Posts: 17 Tucson, AZ Gender:	Rear fender/seat bag recommendation 05/16/13 at 12:11:56 Would like to use the bike more for work, but i need to be able to transport stuff from place to place. doesnt need to be too big, biggest thing i would be moving is probably the size of a landline phone. Trying to find something decently cheap and looks good on the back. Any ideas?

Re: Rear fender/seat bag recommendation Reply #1 - 05/16/13 at 12:15:57 I got a cheap backpack @ Wally Wurld, put some D rings on it & tied it on the side. It comes off to take the stuff in the house,, Pretty? Nope, not really, but functional & cheap & hauls a good load.

About $30 & mine is still useable after 3 years.

I have an old canvas mil surplus one that's indestructible. I loosened the straps enough that the weighit rests on the seat - straps just keep it attached to me

I don't even know it's there. I think getting a backpack to wear is your best and cheapest idea. You can always keep looking if it doesn't suit.

No problems with riding. I have it on probably 75% of the time i'm riding since i commute whenever the weather is ok.

I built a set of bag brackets for my 250 and got a pair of used saddlemen bags at a pawn shop, the brackets that they sell cost over 100 bucks so I bent up some roundstock and welded nuts on it and bolted them right on, whole deal cost me 50 bucks! I hate riding with a backpack, its not for me. I love my saddlebags! Now I have to make up brackets for my savage and then mount them on this one

When I'm doing a light handyman job and only need a few tools I just throw my tool bag on the passenger seat and use one of my kayak tie down straps between the chrome fender rails and the fender, I've done this with a good sized backpack too Wink

Just make sure none of the straps can come loose!! Either from the tie down or what ever you are tying down.
