http://img1.jpcycles.com/product/831-495_A.jpgOur friends have a T Bag that sits on top of their luggage rack. They have an Harley Ultra Classic. The brand is T Bag, but it's designed for the Ultra Classic. This isn't the exact picture, but close. It's got a few zipper pouches and water bottle pockets.

Our luggage rack for the Venture is smaller. I have looked at JP Cycle but I'm not seeing anything that would fit our rack.

Does anyone have a website and picture of one that fits the Venture. We're leaving on vacation in 10 days, and I'd really like to have one by then, that I can order. I don't care what brand it is, but hopefully I can keep the cost reasonable. Thanks for any help!!

Deb,

 

I have had a few of these Kuryakyn bags, they work great and the price is right. I have used them on both 1st and 2nd gens.

Hey Squid!

That's what I'm looking for....just a quick question....is it easy to get into?

Our friends bag had a zipper that goes all the way around the top so it opened up the whole topof the bag.

This one looks like it's a zipper that goes straight across. Is that right?

Boy, you can't beat the price on it!

I got one just like Monty but in yellow. I figured for a trip it would stand out in the rain on the back of a Midnight Venture. It holds on to the rack with the supplied straps, and is very easy to remove to take in your hotel room at night. Great bag for the price.:thumbsup2:

Deb,

It's not bad to get into, if it's like the old ones I have had, it has a self storing rain cover in it that you can pull over the top. The zipper is across the top, I have run through some hard rain with it on and the contents stayed dry, the price is right & it works well :thumbsup2:

They aren't necessarily pretty, but they keep stuff dry. I have used these on luggage racks in the past and they have been great. Available at sporting good stores (and possibly wally-world)

 

For example:

I have also used these on camping trips or when out canoeing, can be completely submerged and still keeps stuff dry. I know that many of the bags that are advertised as 'water proof', really aren't. It is typically a matter of time before they get waterlogged and then get the stuff inside wet. These don't do that since they are made of a thick rubber material.

They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

 

Just thought I'd mention it as an alternative to the 'standard' motorcycle trunk bag.

Did you receive your bag? How do you like it?

 

I am anxiously awaiting it. Hope it gets here soon as we leave Fri night.

I'll let you know as soon as I get it!
