I do a lot of riding to work, that means I also like having my luggage with me when I get there. A couple of the guys I ride with, they always put their stuff in one of the vans that are also going to the same place as we ride too. Sometimes it is several hours before the van gets there to get the luggage to the room. So I have a Kuryakyn bag that I have been using. It fits in the seat okay, but when I stuff to much in it, it pushes me forward. It's not much, but it takes a little while to get it forced back to where it is comfortable. Well over the weekend I was up at Tilley's H-D for a Rock & Ride Rally. A few vendors, food / beer stands and a band. Not much really going on, but I did run across one of the vendors selling luggage. One of the bags he had looked like it would fit the back sear of the Vision. Being on the Hammer, I had to go back home and get Rosie. Well I got back up there and tried it out to see if it would fit. Stuck it the seat and it looked like it would work. So I bought it, took it home and packed it for a three day trip to Richmond. Looks like I can pack it for a full week and still have room. The only bad thing is the top straps are to short to reach the luggage rack on the top of the trunk. He said that he would mail me some extentions so I would not have to use a bungie cord. So hopefully I will get them when I return from Richmond. I did put a weeks worth of socks in one side pocket and 7 pair of drawers in the other pocket. I'll let you know how it works out when I get back home at the end of the week. ET

This one was 135. It is well made. And I found another pocket on the front of it. ET
