Tail Bag




I wasn't digging my alternative saddlebag option, which wasn't really a true saddlebag anyway.

I went to the local surplus store and picked up a $7 canvas army gas mask bag, and a $2 bungee cord. I removed the seat and looped the bungee through either end of the frame. Then I just attached the bungee hooks to either side of the bag and voilĂ ! A tail bag!

Of course there not a ton of room in there, but it can hold a cable lock for my helmet, a leatherman-like multi-tool, a disc lock and a little room left over for other small items. Plus I still have the cargo net for bigger stuff. This ought to hold me over until I fork out some cash for saddlebag mounts.
