Anybody with the licks solo bag or one similar know if you have to remover the passenger peg? It looks like you cant use when riding 2 up. Also how easy is it to remove when not needed.

 

I don't own one, but the people at Lick's say that all you have to do is put at least a one inch spacer between the peg bracket and the frame and they will work just fine. I have seen where some people say they used a 2" spacer.

 

I've got a Licks' Solo for running around and going to work and one of these for roadtrips.

The tail bag sits nicely on the fender, quickly detaches, and IMO looks pretty good. I can fit Jeans, 4 T shirts, 3 socks, 2 LS T Shirts and a pair of shoes in there and theres room to spare....thats about all I need for 3-4 days.

 

I was always a fan of the fork bag and swingarm bag. Not to keen on saddles

 

I need something exactly like that! So it doesn't scratch or hurt the fender at all? I don't have a luggage rack on my 48 and don't want one. Right now, I'm just using a backpack.

 

It's got a built in rubber pad to protect the paint, I fit a netbook in it today which surprised me. I ran two straps around my signal lights and the other two between the fender and struts and the bag doesn't move and has not damaged the paint whatsoever.
Ogio has a lifetime guarantee on the zippers which is great as that seems to always be the thing that fails first.

 

Now that is a slick ingenious idea, I hate to steal ideas, but I might have to make an exception with this one!
Was there a thread or writeup on this anywhere?

 

About that "tail bag..." I saw one of those yesterday at a local HD dealer and was seriously thinking about it. I don't want to put a rack on my bike (solo seat), but I could really use some kind of bag for short overnight trips. Does that special bottom on that bag REALLY not damage the paint at all? Seems like it could.

 

I bought it for a 3 day/2 night approx. 1200 mile ride we did in Sept. I packed it til it looked like it would burst, which it didn't, and slapped it on the back of the Nightster. No muss no fuss, on and off in a flash and no damage so far. Thats about all I can tell you at this point Thump

 

I feel like an idiot. I made that second post, because I didn't realize I already asked you the exact same question a few posts earlier. LOL! You answered already.

Then I went back into the second post to mention that I'm an idiot, but I put my comments in the quoted post.

Jesus Christ... I'm nowhere near new to this Internet stuff (been on boards since 96 or so), but I feel like a moron. I guess I should really pay more attention.

Thanks for the answer (twice.) I saw a bag like this yesterday at a local stealer and thought about it. I may just have to pick that up. Seems perfect for me!
