What drybag do you use when traveling? I’ve got a 2013, and my boyfriend has a 2018 goldwing. I’d like to get us each the same bag. Maybe….

I've had this exact case for 8 years now and it is rock solid, no leaks, nothing. Large carrying strap, 2 tie downs, buckle enclosures, plenty of room.

I just went to cycle gear and picked up a 40 liter dry duffle made by Reax, I haven't used it yet, and looks a little shoddy...although it was only about $80 so long as it gets me through Utah and Colorado in a few months I'll call it a good investment.

I have the exact same ome Mike has, but mine is black. It's a good bag and roomy. And more importantly, waterproof and very durable.

I have always put things that must stay dry in a plastic garbage bag. Always take extras with me for dirty clothes or leaky boots. Seems to work other then having a soaked canvas bag in the room over night.

How has that bag held up for you through some rough weather?

Thanks. I like the D rings on that Cycle Gear bag. I couldn’t really find the tie down points on the other bag. His bike has some challenges with tie down points, so that might be a issue the tie down pints on a 2018 might be a whole different thread.

I use Rok straps to tie my bag down, and anything else too... like a Playmate cooler

These are great and should fit both your bikes, definitely yours. I've been using these for years and it takes minutes to put them on. Even though it says "not F6B", why I don't know, they fit fine.

MIke, a long time ago I was going to get those tie down brackets. I never did because of the depth of the rear bolt on the F6B's passenger handle. Can you actually still get to the tie down bracket when installed on the rear grab handles bolt?

Definitely, even though you tighten down the bolt these tie downs remain loose so you can swivel them, made a short video:

Max told me about rok straps, I went out and purchased some the next day at cycle gear, I've used them on multiple trips, and I gotta say I'll never go for regular bunjies again.
