Yankee Lima Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi All, Recently took delivery of new LC RT (done just under 1500 miles to date) and loving every mile so far. Just completed a 3 day tour over Bank Holiday weekend. However, I would like to use the bike solo without topbox and panniers but would like to fit a small tail pack (say 5 to 10 litres)to the standard topbox rack for usual things gloves fixaflat etc. I am not keen on tank bags. Can anyone recommend a solution or brand? Ventura Sportpack 3 is a possibility but Im not sure how easy the fixing would be as it is supposed to be used with the ventura rack.

JerryMather Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Take a look over Here and see if any of their bags will work for you. A Great company with a very knowable staff to help you with this. Link to comment
GRB60 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Look at the BMW Softbag 2 (there are small and large sizes). It's waterproof and attaches easily. It is bigger than 10 litres but you may like it. Link to comment
eddd Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have a Nelson-Rigg I use on my Ducati. It is very well made and I really like the stiff sides and convenient handle. I don't see mine in their current line up but this is the closest. Even with the rain cover I carry zip lock bags to carry my more sensitive items when in a strong or persistent rain. Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Touratech has a nice tail bag that will fit like a glove but will also relieve you of a sizable part of your hard earned money. For my Honda, I have a humble Oxford tail bag. Does its job well and would fit the RT luggage rack perfectly, if I could figure out how to use the attachment which, it must be said, works like a treat on the big Honda. Link to comment

UberXY Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 BMW Softbags turn up on eBay now and then. Link to comment
walton66 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I am partial to this one http://www.aerostich.com/bags/seat-bags-and-tail-bags/seat-and-rack-bags/medium-motofizz-camping-seat-bag.html but it attaches in a longitudinal manner. could be turned perhaps. I will have to look at it this weekend. They make a smaller and larger version as well. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have been using this tail bag for years now and love it. Fits on either the back seat or the luggage rack! http://www.cyclegear.com/CycleGear/Accessories/Luggage/Tail-Bags/brand/CORTECH/Cortech-Sport-Tail-Bag/p/36033_59409 It is the original version. They have a newer one but IMHO the attachment is not as versatile as the original. Link to comment
