Has anyone had any experience with a tailbag other than the Buell one? I need some storage , but not to big of a bag so I can leave it on most of the time.. Ken |

I messed with a $15 wal mart backpack (made for a kid) that fit nearly perfectly, and even had highlights that perfectly matched he color of the bike (9sx). It worked OK, except when it would bunch up one one end, and except for where the bungee net holding it down would buff off he tail secion paint, and except for the fact that it faded to look like crap, and except for the fact that it looked like a wadded up jacket left on the back of the bike... After 3 months, I gave it away and paid the $69 for he lightning tail bag. My local dealer even had it in stock. I could not be happier with the thing. Looks better, works better, a fantastic piece of engineering. YMMV. |

Samsonite Photo Video Carry-All Model # B332 I had to buy it online. $20-25. I'll look to see if I still have the invoice. I'll be putting it on this weekend. If I get a chance I'll take a picture. |

Didn't find the invoice but I found the shipping box. I bought it from Photoco Inc. 440-996-0880. I'll try to get some pics of it mounted this weekend. |

Thanks Paul, I'd like to check it out. If it doesn't work out OK I'll Do what Bill says and go get the "S" bag. I was just looking for another good, cheaper alternative. Thanks Guys, Ken |

Here's some pics, all you should need except I didn't take one while it was on the bike. I rode Saturday with the DFW group and someone had the Buell bag on his XBs. I can say mine is larger. It comes with shoulder straps that are connected by three small screws.
