for the warmer weather to hit here.
