    Question about Luggage

    What does everyone use for their luggage on long trips. Particularly those of you who have the Honda travel rack. Also, those of you who strap your luggage onto your passenger seat...what do you use? And do you just strap it to the grab rails or did you install something else to strap it to?

    Thanks for your help.

    As far as straps go look into RokStraps. Very handy IMO. If I'm solo I attach a north face duffel bag to the passenger handrails and I put a Honda rear rack bag I've had for a few years strapped to the passenger backrest and away I go.

    Never heard of Rokstraps; they look much better than bungees.

    I have a top box on the rack which helps secure a nice bag that acts as a good backrest.

    Someone here recommended these and I use them. They work great with a bungie net.

    DowCo Iron Rider is inexpensive and works so far

    We tend to over-pack. The Iron Rider series is modular so you can mix and match bags to fit your needs. We use 2 "main" bags. These would normally be the bottom bags that the smaller ones attach to. But all the bags have multiple attachment points. They also come with a rain cover, but I usually pack everything in a plastic bag just in case.
