Soft tail bags and panniers

[Little Ed]

I just purchased a Mototrek sport tail bag for my NCX and found it to fit really well. Also appears to very well made, holds its' shape extremely well when empty and looks good on the bike. Is takes 20 seconds to install or remove (at destination), looks good and has enough space to carry my lunch, books, etc. It seems to be rock solid on the tail. Due to the high cost, at this time I am not willing to purchase the hard luggage but am seriously considering either the mototrek panniers and roll bag or the Cortech super 2.0 series for longer trips.

Has anyone purchased any of the soft bag products for the NCX?

Hi Ed

there is at least one in this forum. Search for it.

How about yours? Can you post a photo? A picture is worth a thousand words...

Happy, I will try taking a picture of the tail bag on the bike and uploading it.

Pics of the Mototrek Sport Tail Bag. Quick on/off with the bungee so I take it into the house or at work. Appears very stable, and does not move aroound with the antislip pad on the bottom. Also, does not contact the tail plastic extension, so no scratches as well. Back plastic connecter of bungee fits perfectly and easily on rear seat handle, other end connects easily at the rear footpeg assy. The entire inner chamber will extend out adding and additional 5 to 6" of width/capacity

Good looking and durable. The product description says it has a lifetime warranty!

Just tried my BMW F650(single) tailbag... fits like it was built for it.

Has anyone else tried soft side bags(panniers) yet?

I saw on the Twisted Throttle site they have a set of soft bags and mounts just for the NCX... $315 bucks ...

Those look prety cool. I like the way that the "rack arms" can be removed quickly without any tools when not in use (see the 2 videos at the bottom of the page).

Those SW Motech bags look cool. Anyone else have any cheaper options? I can't really afford the hard bags yet.

I have the same tail bag as the OP...but I pop my pillion seat and hook the bungees together under it and then close the seat. Works great for me so far.

I'm currently using tour master bags, but I want to add the blaze rods. Twisted throttle sells them here in the states and won't sell the bars alone.
