    First Gear Torrent Waterproof Duffle Bag?

    Has anyone purchased a First Gear Torrent Waterproof Duffle Bag and used it on their F6B? I'm looking for a waterproof bag to strap to my MP3 rack. As I plan to do a fair bit of travel this summer, I'm thinking the 70 liter duffle would be helpful - but I'm not sure if it would fit/tie down well. They also offer a 40 liter duffle - but I could use more space. Here's where I saw it online: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...oof-duffle-bag

    Personally, I prefer a bag that "breathes" on the hot summer road trips. Most are very water resistant and work well except in a heavy downpour. Xelement makes a good bag at a reasonable price and comes with a rain cover for the worst of weather.

    Recommendations welcome!

    Thanks for the tip. I would appreciate hearing what other large bags folks have found to be a good fit on their F6Bs.

    This large Helen Twowheels bag is what I've been using for several years and I like it a lot:

    It's large enough to hold quite a bit and still fits very nicely on either the passenger seat or my MP3 rack. To make it even easier to use, I picked up a set of ROK straps. If you're not familiar with those, I highly recommend looking at them.

    I have one of these, and have used it for years, same principle, and one of the first dry bags made. Go for it.

    I am thinking about the Viking Cruise roll bag. At Amazon it is $49.99. Looks like a great bag especially for the money, great reviews.
