Temporary solution for carrying luggage

mdogruc · Oct 21, 2005

I don't like carrying luggage on my backpack so I tried to fit a tankbag to the rear subframe of my bike.

If there is a way to fit side cases to this bike for trips or any other method to carry luggage I would be glad to learn..

thanks..

here are some photos of mine

That is a good looking bike. I don`t know what all you plan to carry small or large objects. I think you might be able to fix some soft saddlebags on the bike or might even be able to make mounts for hard bags, would take some work. There is a tank bag made for ATVs that might work good to to mount it unscrew the gas cap mount the bag and tighten the gas cap back. There are fasteners on the sides to fix it so it doesn`t flap around.I use a barrel pack mounted on the forks above the front fender. Try to keep the weight low and centered as much as you can that will help the handling. Hope this gives you some ideas. Take care.

i would perhaps have a horizontal rack welded/bolted to the rear of the bike. you're going to lose that bag very soon i think otherwise!

thanks for the replies. If you have any photos of luggage , mounted on this bike any type would work for me..

Not a bad approach to a luggage rack.

Instead of using a tank bag on the rear fender I bungee net a helmet bag to the rear. Same difference. Good place for the cell phone, bottle of water, keys, tools, flashlight, etc.
