 Straps are disappointing August 11, 2010

This bag is just the right size for my V-Star 1300. I needed just a little more room for overnight trips, and the space suits me well. I was very disappointed with the straps, and the way they "loop" around a piece of the bike. The long back strap split across the fender on the first mile, and I had to throw it away. I followed the recommended instructions (which state that the straps are adjustable for any motorcycle), but the recommendation was flawed for a cruiser. However, there are still four other straps. I'm not returning it, because I figured out how to secure the bag to the frame without tearing up the straps, but it's not as easy and quick as the description says it is (unless you want your stuff to go flying off while you're on the road).
It does fit nicely on the back seat (I don't have a sissy bar or back rest), and the rain cover is a great idea. I'm keeping it because I don't keep it on the bike all the time. Overall, a decent purchase for the price.

I have an interesting relationship with this product. On one hand it does actually work, can be fitted to my Buell Firebolt, and leaves some flexibility for attachment points. On the other hand, I had to get pretty creative when trying to find attachment points, it's a bit smaller than it looks like in the pictures, and the quick-detach option is only useful for when the bike is parked.

I bought this bag after many years of riding with nothing but a cargo net for storage. My biggest concern was finding something that had enough of a foot print to hold books/magazines. With riding many years without a tailbag I did not see the reason to spend $80 for something I was unsure would work for my purpose. Once I saw this tailbag I was a bit skeptical whether or not the bag was going to be large enough but with it costing less than $40 bucks, I was willing to give it a try. Once it arrived I was impressed with the construction. It has thick insulated panels that make up the overall shape of the bag and side pockets work well for sunglasses and gloves. The bag's inside dimensions are perfect for hauling books and magazines. The bag keeps it's shape whether loaded or not. The straps that came with the bag have rubber infused to keep the straps from moving or working loose. The bag takes some getting used to having not used one in the past. Mostly mounting and dismounting is where you notice it most. I have combated this by standing on the peg first before swinging a leg over.
To sum it up I would've paid $60 for it knowing what I know now about this bag.

I have a Yamaha Road Star. I didn't want to spoil its look with big saddle bags, but needed something to hold small purchases on short trips. This bag does the job and is easy to attach and remove. Not big enough for trips or large items tho. I holds my rain gear and a few other things just fine.

Nice looking bag, but the first time I strapped it on and rode the whopping two round trip miles to the gas station, the straps broke. Nothing in the bag, not too tight, just cheap weak material. Unfortunately I had pitched the box and so it goes in the cabinet next to other worthless items. Save your money for something that works.
