Nelson Rigg Route 1 Destination Backrest/Sissy Bar Rack Bag; Fits Harley Davidson, Indian, Yamaha & Suzuki Motorcycles

Excellent product. It looks great, holds up well, and carries plenty of stuff. It's easy to install on a smaller luggage rack and attaches securely to the sissy bar and luggage rack. With no luggage rack you'll need a relatively inexpensive (16.00 or so) underseat mounting system. It's easy to take on and off. It's not meant to function as a backpack but does have a carry handle. The pack can be divided into two compartments or used as one large container. The only thing it lacks is a pick to hold a coke or something, but there are external zippered pockets so this isn't a big deal. I'm very happy with it after looking at several other options from some other popular brands. It's large, so if you don't like saddle bags you can always get something smaller for day to day use if this is bigger than what you want to ride with on a regular basis. For this type of luggage, you'll be hard pressed to beat this, especially for the price. It also comes with a nice waterproof cover although the bag itself is pretty resistant.

Took my first trip, four days, with this pack. My wife stayed home so I mounted the pack on the passenger seat of my ‘24 BMW R1250RT to centralize as much of the weight as possible. It fit securely there and can also be secured on the rear rack. Quality and features are very good. Made use of the rain cover on the way home. Very satisfied with this purchase!

I have only used this one time. The luggage is sturdy and easy to secure to a backrest and luggage rack. I checked it on the road and never had adjust it or re secure it "400 miles round trip". It has plenty of space for your clothes and your passengers stuff to go away for 3 to 4 days. We tend to over pack and it had plenty of room. The pockets on the outside were nice to stash small items that you might want access to along the way. The cover fits well and secures well. I don't have any experience with any other brands but this seems to be a good investment.

***edited to add: it can carry a 40-pound box of cat litter measuring 13" x 14" x 9 1/2". I needed a large bag for my bike. It's my only transportation, and I sometimes need to carry 30+ pounds of camera gear or groceries. I *really* like that the divider between top and bottom compartments zips down; this makes it so that my laptop bag fits in here with room for my leather jacket when it gets too warm, and it's stable enough even sitting on the passenger seat that I don't worry it'll tip over. It attaches to the bike easily. In the photos, you can see that I don't have a pad on my sissy-bar; I removed it, but this bag fits either way. The four straps to tie it down at each bottom corner work well and are plenty long enough to pass under the seat and to the other side, if you wish, or would work well passing under a fender rack. I've been riding for 40+ years, and this is probably the most easy-to-use, easy-to-install bag I've ever had. It is YUGE, so it does catch the wind a bit, and I wouldn't recommend putting this behind the sissy bar on a luggage rack if you put 30+ pounds of gear in it .. balance is affected a bit. The one "drawback" I found is that the top cover is made to be semi-rigid, but doesn't hold its shape when it's warmer than say 80 degrees F as shown in the photos. This is only when empty; the cover flexes back to a normal shape when there's stuff in there. Stitching seems well-done; materials are pretty top-notch; overall weight is fairly light for a bag this big. I do like the reflective piping but wish there was more reflective material on the sides and back -- it did come with a rain cover, which I haven't yet had to use, and the cover itself does have what looks like reflective lettering on the back.

This is a super bag. It is plenty big for all my stuff and is especially made for strapping down to my luggage rack and sissy bar. It is water resistant, but also comes with a rain cover.

Awesome bag, lots of real easy

Bought it to go on a 2,000 road trip since my tour pack was not finished being painted. Got it pretty quickly. Just before the trip my tour pack came in so I used both. Had plenty of extra storage on my Road Glide. Bought the seat mount separately and learned that you really gotta put some elbow into it when pulling down each strap otherwise it will lean while riding even though it is secure. Also you may want to cover your saddle bag lids otherwise the harness may rub a small scratch into the lid. Product overall is solid, glad I purchased it over the Harley branded one. You do need to purchase the seat harness if you’re planning to sit it on the passenger seat. I’ve seen plenty of people use the bag instead of a tour pack but that requires having the luggage rack sissy bar setup which I did not have and was much more expensive than the seat mount.

I am shocked by how big this is. I traveled for work for a week, with work cloths and play clothes, plus all the other accoutrements, I had way more than enough room, and did some shopping while I was there. I never even expanded it! I could live out of this for months! I wish the straps were removable so I could change them. I only used the 2 back ones, because the front didn't reach anything to mount it, I had it on the back seat, since I have a tour pack too. On my way home I spent 15 hours in the rain, and everything inside was still dry!

La fond rigide est de très mauvaise qualité. Il c’est brisé dès que j’en ai fait l’essaie sur ma moto sans aucun bagage à l’intérieur et il n’y a pas moyen de le remplacer. Beaucoup de rangement et c’est très facile d’accéder aux choses qui sont dans le fond du sac. Je le recommande, je le recommande.

Second bag from Nelson Rigg, love the product, sturdy.

Unfortunately not good! First time I strapped it on my back sissy bar when it was packed and under weight the plastic bottom shattered and broken into May pieces and can’t access it or fix it. And also the top compartment zipper I noticed on my last day of my 8 day road trip is coming apart 😬😔. It seemed very durable but I will have to reach out to Nelson Riggs now and see what they can do for me. Not good for only it’s first use!!
