tail-bag install

That's really clever. I have a Givi V47 trunk on the back of my CB, and yes, it does look huge, but it's great for carrying large items.

On my Bonneville, I've got the same soft tail bag you have, mounted on the rear portion of the seat. I've been thinking about how to move it off of the seat so I have more room, without using a bunch of straps if I were to get a small luggage rack for the bike. This might be the way to go!

I bought a couple of Nelson-Rigg expandable tank and seat bags when I started back into motorcycling. I found the seat bag made mounting and dis-mounting the bike cumbersome. When I bought a rear rack for my CB1100 EX I mounted the seat bag on it.

As the bag zippers can easily be opened, I wanted something safer for my helmet and gloves when I was away from the bike. I did not like the satellite look of large trunks, but one of the members here posted a picture of his small EMGO top box. It does not spoil the looks of this retro motorcycle, but is large enough to hold my helmet and gloves.

The top box was inexpensive and came with an easy mounting platform that fit well on the Honda rear rack. The box can be removed using the key, and snaps back on easily. It can not be left open as the key can not be removed until the box is locked.
