    Hi All can someone tell me the best place to buy the above within Australia, and if the ROUTE 66 SISSYBAR BAG any better.

    They look the same to me. Just wonder if some of you out there have one and what do you think of them?

    I dont have a sissy bar so my only opton is to strap it to the passage seat.

    Thanks Joe

    I think there's an Aust shop on ebay that sells this bag at a reasonable price.

    I considered buying this bag myself but if you want a bag on the backseat which you can use as a backrest, it's too big for this purpose. I bought the smaller kuryakyn tombstone bag which suits my circumstances better. Even with that bag I had to remove the sissy bar pad to make it fit on. I also use the rear rack of my sissy bar and have saddlebags if I need more room.

    Thanks Farbbat and Geoff3DMN, yes had a look at it more on Google and fell it might be to big , since I don't have a sissy bar.
    Looking at something smaller maybe a roll? Anyhow thanks for your help

    My advice is to give strong consideration to how much room your back seat or any rack has. Consider the rider back rest option a bag can provide. The size is really important in this respect. Measure what you need, without sissy bar pad if necessary, experiment with mock-bags like a cardboard box or similar. I had my eye on quite a few bags but they weren't gonna fit so would have been useless. So I've got a smaller bag but that's better than a big bag that I couldn't have used anyway. If I hadn't of bought my Kuryakyn tombstone bag, I was looking at Saddlemen and Mustang bags which had some good options too.

    Mickle is right. These are a good bag. I've used mine on the sissy bar and also on the backseat of my street glide. I bought mine from JJ at Griffin Cycles and was very happy with the service.

    Check out Andy Strapz roll bags. Waterproof and plenty of room.
