Admin Alex Posted March 14, 2019 Admin Share Posted March 14, 2019 I've had enough carrying a backpack just to carry my waterproofs and disc lock, can anyone recommend a smallish tail bag I can leave permanently on the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Do Yamaha sell a specific one for your bike?I use a tank bag that locks onto an adapter on the fuel filler, nice and easy to remove and I've got locking rings on two of my bikes so nice and transferableSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I had one on the Tiger, you have to hurdle the bike to get on tho ", it was tall, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bippo Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think Kriega sell something which may work? Don’t know if they can be left on the bike (and if they could whether someone would want to pinch it?)If I do need additional storage then I just use a roll bag on the back, but as Blackie alluded to, depending on the bike / size of pack it can be an art getting on. I tend to mount my bike like you would a horse when it’s fully loaded.A tank bag has my essentials in for quick access, but I don’t need to remove mine during petrol stops.

Admin Alex Posted March 15, 2019 Author Admin Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yamaha don't make a specific tail bag. Ironically I didn't even think about a tank bag, even though I've had a bagster tank cover with mounts on for the last year. I've just kept it on to stop the tank getting scratched when parked amongst the bikes outside work. I'll take a look but I don't think they do any tank bags which still give easy access to the filler cap. Had a look at Kriega but they look like bags and I'm quite vain, I'd like something which looks like a small shell bag, similar to the hard shell type motorbike backpacks.

bippo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If you like that style, maybe try Givi? I just Googled on my work laptop and saw model number ST607 which is a shell design. Looks quite big (tall) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having similar problems a while back, didnt want a tailpack as I struggled to get my leg over the added height, tank bag stops access to the filler, so I bought a largeish leg holster, it takes all the daily stuff, phone/cash/discklock/keys. Depends how small you can roll up the waterproofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1949 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Going slightly off on a tangent, can anybody recommend where I can get a backpack with only one strap? Not sure what it's called but It's a bit like a diagonal bag that you put over one shoulder and can swivel around to the front. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE0 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi Mike You're referring to a MONOSTRAP bag or "Mens crossbody bag". Careful... crossbody bags on ebay is mainly ladies handbags/shoulder bags! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1949 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Cheers Neo, don't want an Essex boys "manbag" maybe I'm not describing I't very good but I have got a sort of one I got from a petrol station about twenty years ago for about £1.99. But I want a more "robust" one with a buckle. Mike. BTW, the one I got from the petrol station is only held together by Velcro. I would preferably like it to be secured by a buckle.
