accessories » BMW 30 litre tail bag

Thinking about getting the 30 litre BMW tailbag. As my wife often rides pillion I would like to know how well it fits on the RS rack. With the rack tucked into the mounting pocket on the bag does it encroach on the pillion seat at all. I have a 50 litre rollbag that I use on holidays, the BMW bag would be used for days out or weekends away combined with panniers. This was discussed on the old forum but can't access that anymore. Some pictures would be good if poss.

We have 2 of those. The older version, but they fit perfectly on our RSses.

We have them strapped with 2 lines and that's enough.

Hey Mark, I have that bag on my RS. Got it specifically for my wife, as it gives her a better feeling of security when riding. As can be seen in the pics already posted, it doesn't intrude into passenger space very much at all. I tend to use all four straps. But that's just my preference

Thanks guys, looks like a good fit, just need to make sure it's not too big for day trips, I suppose a bit of extra space wouldn't go amiss and the quality is very good

Does anyone know if the RS seat bag will fit on the rack ok? Not sure what straps etc it comes supplied with.

For day trips a smaller bag might be better, however the tail bag is quite light already (compared to the top case). My experience is that extra room will always be used, for some extra drinks or snacks or a spare set of gloves...

I have one of those bags on my 2009 F650GS. While I am not enthusiastic about the looks on that bike, it seems to be well made and practical. Plus, the price was fair - for a BMW accessory. I think it would attach to most flat rear racks. The bag has a number of attachment options.

For not a lot of money you can also have the Nelson Riggs tail bag for day rides.

Do you have any close-up pics showing how you strapped down the rear of the bag?

I find the bag really practical. It swallows my helmet while I nip into the supermarket and then the supplies for the trip home.
