Damn..I ordered the tailbag after reading the positive things you guys had to say and I'm still waiting...that was 11 days ago

I'm burned out on the backpack idea, and the overnight duffel bag I've been using is to sloppy. If it wasn't for the stuff I keep in it, I wouldn't care if it blew off the back. I'll just try to be patient.

I've had the bag for about 8 days now....I like the way it looks, it holds most of my crap and I've become comfortable with the fact that it won't blow off at 70 mph....

I have four snap couplers (one on each corner, yet nothing to connect them to, should the bag have come with straps? Or are they a seperate item? The bungees work great, but I'd like the option of strapping it under the seat, as I'm sure that was the intention of the couplers.

I believe the snaps are there to connect it to their sport saddlebags...

Thanks Red01

They look pretty sharp...clean, and without any frilly stuff hanging off of the flaps (the Harley look?).

After reading all of these posts on the Cortech Sport Saddlebags I thought of getting them as well. I ordered them Friday and recieved them late yesterday afternoon. Got up today, installed them and bye bye backpack...LOL. After the install they look like they could go back a bit furthere, but the signals are in the way for that(seems like a good project of replacing them with new ones in a different location). Mine came with 4 straps and no bungees. The straps were very easy to place and get snug.I will be testing it out this evening out on the interstate.

Hey, KoolDawg6, looks like you mounted them on there backwards.
(See the pic in my post above.)

OOPSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Could you tell I was eager to get them on there?!?!?!?!?! Thank you. Will go switch them around now.

Picked up the saddlebags and tailbag a few days ago and, yes, they are terrific. but I found out something really nice. I also have a new Corbin Gunfighter and Lady seat for my '05 Bandit 1200S, and the connecting straps for the two Cortech bags actually fit UNDER the seat! Just remove the seat, set the bags and connect the straps and push the seat back on. The pipe clearance is still there at 2 1/2 inches and mom doesn't have to sit on the straps, which makes her very happy. And if mom is happy, I'm happy!

I have the Cortech Tourmaster Tri-bag system. Not as sporty looking as the sport saddle bags, but they work well. I'll keep these till they wear out. I now keep them on the Bandit full time. I can stuff my big heavy First Gear jacket with liner in the tail bag.
