Here is the deal, I need an overnight sized bag that is easy to strap on and remove from my KLR. There are so many freak'n bags out there it's hard to decide so I thought some experienced owners might be able to help.

Cheers

P.S. Please don't recomend Wolfman products I'm on a budget and if I hear anymore great things about them I'll either :shoot: or just go and buy one and then the wife will be :wi:.

av8tr, I've got a strap on tailbag about the size of DR Johns that I dont use, it's basicly brand new and comes with a raincover too. I paid about a $100 and will let it go for half that. It's made by Joe Rocket.

I got one that I don't need anymore. I used it to carry groceries home. It's white, waterproof, comes with two handles that tie together and says stupidstore on the side.:spl:

If you want to look cooler I got one that says BC liquorstore.:cool:

Yes a Wolfman Alfa bag is $150, but your wife won't care because she will be too excited about the gift you brought home for her in the Alfa Bag.

I have an Ortleib Dry duffel bag. It's about 40 litres, totally water/dust proof, low profile (sort of a flattened oval cross section, roll top opens along the long side, easy to get into. Paid $80 from a kayak shop in Williams Lake. It;s the yellow bag on the back of my bike. Brian (the guy beside my bike) got a black one. They come in small, medium or large. Mine is a medium. I use the bag alone for a weekend, without camping gear, or add the panniers, tank bag and tank panniers for longer trips with camping gear.

Island Hopper: Thanks for the offer, the Joe Rocket bags are a bit too small. I need to fit a pair size 13 shoes and two days worth of clothes in it. Much appreciated though.

Yak: Thanks for the pic. I like that duffel! I think I'm going to get a larger rear rack off of ebay and one of those duffels to go on it.

My duffel straps on the stock rear rack just fine. I thought about one of those "Carrier Decks" but after trying this out, I don't see the point. Pack it full and it rides nicely. I feed straps under the rack and cinch it down. If the bag isn't full, you just roll the closure tighter and it still works. Save your money for chrome! (just kidding - save it for beer!)
