Nice bag.  Saw one at my dealership.  Fits great and is easy on and off.

Here's another bag that fits behind the rider in the passenger seat.  Looks great as I take Long trips as a single.

Has any one actually seen or used this one?

I have a very large Kuryakin bag that fits OK on the rack and OK in the passenger space.


 

I carry a compression bag with me...something like this:  http://www.coleman.com/coleman/ColemanCom/detail.asp?CategoryID=5400&product_id=834-213T  It's just a bag made to put a sleeping bag in.  I found one in black and cut off all of those straps that go around it.  It folds up small enough to fit into a sunglass bag, so I just toss it in the saddlebag as extra storage, should I need it.  I also carry 2 bungee cords to hold it on.  It's a very compact way of keeping an extra bag on your bike.  I've only actually used it once so far.  It got too hot to keep my leather coat and helmet on, so I just put them in the bag, put it on the passenger seat, and strapped it in place.  My bulky jacket, and helmet filled the bag almost half way, so there's a lot of space in these bags.  I think I paid about $5 or $6 for it at Walmart.  It's a pretty handy thing that takes up virtually no space at all and it's very inexpensive.

I can't believe it, but Harley finally came out with a nicer piece of luggage to fit the luggage racks on the newer SEUC's.  http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448773719&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302286945&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302286945&bmUID=1243601192142&bmLocale=en_US  I haven't seen one in person yet, so I don't know if it will work better than what I already have...but at least it looks like they finally have a decent size bag available.

Wonder how this would work on the leather TP?

I think the best way is to actually try one on the bike.  I would assume that something like this the dealer won't mind ordering, if they don't have one in stock.  If you don't like it, they should be able to sell it pretty easily.

The Dekker works the best on the Leather TP, doesn't fit on the 09, the rack is different.

Reply #13 in this post is a pic of the Dekker Supreme on my 09.  It works perfectly.  The Dekker Supreme has removable padded sides, bottom, and top.  Remove the bottom pad and the rear pad, and the bottom and rear of the bag will conform perfectly to the 09 rack.  You can remove the rest of the pads also if you need a bit more space.  If you don't remove the 2 pads I mentioned, it won't fit well at all.  If you do remove them, the bag sits completely flat on the lower portion of the rack and then conforms to the curve and sits perfectly and securely at all points of the base of the bag.  When it's on there, it looks like it was made for that rack.

Now I know it wasn't a sunglass bag, If I remember correctly, it was an old girl friends make up bag

The bag itself was in a sunglass bag.  I had that and the bungee cords inside that other bag...some gals bag that got left behind.  She probably hit the door running and didn't care what she left behind.

I will have to try removing the pads, if that works I don't need a Different. Actually I never thought of trying that.....Thanks

If you are going to use the Dekker Supreme and remove the pads to strap it on there, I have another suggestion before you do it.  On the flat surfaces on the top rear of the rack (above the LED lamp), you should put some of that 3M clear protectant tape...can't think what it's called, but it will keep you from scratching the chrome on there.  This is one of those "don't ask me how I know" things.  When I get a chance, I'll take a few closeup pics to show you what I mean.  I put it on after I already saw the scratching start and the 3M tape has kept it from getting worse.  I wish I had thought of this before I used the bag the first time.

I bought the Tbag back seat bag from Zanottis for 140 plus shipping I was amazed how much I can get in it. I am liiking at the dekker supreme or perhaps the Dakota, which appears to be  little larger to have a complete set for long distance trips. I have decided that I am going to do as little free advertizing for Harley as I can so the bag having a Harley emblem on it is not an advantage(for me)

I have this bag and have made 2 trips.  works great for one person and fits nicely on the Aero TP rack.  comes with a built in rain cover.  Kind of pricey, but it gets the job done.

I'm not sure that the Dakota is really bigger.  The cu. ft. they show on their website is more for the Dakota, but if you look at the dimensions of each, it really doesn't make sense that the Dakota could be that much bigger.  It is a very nice bag though.  It was a consideration, but since it doesn't have the removable pads, it wasn't going to fit the luggage rack.  You have an 06 SEUC, and I'm not sure what rack is on there.  The new rack on the 09's isn't very big from front to back, so not just any bag will work well on it.

Toooooo late - I bought a Nelson Rigg about a month ago for a trip to the Smokie Mountains - Memorial weekend.

This bag worked great -  https://www.nelsonrigg.com/store/product.aspx?pid=436
