Got a couple of trips coming up, and I know this subject has been raised in previous posts, but I'm interested in what folks favourite sissy bar gear bags are, and their pros and cons. PS, all you bagger guys ready to arc up and suggest I should've bought a Granny Glide can GFY!

You're a gentleman, Graz,old mate, for not voicing those opinions. (But I'm dead certain I'm gunna get some anyway!)Thanks, Soapy. I'll check them out next time I'm in the Dealers. Already have the day bag, so I'm mainly interested in a big, waterproof main bag.Have you been in the wet with your set up??

The tourer panniers are exceptional in the wet and carry so much gear , that a sissy bar bag is not really required . With the one gloved finger opening mechanism of the Rushmore designed hard bags , they are ........ Oh ...... hang on.... Naahh , you,ll just have to wrap your pack in a garbo bag ........

Here we go C.mon ,Timmy!

The T-Bags look like excellent kit (along with Saddlemen), Keith, but ,like all good stuff, it's costly. I have to work out what my best requirements are though, without compromising quality for price. I've done that before, and found it makes better sense to spend more money on something that'll last rather than penny pinching and finding the stuff leaks ,or the zippers are shit. Great suggestion, Fatbat! Although I'd be 90% of the time 2 up, the idea of using your luggage as a backrest on a long ride would be cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've got a Saddleman 3400, very happy with it. Well built, plenty of compartments and it sits on my rear rack well when the (supplied) bag tie downs are used, there's a bigger one with a top roll and a smaller one but I reckon the 3400 is about the right size for a dyna.

My (XL -10degree) sleeping bag in a compression sack takes up the middle compartment and I get a camp pillow, a self inflating sleeping mat and a mini camp stove in the top compartment.

My tent and chair I strap across my pillion seat and clothes, food and alcohol goes in my panniers (the switchback panniers are smaller than the touring range panniers).

That's enough for me to go camping at a weekend rally in comfort but if I'm away for a week I'd be washing clothes and buying food and drink.

 I know its $$ up front,but a good spend for years to come.

Geoff, do you know of anyone in Oz that sell Saddlemen kit, or is it all ordered Stateside.I'd like to get prices in Aussie dollars.

I don't know of any aussie suppliers for the Saddleman bags, I got mine from amazon.com from a seller called 2 orange Harleys (the 'saddleman' store don't send to Australia). If you log onto Amazon.com and add the item to your cart and select freight you can display the delivered cost without buying it (without checking out).  I just did that and the BR3400EX (with the top compartment but without studs) comes to $330 Oz dollars delivered to my door (your freight may be slightly different but not much).

Thanks you guys. ill let you know what I end up buying and how they shape up. Got to get something soon, cos it'll take the missus 2 months to work out how much she can fit in. At this stage it'll look something like this........and that's only an overnighter!!!!
