I love this bag, it holds a ton and fits great on the larger aftermarket F6B luggage rack. My girlfriend and I have been to Sturgis many times with this bag and it's all we need.

You guys are really testing the 6.6 lb limit of your cargo racks.
That's a sweet looking bag, thanks for sharing!Originally Posted by d-shark

I'm using Rok Straps instead of the straps that came with this bag simply because they are easier to use. The bag is waterproof, holds a lot of stuff, and I personally prefer this look over a top case. My H2W bag is around 10 years old and has held up very well. It still looks new. So far, I haven't seen anything I would rather have. Being the "tweaker" that I am, that's saying something.

Hornblower, do you happen to have a picture of your bike with this bag strapped on it? And do you strap the bag to the passenger seat or to the rear rack?I have the Helen Twowheels Clothes Sack (Large Size). For a link to see more info go here:

Back in the 90's I made a number of BMW get together's where Helen was personally selling her wares. I still have all the stuff I bought from her. Do you know if she is still around, or did she sell her business to someone?
I don't think I do, actually. Possibly, there are pics on the website. The last time I used it was the Daytona F6B gathering and that's also when I discoved the Rok Straps. That time, I strapped it on my passenger seat. Since then, I've added the Bike MP3 rack so next time, I will have to experiment to see where it mounts best. Since I never have a passenger, I like the idea of strapping it on the passenger seat. The only downside I see to that is possibly scratching the grab bars since the bag does overlap those. It wasn't a problem last time but it could happen. Also, the further back you mount a load, the more it can potentially affect handling (probably not too significant). Like I say, I will experiment with this.

Right, hiflyer, that's when I learned about H2W too. I used it on my K12LT. I guess she catered to the Beemer crowd. I don't know if she is still around but, of course, there still is the website. That's all I know about that.
I guess we should point out that several other companies have since come out with some really nice bags. If I were buying today, I would spend some time checking out the latest offerings.

I have the OEM Honda rear rack, and can't imagine loading a duffle bag on that without possibly scratching my paint. I was thinking of strapping the bag length ways..long way toward the rider, that way it wouldn't come close to scratching the bike. Thanks to the crew on the forum, I've purchased some ROK straps and am now looking for a good waterproof travel bag.
