Camping equipment luggage options for our bike

[Pete Erickson_imp]

If you are travelling single, two tail bags I would recommend for touring are:

The Saddlemen TS3200DE Deluxe Cruiser Tail Bag.

The Medium Motofizz Camping Seat Bag.

I have used both on multiple 1k mile trips and both work great.

Neither is water proof. The Motofizz comes with a rain cover. The Saddlemen does not. I carry plastic garbage bags and if it looks like rain, I will put all the items in the garbage bags to keep them dry.

Both expand to carry more stuff. The Saddlemen is a little bit easier to get stuff in and out of.

I used both on my BMW R1200R with OEM hard bags. I put all of my clothes in one side and my sleeping bag and air mattress in the other. My tent and ground cloth went in the tail bags along with a stove and cooking kit. There was plenty or room for more stuff.

If you add a luggage rack, I would recommend the Saddlemen AP700 Rear Rack Bag.
