Nelson-Rigg tail bags

[Skidood]

Hi all, wondering if anyone has one of these on their Tracer GT?

I have a similar bag that fits nicely on the back. Can strap to rear seat and remove seat with bag still attached to seat. It's a Givi and costs a lot less. A little bit smaller though and only a 2 year warranty vs. Nelson Rigg  having a lifetime warranty. https://www.amazon.com/Givi-XSTREAM-SEAT-TAILPACK-20ltr/dp/B00IEAYTB4

Yup have bag that the OP linked to, works/looks great and fits almost as if designed for these bikes.

I have the same one and have been happy with it.

I bought mine on Revzilla for $130 last year. It went up but is still cheaper than Fortnine. Works great and holds a lot of gear.

I’ve got a 1060-ST2. I bought it 3 months ago. I don’t use it at all for local riding because it kind of gets in the way of my mount and dismount of the bike (gettin’ on and gettin’ off). Plus I don’t need the storage around town, the panniers are way sufficient. I use this bag on a longer ride where I need the additional storage.

The bag is China made. The first one Cycle Gear sent me had a defective main zipper. Cycle Gear was good about handling the return. The replacement 1060 has been perfect. It’s a good high quality build but, because of the cheap zipper on the first one they sent me, I am paying attention to the new one. A zipper failure would be annoying out on the road.

My only complaint, which I also have mentioned to Nelson Rigg via email and to Cycle Gear by phone during ordering and replacement, is that they are China made. These should be made in a western country IMO.

I have a Cortech tail bag that works nicely on a Tracer that I'm willing to sell as I have a Shad top case now.

There is a very good reason for that and it most assuredly has nothing to do with a Chinese decision to move it there. That decison was probably made my Nelson-Rigg USA.

Very true, and why I didn't bother to complain to China about it.

Not complaining, really.  It's a great product and a great company.  And Cycle Gear has really upped their online game.  I've ordered a few things lately from CG and the service has been terrific.

I have the commuter lite on my VFR1200F. Pretty happy with it. Seems well made and durable. Soft bags take a beating here in SOFLA. So time will tell.

I get stuff from where I get good value; some of it is expensive and some of it is cheap and they are sourced all over the world. Us motorcyclists have to pay through the noses as it is simply because some vendors see motorcycling as a luxury or leisure activity and jack up proces because they can and because riders will pay.

But to get this back on topic, Nelson-Rigg makes some good kit but used to be that they were more tailored to the cruiser market and that causes me to automatically pass. When it comes to luggage (and other stuff, actually) I tend to give SW Motech first look.

I have the Nelson Rigg tail bag on my Tracer.  It is easy to use and works very well.  It fits nicely on the pillion seat and holds a lot of gear.  I keep it on the bike at all times and add the hard cases when I am going to be gone for a few days.  The materials are of good quality and mine even survived a nasty crash and never came off the bike.  My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that the inner pocket in the lid could be more robust.
