Saddleman Tail Bag for your Sportbike

Saddlemen Sport Tunnel Tail Bag triumph speed triple daytona street triple I definitely see the value in a tailbag that has top access, since my Kriega packs don't. 

This Saddlemen Sport Tunnel Tail Bag looks like a cool tailbag if you have a tiny rear seat like on a Speed Triple, Daytona 675 or similar. A customer came in recently and purchased one for her Daytona 675. It looks like the straps work under the seat so if you don't have any mount points below, this should work well.

Another bag I recommend for top access is the Cortech Super 2.0 Tail Bag (available in 14L or 24L), but you do need external mount points to attach this to your seat. Cortech also offers an optional rain cover if you choose the larger 24L option.

Another review in the queue.. Kriega

Last weekend I went on another 3 day riding weekend. Only logged 600 miles (rode 2 out of 3 days) but I loved how these performed. 

Sadly it was 100 degrees so I couldn't test the waterproof nature of these Kriega packs but I absolutely love how they are interchangeable and stackable with one another. I'm trying to get away from saddlebag systems just so have the lowest profile setup on my bike. The setup above has a total capacity of 40 Liters. I only filled them 2/3 of the way and am confident that I could easily fill them up for a 4-5 day trip.

If you're a sportbike / naked bike enthusiast, then you know how difficult luggage can be. Kriega's ingenious system allows their bags to fit on pretty much any bike, even if you don't have mount points!

Stay tuned for a full review.

(I've been practicing packing lighter and lighter so that's probably also why I'm able to conserve so much space)
