Sport Touring Seat Bag

[Big D]

I've been doing some research on seat bags, but still haven't really found what I'm looking for. Essentially I'd like a roomy tail bag which doesn't fasten to the rear of the bike via bunjies/hooks (these can easily scratch the paint if you are not careful, even if you use the hooks on the busa). I managed to find some decent bags made by RKA Luggage, but these still require straps that wrap around the rear seat. I could have sworn I have seen true rear seat bags for this bike, which are basically made around the rear seat plastics (you simply pop the bag on/off the bike just like you do the rear seat). Does anyone know of any comparable alternatives for a rear seatbag? Thanks for your help.

I use the Cortech seat bag, it uses bungies to secure but it does not touch the paint. I put small strips of velcro where the straps would touch.

I use a 24" seatbag for touring but I bought extended bungee bolts so everything fits just right with no rubbing.

Cycle World had a nice review of this bag from Bags-Connection.

A little pricey, but nice.

You have the making of a pretty good idea there, Big D. Why don't you just buy a rear seat cheap off of ebay and figure out a way to strap whatever bag you like permanently to the seat pan?

I've had the Luggage Locker Tail Bag for years and love it. It wraps around the rear seat and stays put.
