Tail Bag?

Just curious what you all are using for a tail bag. I used to have a BMW motorrad tail bag on my k1200s and it was fantastic. I sold that with the bike though, so now I need a new one. What fits best on the vfr? I see an OGIO one gets rather good reviews on Amazon and it is only about $70.

Ogio makes a nice one. Also, Cortech. Icon as well.

Thanks for the link, monk.

I see that new enough doesn't sell the held bag. Where did you purchase yours?

Also, cortech now has the super 2.0:http://www.motorcycl...2_tail_bag.html

Has anyone used that?

I just recently decided to go with the kriega us40 combo. Very happy with my decision!

I was very happy with this one:

It expands to double the height and has internal folding "stiffeners" in there when you go big.   Tough too, as the right side survived being dragged down the Nurburgring at 60 mph. I used it as carry on luggage as well.

A few years ago, one manufacturer came out with a hard shell (plastic) tail bag that sort of tapered to a point at the back , like a cafe racer's solo seat tail. It expanded vertically with expansion panels and zippers if needed. Haven't seen it much out there on bikes or in the stores anymore. Anyone try those? Are they still available? Interesting idea that's different from the usual cordura tail bags we see out there, but it did not seem to have caught on for some reason.......

When you guys are mounting your tail bags, are you just securing it to the seat, or are you strapping down to some mounting point on the bike? I assume the underseat exhaust makes it a bit tricky to tie down. 

I like the Held Speedy linked above as it appears Monk is securing it just by looping it under the seat. There is also the Held Iconic, which I believe is just a smaller version of the Speedy. Held makes really nice stuff, so I'm inclined to go with them.
