I have an old "RALLY PACK" roll type bag but its falling apart a little. None of the local bike shops have anything to look at- yeah they'll order whatever you want, but how do I know what it will look like on the bike? I use the sissy bar with luggage rack.

Looking for pics.

Thank you!

See? I was looking at those but without seeing them live, I'd never know it would not fit over our backrest! Thanks for the info.

I had a Kuryakyn Classic Tour which just strapped on. I wasn't large enough for a helmet and other gear so I got the Kuryakyn Gran Tour. For this, I just unscrewed the sissy bar pad and ran a strap behind it. I gave the Classic Tour away but this picture shows it sitting on top of the Gran Tour.



Here is the Gran Tour

I was looking at the Toure master cruiser III sissy bar bag . Like you I was reluctant to buy without knowing if anyone has one ,and how it suits the bird . As no one posted a reply I decided not to take the risk on ordering one .

I've have a grand tour bag Kuryakym that I used another bike. It's very nice bag. So I'm looking for a sissy bar with lugagge rack. What's the model do you suggest?

I have the Triumph quick release sissy bar and luggage rack. There are aftermarket ones like Highway Hawk that would probably work too.

Here is the Fast Eddy web site for T-Bird parts:

The wide sissy bar is 526-1030 and the luggage rack is 525-003 from Fast Eddy. These are chrome. I don't know about black.

You could shoot Eddy an e-mail and ask if this would work for you.

There are other sources of Highway Hawk, direct is:

The Triumph quick release sissy bar is nicer IMO and it looks like it costs less: A9750516

That big kuryakyn bag looks like you cannot see the tail lamp if you're about 20 feet away in a car!

I'm looking at the Nelson Rigg roll type pack but I'd like to see a pic or find it in person.

I have the flashing LED diodes on either side of the license plate. If that doesn't get their attention, nothing will.
