Soft luggage question

[dannyk]

Anybody have any experience with the Wolfman line or Roadgear line of soft luggage? I am looking at the Wolfman wolf tail for the ST as a tail bag for trips, or the Roadgear tail bag.

For a lot less money, or at least a little less, you can get something from REI...

I got a duffel bag a few years ago. The inside is lined/treated with some plastic coating so it's pretty watertight and big enough for a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress and misc items.

Hi Guys,

Coincidentally I just ordered a full set of soft luggage inners for my ST1300. (2 pannier inners plus top box inner) These are based on the Hondaline products but have been modified to use all the available space in the panniers / top box. The pannier bags also zip together for carrying. I thought these were a real bargain, and attach the sales details below, in case anyone else wants a set.

They accept PAYPAL and also have ebay listings in case you prefer to haggle!
I sent them a mail and Daz replied within 5 minutes!!

Regards,
Rob

Bag liners

Dave,

Try the Bestem USA liners found at cruiserbackrest.com . There is a write up by the reverend biker at jackphelps.com. I think they run $59.95 a set, but can be found on E-bay for less. I am still using the RKA bags bought for my ST1100 on the 1300. Fit OK, and give me a little room to stuff my bike cover (or a bottle of Crown, toilet paper, or cleaning rags) in front of the bag as well for quick removal! RKA's were about $100, and couldn't see selling them at a loss and paying the difference for the 1300 version. They are well made though.

If you have a Backrest like I do now,,, I would HIGHLY recommend a "T-Bag" Universal Helmet Bag...

T-Bag

It can be had for about $100 and made better than anything I have found... It fits perfectly in either the back or swing it around and set it on the passenger seat and use it as a drivers backrest... Holds a lot of stuff and looks good doing it too... Has internal straps in it too so it always looks like it was "Installed,,, not attached...

It will fit a 14 inch wide Backrest...

Hi, I'll post an update on whether the oversize Bestem bags are a tight fit when mine arrive ... can probably take some piccies as well if you want. Cheers. Rob

I'll give great credit to Wolfman Luggage. I have one of his tank bags and I really like it.

I do have a T-Bag that I had on my Harley and I use it on my ST but you sort of need the rack mounted to a trunk to use it the way it was intended. It was nice to pack everything in that and keep just my riding gear in the bags. Then when I got to the hotel I could just drop the TBag in the room and take off.

I got the Bestem full size ST1300 saddlebag liners as a Christmas present and found that you can't overpack them.

They will put serious pressure on the hinges and lock if you overstuff.

I normally pack them carefully and they do fully fill the saddlebags

Dannyk, I have a set of Nelson Riggs soft gear I use for trips, I like to keep the ST on the sporty side until I go for a trip then I add the soft luggage.

I don't care for the look of the tail boxes out threre nor the mounting system that is left when you ride without them.

I made a small support that screws into the stock tail piece, goes on and comes off easy enough yet supports the soft luggage great and the luggage re,oves easy enough too.

ANother shot of the Nelson Rigg set up. Later today I can take a couple of pics shoeing the plate I made for the tail piece.
