Premium Member upshift Posted January 27, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2018 2 more pictures of the Cortech with a full size laptop in it. Hey, @fddriver2, I'm assuming that's the 24 L Cortech 2.0 you've got there, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fddriver2 Posted January 27, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2018 2 more pictures of the Cortech with a full size laptop in it. Hey, @fddriver2 , I'm assuming that's the 24 L Cortech 2.0 you've got there, yes? Yes. That is a Cortech 2.0 24 Liter tailbag expanded to fit the laptop. It is a full sized laptop. 15" x 10" it's a bit snug getting in the opening but it does go in without being awkward. Plus there is room to put other stuff in there with it. The bag is a little bit "floppy" when expanded. The expanded (expanding?) material isn't as ridged as the rest of the bag. So the "ears" can move around some.

moto15 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 For rear bags - hard to beat the Ortlieb large roll-top bag - From Aerostich. The one I have has seen both coasts on a couple bikes and NEVER been wet inside. Comes in yellow, red and black - mine yellow for hi vis. It's 14x24 and USD 122 - a bargain for what it is & what it holds. Ride well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If anyone is considering a waterproof roll bag, there are lots of cheaper versions than the Ortlieb version posted above. Any of the ones used by kayakers or other watersports are fully waterproof and work really well. Example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lomo-40L-Dry-Bag-Holdall-Yellow-Waterproof-Duffel-Drybag/261996113074?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted January 29, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 29, 2018 After checking out hands-on ALL readily available 40L +/1 roll-top dry bags I determined IMPO that the CG bag was comparable to all but the really expensive bags and got it on sale 10% off listed. What they don't tell you is it comes with 4 pretty decent mount straps and has a 2 year warranty, and often honor defects longer. Probably not what the initiator of this thread is looking for but if you have top and side cases and no pillion buddy, a roll-top is a great means of waterproof storage if you do not need frequent access. And even then if it can be left attached, getting in is actually quick. https://www.cyclegear.com/accessories/bilt-explorer-dry-bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rustyshackles Posted February 11, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2018 Have you considered Kriega https://kriega.us/bike-packs-1/? Excellent quality, modular system allows mix & match of varying bag sizes, quick on/off the bike.

Is it t-track? 80/20? What are those RAM mounts that connect to it? I really like your idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 9, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yes, T-rack for water sports available in plastic and aluminum. RAM offers 1" ball mounts to fit. Fabed my own adjustable height brackets (2 heights of mounting holes) that sandwich between the upper wind screen mounting holes. T-bar height varies with height of screen; i.e., bikini, oem size Double Bubble and barn door Givi with adjustable spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjdog Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have started shopping for a tail bag and had a couple of questions. For the Ogio, does anyone have a picture of it on the FJ-09? For the Nelson Rigg, some of the reviews on Amazon said that the sides collapsed unless the bag was full of stuff. Any experience with this? Thanks.

suncoaster Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Here's the Ogio, branded Dainese. note it has an expansion zip too. It has straps which I've looped under the rear seat to a carabiner, so the seat can come off with the bag attached, or the bag comes off via the plastic buckles. Each side pocket will hold a plastic water bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiny Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 No real suggestion as I use all these. Have just acquired over the years. Got this from a friend who had been riding a Harley. Worked okay, Harley luggage, but I didn't like the top lid, if you road off with it unzipped, stuff would disappear. I lost a pair of Alpine star gloves. This was another tail bag that he gave me. It works good, and is a Dowco Iron Rider. Same problem with the top lid. I lost a new S5 Samsung phone. This Tour Master Unit, the biggest of all (24L-26L) I had originally picked up for the FZ-09. When I made the tail rack, I sized the rack for this case and the one above. The Tour Master worked great on the FZ09 placed on the seat, what you are looking to do for the FJ09. Here is pic on the FZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
