smifff Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I see a few questions about rear storage ideas, here's what works for me. Most details you may need will be better explained here, https://www.saddlemen.com/ts1450r-tunneltail-bag-universal I have the Saddlemen Tunnel Bag, I bought it about 8 years ago for a different bike. It's done plenty of miles in a range of weather and has held up very well. We get the Tracer here in Aus with the panniers included in the price, I just don't always need that much space or need to carry that much weight around. The bag fits like it was made for the Tracer and holds plenty for one or possibly two day rides, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What does it look like expanded? '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smifff Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 it doesn't really expand, not like a double zipped suitcase anyway. it's not a big top box, it's more an alternative to a tank bag I guess, I think it holds about 22 litres which I think converts to .75 of a cubic foot, is that even the right conversion? Had I remembered I still had this I wouldn't have bothered buying the tank bag. here's a couple of shots where I've filled it with some towels to better show the size, I usually have some water bottles, a few snacks, a tyre repair kit with mini compressor, thicker or thinner gloves opposite to what I start the day in it.

philbee Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Love the seat, who made it? Also I have a similar rear splash shield like yours. Works great doesn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mftic Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @smifff I don't currently have oem luggage so don't know, are they possible to attach with that tailbag on? That would be a deal breaker for me. Do like the d-rings on top. Would be nice for a bedroll and hammock. *otherwise might be sold on that sw m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smifff Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 mftic, yes the Yamaha panniers will fit with the Saddlemen bag, the sides of the bag will rest on the top of the panniers, probably not ideal but it does work, also I had to take the rear grab rails off to fit the bag. sludad's SW Motech bag in the above post looks more fit for purpose to me, a little higher if that matters but certainly a better fit with the panniers and the grab rails can stay on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sludad Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Had the seat made by Russell Seats. Thicker and farther back position. Really nice and comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlambke19 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think it's this one: https://www.twistedthrottle.ca/sw-motech-bags-connection-evo-rearbag-motorcycle-luggage-system I have the previous iteration of that bag - just a little less 2018 looking. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andz Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Looks nice but I am almost always 2 up so won't work for me so a Givi topbox is my solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xstoff Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Looking at sw-motech lineup, I found the PRO line, which looks kinda sexy to me : Motorcycle tail bag PRO Rearbag from SW-MOTECH The PRO Rearbag with universal fit is suitable for use on street bikes as... If anyone has one of those, or tried it, I'm all ears! I'm not sure if they're a brand new addition though...
