Navigator Motorcycle Tail Bag

I bought this bag as my BF has had one for a few years. Very durable, easy to carry. Fits on the back of a sport bike perfectly. You can cram alot of stuff in there if you pack right. Love the open pockets on the side for quick grabs.

**update**
I originally gave this a 5-star, but have since given it a 3-star for the following:
• used it for one trip, and packed for an over night weekend trip. Everything was great, size, etc. except for the handle. One of the fastener has already pulled away (see last photo). A friend had warned me about this, but I thought that wouldn’t happen to me since my stuff is light. But sadly it did. It has not broken off totally YET, but it’s broken on one rivet. So the only way to carry this when you take it off the bike, is useless. Keep an eye on this.
Also the handle is right in the way of my tail lights so when I was riding at night, a car drove next to me to tell me my bag was covering my break light - which is dangerous!!
This bag has so much potential but it’s still lacking. Hoping they will revamp this to make it better.

Fits MT03 without needing any solid rack system.

I needed a luggage system that would work for a naked sport bike (Yamaha MT03). The problem was, there wasn’t much available options that would work, or that didn’t cost so much. I bought another soft luggage system that was so awkward and was a pain to tie up, or required additional mounting. I tried the Rhinowalk saddle bags in 48L and it required additional “universal side saddle attachment” which didn’t work as well as I’d like to (cost more than this bag).

This bag was recommended to me by a friend, and so far I love it.

Easy to install, feels sturdy (for a $100 bag). Things that could be improved on:
• Zippers are not YKK, so I don’t know how well they’ll last.
• rain cover is attached to a small pocket (which is great), but it’s attached to the long end of the shell, when it should be attached to the middle, making it easier to slip over the bag. I can/will fix this simple design flaw on my own.

Large enough for my ultra light backpacking camping gear.
Doesn’t interfere with my exhaust. Sits well on the bike and feels secure.
note: I’ve only tested it in the parking lot, but for actual trip I will attach Rok Straps or something else as redundancy.
So far, it’s the best solution I’ve tried.
Would recommend.

I’m not being paid to review, I just really like this bag. My MT03 is considered a small bike, and being a naked sport style, it’s not usually meant to be used as an adventure vehicle - which I’m using it for, so manufacturers don’t tend to make luggage for it, so it’s been hard to find a solution, and I think this may be it. I really like that it doesn’t dip down the side too much or sit too high to throw my balance off or get in the way of my OEM exhaust.

If you’re in this situation, I recommend this.

The build quality overall seems really nice, but the points to attach to a bike or a little awkward on my DR650. To use the strap that's supposed to go under your seat it has to be way too far up on my bike, but if you put it on the tail like the name would suggest, there aren't any straps to strap it around the rear fender or a rack. The only straps are two in the front that you strap diagonally somewhere onto the frame of the bike, and then two in the back that just go straight back to strap onto tail lights I guess? The Velcro on the bottom is fine if you are strapping it around your seat like it's meant to be, but if you want to put it on a rack or the actual "tail" of the bike I wouldn't trust it.

Nothing really pops out. It’s a good product.

Perfect sized bag for expeditions. I ride for weeks on end, travelling the world and this is the perfect sized bag. Big enough to hold everything I need (I travel light) and still be small enough to use as carry-on. It won't fit tents, sleeping bags and camping gear, but it fits a bit of spare clothing, cold weather gear, a laptop and camera and a few odds and ends. I'm headed to Africa for 6 weeks, riding around the country, I guess I'll find out how durable it is, but it seems sturdy.
