I use this on my '04 Interceptor. Perfect for miscelleneous items like water, extra gloves, camera etc. I even can fit my laptop in it. In AZ, I have started the morning with heavier gloves, and my jacket liner. Next thing you know its 80 degrees after noon (yes in Feb) and off comes the liner, and I switch to lighter gloves. Very handy bag indeed. Wish I could use the side bags.

Charlie - August 09, 2007(Springfield, AZ)

This is a truly great product - particularly if you are riding a sport bike. It is large enough to comfortably accommodate a large portfolio, 15" computer, a hat, telephone, and at least one book - I know this because mine does it every day. The only challenge is that you need to be a flexible person (do some Yoga or something) as you will need to kick your leg extra high to clear it when mounting your bike. Seriously... just buy one.

I first got this bag for my DR650 and liked its versatility and price, so I bought another for my V-Strom 1000. This is a great bag. Has enough room for most things and with the added expandability to attach matching side bags (Which I intend to get) it's a no-brainer.

I have an '05 sv650 and this bag is perfect. It works great as an overnight/weekend bag with plenty of room for a couple of changes of clothes and a few other items. Agreed on above comment that it makes it a bit more difficult to get on and off the bike, but that would be expected with any tail bag. Highly recommended!

Chiro Doc Luvs it! - August 09, 2007(Sacramento, WY)

F4i CBR 600 with highmount M4 exhaust. I cannot have saddle bags because of the exhaust. The tail bag was the best option. I didn't want to wear a backpack. Did a 400mi ride to Pismo Beach on Hwy 1 and 101 on the twisties. Had enough stuff packed for 4-5 days worth. I could've even put my laptop in there but that would've been competing with the boxers for the amount of days that I was taking. Good choice!

I bought this bag to use for commuting to and from work. It's big enough to hold my laptop, a book or two, and even a change of clothes (including boots). The design is well considered: it attaches and detaches to the bike easily with the four bungee chords; the shoulder strap is not fancy but sufficient; and the material on the underside of the bag keeps it from moving around on the seat. Great bag for a great price.

Excellent quality. Expanding sides allow you to really pack in the gear for touring. Collapsing the sides, makes the bag perfectly sized to hold a laptop, lunch, and a few other office-commuting essentials. Reinforced sides keep the bag holding its shape even when empty. Rain cover tends to fly off at highway speeds, so throw a net over the assembly before hitting the slab. If it were made of a material like gore-tex, it would get 5 stars.

This tailbag works perfectly on my H-D Sportster equipped with solo seat and fender rack. I use it as a day bag to hold wallet, sunglass case, ball cap, sunscreen, etc. Unzip the side expansion zippers, and the bag is large enough to hold 4 days' worth of clothing, maps, rain suit. I used it as a carry-on for a fly-and-ride trip and it held half helmet, camera, purse, reading material.

It is great on my Honda XR400R. A lot of room for those long dual sport rides. I also like to ride alone and it has plenty of room for my emergency gear in addition to my regular gear (spare tubes and all the normal stuff). No need for separate tool kit bags, tube bags, back packs, etc. It can expend to hold a lot of stuff. It is a great bag, made of very tough material and seems like it will hold up well. I have searched for bags for a while, this one was the only one that fit my needs.

I just got back from a road trip to Montana and was planning on taking a backpack and my new tail bag. I packed everything into my tail bag and ended up not even having to take a backpack. It didn't move at all on my '06 R6 even at high speeds, and I couldn't feel it in the turns. The only poor thing I can say about this is that it did scuff the paint on my bike, but it was worth it for the easy storage of all my stuff.

I had seen many others using these bags, after much research I tried them out. They are great. No complaints. If you stuff them full, you can unzip an extension on the sides for even more space. They fit nicely on my 2005 R6 if you put them in front of the stock turn signals, if you want them back where they really belong, you need to get some kind of fender eliminator and remove the stock signals.

There is plenty of room in this tailbag to fit many items in.

In the unexpanded mode it’s great for carrying an SLR, a bottle of water, phone etc. Its feels secure on the bike and I regularly use it at highway speeds without any kind of slippage. I haven't tested it in the rain yet so can't comment on its waterproofness but the included rain cover looks like it will do the job.

The bungee cords were a bit too long so I just cut them and re-attached the ends. The hooks are plastic so they don’t scratch the paint as easily. There is a layer of neoprene under the bag so it doesn't move around. Highly recommended.

I use this on a DL650. It fits perfectly on the stock luggage rack. The built-in bungees and hooks attach nicely to the luggage rack and the passenger foot pegs. I've been using this on my daily commute for two months with no durability issues. It attaches/detaches quickly and doubles as a handy carry bag for clothes, supplies, equipment, whatever. No issues with it staying securely connected to the bike at freeway speed - I forget it's there.

I was able to pack a 17” laptop, a pair of (my size 14!) shoes, a hat, and still had room to spare! It comes with a shoulder strap you can use to carry the bag with you once you arrive at your destination. Great product - highly recommend it.

Paired this with a set of Cortech Sport Saddlebags for my Suzuki GSXR 750 and they rarely leave my bike. I love how easily it attached to the saddle bags and how much space it can all hold if I want to use all the expansions. The extra pockets are handy for all the little items (phone, extra keys, towel for the visor, etc). My bike has the eliminated tail so it was a little tricky at first to find a place to attach it, but using saddle bags straps in conjunction with two of the bungee straps from this the thing never moves! Definitely happy with my purchase!

I replaced an earlier version I used for so many years that the fabric holding the zippers sun bleached to red from black. The reason for replacing it, however, was that the elastic cords had lost their strength and it proved too complicated to replace them. I took the opportunity to change to the bright blue color for my blue Bandit. The size and easy opening accommodates my gym bag well, without having to use the expansions and each pocket can carry a pint water bottle. For three day weekend rides, the use of expansion was sufficient for clothes changes and walking shoes for the entire weekend. The pack is stable on the passenger seat and does not sag on the sides if not expanded. Inside pockets in zippered top provide a place for a small note pad for trip notes.

The material and zippers are heavy duty. I would prefer the top opening and inner compartment to be just a bit larger for a standard size binder (without using the expandable sides). I would also like the side pouches to be larger than, at least as large as the side of the bag. It appears they were made smaller for looks, which sacrificed practicality and storage space.

It fits great on my bike (Ninja 500R) and has plenty of space for extra helmet shield, clothes, tools, etc. It is quick and easy to attach and detach. The shoulder strap is very useful too, although it could be a bit more padded, heavier duty (although it would take up more storage space if that were the case). The hooks on the shoulder strap that clip on to the bag are plastic and are sometimes a struggle to get on and off as the clip part of the hook is a little funky - at least on mine. Nothing major, though. I am very happy with this bag overall and would buy it again. I highly recommend it.

At first I thought about returning it because I thought it was too small and I would not be using it much. Well, was I wrong. Fits on my FZ6 fine with minor adjustments to the bungee cords. It holds a lot more than I thought. To top it off, if things get crowded, I just use the zippers on each side to expand the bag and it grows with space. I love it now. It also has side pockets for smaller items. I keep my safety vest (for riding on base), towel, and balaclava in these pockets. I also have a clear visor in the main compartment when day turns to night. It also comes with a waterproof cover. I don't think the waterproof cover will go on when the bag is expanded though.

I bought this bag on a recommendation because I was looking for something that would fit a 17" laptop. This bag totally fits the bill. It easily takes my laptop with plenty of room to spare.

The bag fits well on the back seat, and it mounts securely to the bike. I have ridden at 65 mph with the rain cover on, and it has never given me a reason to think it will be pulled off by the wind, and it keeps the bag perfectly dry even in a downpour. The only fault I can find is that the quality on my bag seems to be lacking a bit. One of the seams on a non-crucial part started to come unraveled, but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed with a needle and thread.

If you really want it rain proof buy some quality spray on tent/backpack/sleeping bag weather proofing and it will solve that little problem.

Love this bag. Second one I have owned.

My old bag is still good but the zipper on top was getting messed up after about 5 years of use. I also lost my rain cover so I ordered a new one. The 4 tie down hooks work on just about any bike. The rain cover works fine when you remember to cinch it down :) Cortech is great bang for the buck.

Got this for my ZX6R. It seems to be very well built and looks great! Only complaint is it uses elastic round straps with plastic hooks to secure. I've seen this secured under the rear seat, but I will have to change them and use flat nylon straps.

Good bag; disappointed with the bungees and zippers

I bought this bag three years ago for my ZZR. I used it almost daily since I commute on my bike. It fit on my bike well and I liked the way it expands at the sides. It could swallow my laptop bag with my computer and accessories and still have room for a book, my wallet and a few other small things. The non-slip pad works well enough, it kept the bag on my bike even a couple of times when I forgot to hook up the bungees. I'm disappointed with the durability because the zippers have recently come apart and a hole has developed in one corner. The non-slip pad started coming apart soon after I got it. However, considering how much I've used this bag over the three years I've had, I guess it held up pretty well.

I purchased this bag to replace the roll-style bag on my cruiser. Mounting was simple and effective and it holds well in the wind. Its capacity surprised me, being greater than I expected. I am even able to carry a half helmet as well as a half-cover in it.

That's right. I use it on my 1600 Vulcan cruiser. I know it was designed more specifaclly for sport bike use, and I believe that it wouls serve that function as good or better than most of the other products out there. it turns out just to be the perfect bag to strap onto my luggage rack. You can't fit a helmet into it, but that was not what it was designed for. As far as the many other things you may want to carry along on your journey, this is the perfect detachable travelling bike bag. It is quality construction. It has a reasonable degree of expandability, and it just plain looks good. I recomment it.

I used this tailbag with and without the matching saddlebags and it was great. When used with the saddlebags it attaches to them and becomes like one piece. Alone it attaches with 2 bungees and held very steady for me on a R6.

Read other reviews that the bag wasn't as rigid as some people would have liked. Could see that when I mounted it on the bike. Overall very pleased, sure does hold a lot of my junk without being the size of a small house on the back of the bike.

The size is exactly the same as the passenger seat on my Magna. It is easy to attach and remove. Although I have had it for only a few weeks, it appears to be well made and finished. I wasn't really interested in being able to expand it, but it is more useful than I would have expected. Good value.

Good purchase but it doesn't quite fit the way I had hoped. Maybe it's just me. I'll work on it some more and see how things turn out. Overall, it's a good bag, just takes a bit to get a good secure position on my bike.

I've used this tail bag for two 20 mile trips already and it works great. I've stuffed it to it's max and it really stays on the back of my '07 Suzuki GSX-R 600. If you try to move it by tilting each side it moves but that is only if you have the bag extended. It hasn't fallen off and I feel like it is secure behind me so I have no worries when on the freeway. The color (blue) also goes great with my bike which is also blue and white.

I'm a bike commuter and was tired of carrying around my backpack, especially on 90 degree summer days, so I bought this. I was a little concerned about my laptop fitting, but with a little maneuvering it slides right in. To have the laptop fit I do have to open one of the expansion zippers on the side though. It's easy enough to get on and off my Triumph with the factory panniers, and it doesn't look like a suitcase when you carry it around at work. The shoulder strap is a nice addition. There's not much in the way of organization in the main compartment. It's pretty much one big space, but it is amazingly roomy given its small size, and at the price it's hard to beat.

I love this bag! I have a Ninja 250r and it was really hard to find a little bag that you could still fit a ton of stuff in it. It has great little compartments inside and on the side so easy to keep things organized. The bag is easy to take on and off the bike and has a great little handle for packing it around, when needed.

Good fit and finish. I normally buy a soft tackle box from a local sporting goods store, because of the cost and number of pockets that are part of those type of bags. It is usually a challenge mounting those bags, however. The Cortech bag attaches and detaches easily and will be a lot better for day trips and multi day trips because it can be taken off and used for an overnight bag. Also, it comes with a neat rain cover.

Perfect for what I needed, the bag is easy on - easy off and fits my bike very well. My only problem really is the bulkiness of my rain gear so my bag is mostly full from the get go. Still, good product, my only suggestion would be adjustable bungee cords as I have a little slack to deal with.

I bought this for commuting. The bag works great and will fit a 14" widescreen laptop no problem. I'm pretty sure a 15" would fit as well as there is room to spare. The pack seems to be good quality and is easy to secure to the bike. It may be worthy of 5 stars on all counts, but I am a new rider and have not owned a lot of gear to compare to.

I love this tailbag. I took it on a three day trip and had plenty of room to put my rain gear and a change of clothes for 3 days. The bag fit ok on my bike, but I did tie a few knots on the ends of the bungies in order for it to fit tighter.

Lori - September 23, 2008(Wantagh, NY)

The quality is great but it doesn't fit my Ninja that well. Since there is no place to strap it onto in the back of the bike, the bag is sitting a little forward. It is impossible for me to swing my leg over the bike with the bag on. It holds less than I thought it would. I put rain gear, pair of gloves and a jacket liner in and it is full. I was hoping to use it for a weekend getaway. It's still better than a knapsack.

really love the whole set!

I used to have a set of saddlebags for my old Katana - and I can't believe how much better these are! The tail pack doubles as my workday briefcase, cleans up with soap and water, fits my 15" MacBook Pro, and doesn't mess up either the seat or the solo cowl on my VFR800 - and the addition of the saddlebags looks great, stays put, and allowed me to go camping (with an added tank bag and a bedroll/tent bungee-netted on) for 9 days w/o needing to do laundry! I love this luggage!

Overall I'm impressed with the quality and capacity of this tailbag. Has a nice sleek look that mates well to my '02 Bandit. Expandable sides allow me to fit larger items such as my laptop without issue. Lots of compartments to hold my stuff and the bag goes on and off easily. This has me looking at the matching saddle bags now. Biggest gripe so far though regards the bungees. I've adjusted and re-adjusted them but the rears don't always want to stay attached. The bag will move some on

I have the tailbag and the saddlebags. They work great together and fit extremely well on the bike. I have an 06 GSX600f. I am able to pack enough for several days and have room left over. Very dependable at high speeds as well. The only problem I have had is that the rain cover from the tailbag blew off on a trip. Saddlebag covers held tight though. Overall a very good product.

This is a nice little bag, pretty sporty looking, and well-made too. Although it is a bit smaller than my last tailbag (J.R.-Velocity), and once you get used to a certain capacity, it's hard to go down. The dimensions should be listed on the site.. or at least tell you how many bottles of beer you can fit in it. If Tour Master sent me the saddlebags for free, then I'd definitely give it that coveted 5th star.
