Thought I'd try something other than a duffel bag for clothes etc on overnite rides. Looked into rack packs and ordered this: Its a Nelson-Rigg GWR-950. Fits like it was made for Strom's. The buckle system fits around the rack struts and its snug and doesn't move around when attached. About 10 seconds on and 5 seconds off and no bungi cords needed. I'll add four tabs on the top for lashing down jackets etc and should be good to go :D
Purchased the bag from Nate at New Enough with typical great service. Just posted this as an FYI as a duffel bag alternate.

Nice bag. Didn't see that one when ordering. Guess I was just looking at their 'Classic' line.

I believe, like all the Nelson Rigg bags, they come with a waterproof cover. I just ordered the CL-150 tail bag and the CL-400 strapped tank bag. I will be getting the CL-850 saddles as spring approaches. Won't be going far enough over the next few months to warrant too much luggage on the bike.

Waterproof cover is correct. My photos make the bag appear " larger " on the bike than it really is. It is a good fit.

That is a nice looking bag but what seat do you have on that bike? From what I can see it looks like a nice piece.
Thanks

S.W. Motech quick release. Great system as its simple to mount any bags or cases to them. The soft bags were going to be temporary but are working out so well I'll leave them on for awhile. The racks are stout and can be removed in about 30 seconds per side.

Thanks slaghammer. I have the same side rack mounts and are very happy with them. I used ammo cans for the boxes but they are heavy. I think I will look into the same bags you have.
