Sissy bar bag. Help!!!

[pirate]

I've been searching all evening on here trying to find if this has been discussed already, but I haven't had a lot of success. So, I apologize in advance if this has been talked about.
My wife and I are taking the Nomad on a trip this weekend to celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary. Since getting my Nomad three weeks ago, I haven't tried putting the sissy bar bag I used on my VTX on the Nomad. Well, I went out this evening to try putting it on, and it won't fit. It's a Nelson-Rigg bag, but the backrest of the Nomad is too wide for the bag. So, I need to order a new bag so I have it for this weekend. I told my wife she can have both saddlebags for her stuff, so I need a sissy bar bag for me. What do you all have, and would you recommend it to me? Since I'm in North Dakota, it only takes two days for orders from Dennis Kirk to arrive. They have lots of choices in their catalog from Saddleman, to T-bags, to Kuryakyn. If I order a bag tomorrow (Wednesday), I'll have it on Friday.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I'd like a bag that is pretty good size, not a day-tripper type.

I ordered one off ebay the other day, got it two days later. It is a nice bag, expandable without frame work. Wish i could remeber where i found it. Hold that thought, i'll go check

Check here also. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, as it discusses mounting a windshield bag between the license plate and the rear seat.

PC, if you have a CycleGear anywhere near you, or want to consider ordering it, this is the bag I have and it works great with the larger backrest.

Does that bag fit over/around the large Nomad backrest?

[cactusjack]

Yes, the unique design and shape of the Nomad passenger backrest is not all that practical. I bought a T-Bags expandable Tahoe bag for mine.



Are you looking for something like this?

[pirate]

CJ- Yes, that is the type of bag I'm looking for. I see Dennis Kirk sells that Tahoe bag and it has an optional top roll bag. Do you have the roll bag as well? Also, can you get quite a bit of stuff in the Tahoe bag? It looks like a pretty nice bag.

[cactusjack]

No, I didn't buy the roll bag that goes with it. It is a very nice bag and will hold lots of stuff and seems to be very well-constructed.

Shop around on the internet for the best price. I paid $177.95 for mine a few months ago.

Note that you'll need to obtain a luggage rack to use it as mine shows or you'll have to turn it around and have it rest on the seat. It will work, but it's harder to make it work with the backrest that way.

dennis kirk sells a roll bag 10 inches for like $30, if you get the tahoe roll bag its like $40, they are the same.

I've owned T-Bags that I really liked, but now have a Saddlemen Deluxe Sissy Bar bag that is huge and works great. The pouches on the back also zip off and make separate bags too. Comes with a roll bag.

That bag is made by Carrol Leather. We have one like it. It will expand and you can put several days of clothes in it. Sells for around $125.00 retail.

it fits perfectly snug on the oem backrest. Looked at alot of bags, think this is a good, functional bag for a reasonable price

Thanks for the input everyone. I ordered the T-bags Tahoe from Dennis Kirk this afternoon. I found some places online that were a little cheaper, but I've never been disappointed by the customer service of Dennis Kirk. Plus, it will be here on Friday. I do have a luggage rack on my Nomad now, so I will be good to go.
