Headed to Sturgis and looking for advice to find the best luggage components to buy for the money. Saddleman had been recommended. I have a 2008 Heritage. Looking forward to what advice is out there!

 

Bang for the buck, the T-Bag is the best bet.
You're probl only using is for trips, right?
Those things are slick. They fit over the pass backrest, tie down easy AND they're waterproof.

 

T-Bags work best for me too. Very usefull on a long haul. I use a Tour Master, around 100 bucks and you will get your money's worth out of it. Plenty of pockets for maps, cameras etc and they are waterproof.

 

I bought this for my Heritage - its huge, waterproof, inexpensive, and matches the bike:

Get an old military sea bag from a surplus store. I can pack a BUNCH of stuff in mine.

 

I have the same bag....very nice and matches up well. It's not leather, but for the price it's perfect. Holds a lot of stuff too. Strapped on and tied down, it's very stable.

 

Here is the bag I use I just got back from 2500 mile trip went through several down pour rains thunder storms and with the rain cover over it everything stayed dry it is a T Bag !

 

I have had real good luck with Nelson Rigg packs. I bought one in 2003 and a bigger one this year to take to Sturgis. I have run them thru rain and they have kept everything dry. They have several different sizes.

 

Really? That surprises me, (respectfully ) I'm going to check the tags, it sure stinks like leather!

 

Well whaddaya know - "PVC Leather look, better than leather".
