Tour pack luggage
« on: July 21, 2017, 12:08:50 PM »

I have the HD premium tour pack luggage, like it but too small, I want something that holds weeks worth of clothes and laptop and toiletry kit.

Looking at the T-Bags Daytona
http://tbags.com/tour-pak-truck/daytona-cargo-bag.html

or the Iron Rider Quest by Dowco
https://www.amazon.com/Iron-Rider-Dowco-Motorcycle-Reflective/dp/B00XRH3CXU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1500652717&sr=8-11&keywords=dowco

Anyone have any experience with either of these bags or any other I may not have looked at? The two above expand to 3800 CI and 3550 CI respectively. That pretty large.

Thank on advance

G'day Glenncarp,

If you already have a tourpack it may be worth getting a back seat bag to keep the weight more towards your center of gravity. Generally the more you load up high on your bike the more handling & stability is affected.

Also consider how much you need to cart around with you & go with low weight options. Another good option is to put your clothes in roll up vacuum bags so they take up less space. We get them from Walmart for around 15 bucks.

Cheers Tom

We have the T-Bag Dakota and like it. The ends zip off to use as mini backpacks if you desire.

Like idea of back seat bag. Only issue I see is back blocking sound of rear speakers.

You could try using a cooler (esky in Australian). I have a hd one that sits nicely on the back seat and does not obstruct speakers. If I needed to cart more I just put a little cargo net on top. Works like a charm.

Bonus is it can be used to keep beer cold when you are not riding. Mine does not get much use on the bike nowadays as Miss Lenda is normally perched there.

I also have two - the medium and the large. Very well made and VERY moderately priced. And waterproof to boot. No cover needed. Big thumbs up for them.

 :2vrolijk_21: Bought these because they were recommended on this forum & very pleased with quality.  They hold up very well over time, have a lifetime warranty, never had to use it.  Both have been on top of tour packs and on the passenger seat, depending on BSR/no BSR.

If your going to be gone for weeks that would indicate daily riding and noise,  I would seriously consider my hearing very important. Try a set of ear plugs, maybe if you are into the sound get a set with the speakers built in. You will appreciate it when you get old.

No offense folks, this ain't my first rodeo, ridden form Fl to Sturgis and form NJ to Fl and every summer from Fl to NC/TN. Issue is on this trip, I will need a bigger, or secondary piece of luggage for auto train. I am now leaning towards back seat piece as Major Tom suggested, sorry, I cant do a cooler, I have a reputation to uphold. Lol. Just need a bag I and remove from the bike to keep change of clothes, toiletries and CPAP machine in so I don't keep entire train awake.

Been using the T-Bag with the rollers on it and really like it. Makes it easy to get to bike to room and back.
