cargo options
« on: March 29, 2009, 06:13:33 PM »
Right now, when I need to tote something, I just use a backpack but I'd like to not have it on me but rather something attached to the bike.  The kicker is, I need it easily removable so I can tote it into and out of work with me.  I'd like to make minimum to no mods to my bike but I do not even know where or for what to start looking.  I want to be able to carry some raingear and a lunch sack and a bit of paper work is all so I don't really need anything that big.  Any suggestions.

Sounds like you need saddle bags or a TBag for the sissy bar if you have one.

How about a small, waterproof day pack?  Bungee cord it to your back seat.  Easy on, easy off, easy to carry with you.

what kind of bike yu riding?yur tools and paperwork can be carried in a fork bag that stays on all the time.if yur useing apes or a similiar type high handlebar yu can bungee stuff to them.jackets and chaps can be a pain if yu got nice stuff and dont want it ripped off.i suggest goin to a bagger type bike like i did lol.flht standard.if yur a chopper type guy like i used to be, think about getting sum leather bags custom made for your situation.a tall sissy bar can tote everything with some creative fastening.it mite not look cool but mite git yu to werk and bak.

Might help to know the bike and setup you got. A little description please.  I ride with a chick that uses the T-BAg type of bag on her sissy bar. She has the quick releases and takes it into work with her or into a motel when she travels. Carrys all kind of stuff in hers and it zips down more compact for every day use. Some are $100 or less.

This is the bike:



It is an el-cheapo Korean rice burner but also a limited edition version so I don't want to alter it.  The make a sissybar and luggage rack for it.  I'm thinking I'll have to add that and then get a bag to fit it.  Thanks for the ideas.  Let me know if you all have any other ideas.
