I like the Cortech tailbag too. Haven't used the saddlebags yet. As for waterproof... Last I used it in the rain, my gym clothes were sweaty anyhow- couldn't tell the difference.

here's my input: NO matter what bag you end up with - use clips and NOT BUNGEES to attach it. Bungees will fail and getting a tail bag between your swingarm and rear tire at 120mph is a life changing experience.

Ha been there, done that! Back in '97, I had a tail bag on my '97 YZF1000 and it slipped off and into my rear tire with my camcorder in it! The maker of the bag covered all of my repairs and my camcorder! This is the first one I've bought since! I'm thinking about strapping it to my seat cowl somehow. In fact, I have a couple old ones that I've considered bolting the pack to.

I know it looks goofy as hell but it works.

Zed, thats actually a pretty clever thing to do. I know if I'd had something like that it wouldve saved me scratches and lots of time strapping!

I may have to do that to my rear seat... I don't take passangers!


oh and the cortech bags are like sponges... they will SUCK moisture out of the air!

Yep,I'm kinda sorry I didn't buy a trunk now! I have two other seat cowls so it's no problem for me to make something. I'd hate to lose the shipping but I still may get the EMGO piece and send the Fieldsheer back. With the hard case, weather is not a problem anymore. Hmmm...

Does this mean you've decided not to trailer the bike? You're buying luggage....
