    Definitely. On the oversize rack it has room to roll back and forth. The 19 inch width is just right to not interfere with the antenna.

    I bought the Cruiser Bag which was made in Canada, but is no longer made, still the Bikers Friend is basically the same design, a large PVC pipe covered in vinal with removable zippered ends and an adjustable back rest.
    Here is a Cruiser Bag on my VTX1800, now I use it on the F. I've had it for over 13 yrs and is good as new.


    This is a better pic of the Cruiser Bag(not my scoot).


    The Bikers Friend has much more stuff than my Cruiser Bag and if I did not already have the Cruiser Bag I would definitely be looking at the Bikers Friend
    Here is a link to see what is all available.

    I doubt you would have a problem! I have a "Home Brewed Rack" which I consider large and if my Golf Bag will fit my Cruiser Bag will

    Some pics for reference! I have the antenna removed as I never use the radio

    I've got a depth charge bag from a site called "The Lazy Rider" or something like that. I have had it for 9 years & I think they are based in Texas. It fits good on my MP3 rack just have to open it on the LH side opposite the antenna. Also fits good on the passenger seat & has a lean pillow if you need it.

    It attaches with small bungies. It is "rain resistant" but not waterproof. Got caught in a terrible rain while riding in the Keys a few years ago & some of the clothes inside got a little wet.

    Place your cloths/gear in a 13 Gal. plastic trash bag before placing them in your "Depth Charge Bag" and you'll be "golden"

    Bobby, thanks for posting this!

    It looks like you have the straps connected to your rack. Will this work for a bike without a rack, and/or without having to remove the seat? I am debating between this bag and the GranTour by Kuryakyn. I am looking for something to mount to the passenger seat without too much hassle while also providing driver back support.

    I'm sure it will fit but you will have to figure out how to tie it down. The tie downs are designed more for cruisers but will work on anything with some creativity.

    They have a good return policy. If you can't figure out how to strap it down or don't like it they will take it back. As long as you don't take it on a trip.

    I have the Lazy Rider bag and wouldn't go on a trip solo without it. Been through some big rain storms and nothing inside has ever gotten wet.
