Ok guys, I have a question. I have the Tourmaster cruiser bag for the rear rack, I have found that this really doesn't hold as much as I would like to carry (or what she would like to carry)!:shhh:. Who has a larger bag for the rack that will carry lets say twice as much? Here is what I have.

I have this xkursion xr2.0. It holds quite a bit surprisingly.

I recently used the Tourmaster Extralarge Sissybar bag on a 1700 mile trip. Loved it.

Seems like a good option since I already have the top piece. I'm guessing it was attached very well!

I secured it to the bike at several points. The bag has a universal/adjustable mounting system which wraps completely around the rear backrest. I then strapped it down to my "BikeMP3" rack with its two quick connect strap tie downs (on the front of the bag) and "shoe lace" type straps (on the rear).

How about the bikers friend XL bag, it is pretty good size but is similar in its look as your tourmaster but is suppose to be able to hold a lot more. You would have to look at interior size and compare. It should look right at home on the fat butt of your F6B.

I've got several larger bags ... and, the Show Chrome rack (still to be mounted, waiting for Honda's pre-drilled bits for the butt of the 6 to arrive).

No passenger backrest either.

One concern I have is the antenna location. Seems if we get to wide the antenna will interfere with the baggage, unless we relocate the antenna. Eh?

I just did a trip with this through rain, hail, wind, and this bag kept everything bone dry. Hard bottom so it keep its' shape and $44 with free shipping. Plenty of room - held all my gear including a tent, cooking supplies with room to spare.

Bear in mind I don't have a rack in the back.

I have the Laconia by T Bag. Works really well for me. Bought it on amazon.

3316 No luggage rack on this 6. My bag is not waterproof, it is a little long and I would buy it again. I installed a thin plastic sheet inside the bottom of the bag to stiffen it to keep it from rubbing my paint. When I put too many water bottles in the side pocket it rubbed anyway (waxed out perfect so score 1 for the Honda paint). For rainy days I simply put my tent ground sheet on top of the bag with my tent on top. Never had any noticeable moisture inside the bag and I did ride in some rain but no more than a few hours at a time.

On the plus side the bag is very well made. It is also a backpack which was nice when the campsites were not next to the 6. 15840 The center outside pocket carried a small pillow that acted as my back support. All the outside pockets were much appreciated and I never filled the bag completely on a recent 7,800 mile trip. When I needed to the tent would fit inside the bag nicely.
