Questions & Answers
It is equipped with a rain cover.
I use it on my Harley Electraglide and it fits perfectly on the rack. It's a great bag that doesn't sag and holds enough for a week's trip.
It's not something I'd recommend as a substitute. Your pet won't be able to see out because there are no ventilation flaps or windows. I don't think the bag will hold up to the wear and tear of a pet because of its construction. There are a variety of other pet-specific options available.
A rain cover is included.

Edit: ADDED 6/1: After returning from a 3500-mile road trip, I just wanted to add this note. Every night, I carried the bag on and off the bike. The rain cover was put to the test when we rode for 5 hours in a steady rain and the entire pack underneath remained completely dry. I can't think of a better recommendation than to say that we put this bag through its paces and it performed admirably. br>br>I have a 2017 CVO Street Glide with the tour pack and luggage rack installed. I considered the HD brand bag, which was a little more expensive but appeared to be less. This bag appeared to be a winner as I looked over the options and reviews. br>br>I was not dissatisfied. I considered adding a popular fastening system to make it easier to attach it to the luggage rack, but as nifty as they are, I had this on and as secure as I could hope for using the included fasteners. br>br>I'd considered adding a popular fastening system to make it easier to attach it to the luggage rack, but as nifty as they are, I had this on and as secure as I could hope for using the included fasteners when I mounted it to the They placed them in the ideal spots, and the bag has loops to clean up the straps after they've been secured. Putting it on the rack only takes about 30 seconds. It takes less than 5 seconds to remove it. br>br>I was surprised at how different the rain covers were in terms of quality. When the tour pack isn't on the bike, I use an HD bag on a luggage rack that I mount to the bike. The rain cover that Nelson Rig includes with this bag is impressive: unusually thick and stout material, roomy enough to cover the entire bag, and it integrates with the bag's fastening system with built-in strap cutouts. Even the cutouts are well-made, opening to allow the strap to pass through but closing again for a bit of extra weather protection near the opening. br>br>I think saying "For the money, this is a great bag" is an insult. This bag is simply fantastic. I could have gotten a better deal if I had paid a little more. I have no reservations in recommending it to anyone who is thinking about it. I expected it to be of high quality, but it far surpassed my expectations.
Is it really $155 for this? This bag doesn't have anything special about it. It was deformed when it arrived. Furthermore, the finish is shabby, with a blemish and a bubble in the shoddy leather material. They also used low-quality zippers that don't work well; For $155 you'd think they'd use YKK zippers at the very least. After all, it's supposed to withstand high speeds as well as the elements. One of the zippers is already separating from the other. Everywhere you look, materials are cheap. Just opening the plastic bag it came in makes my living room smell like cheap plastic. The best packaging they're willing to provide is, in effect, a clear garbage bag, and the price is $155 once again. It smells like any of the endless $20 car trunk organizers you'd buy online. br>br>The main features that drew me to this bag were that it fit two helmets, expanded, and was supposed to have a "rigid" frame, so I reluctantly paid the premium price because I assumed I'd be getting a premium product, but this isn't even close. I wouldn't pay $50 for this piece of garbage even if it wasn't deformed. The so-called rigid frame is nothing more than a cheap plastic insert found in most $15 duffle bags from department stores. This bag is clearly not meant to be used for long periods of time or on a regular basis. br>br>If anyone reading this has ever spent $150 on a bag, backpack, or other accessory, you know what I'm talking about. Then you'll know what to expect in terms of quality; this isn't even close. This bag is around $30 for what is essentially a cheap, poorly made duffle bag with straps. There are plenty of companies out there looking to separate a sucker from their money; don't be one of them and pass on this garbage, or they'll send you the same deformed piece of junk that I can't return quickly enough. Until then, I believe I'll have to put this outside because it stinks so bad.
This bag accompanied me on a 50-day, 24,000-mile motorcycle trip to 63 different capitals. br>When the ride cover failed, the manufacturer quickly replaced it en route, ensuring that my ride was not delayed in the least. The new cover held up for the rest of the journey and is still in good condition. Water would come up off the tire and get the bag wet from the bottom up because I was using it on a softail custom. I sprayed the bottom of the bag with canvas water repellent, which helped to keep the bottom dry, while the new rain cover helped to keep the top and sides dry. br>Between the road construction and the muddy wet roads, the bike and bag would become filthy and caked in mud. I went to manual car washes three times with the bike and bag. The main zipper became difficult to operate after cleaning the bag, but it worked much better after cleaning.
The fabric/materials appear to be of good quality and are of a good size. The handle strap slips over my sissy bar and installs and removes quickly, which is a plus because I don't carry it all the time. The four tie-in options are all adjustable. The downs feed through my luggage rack and clip to the bag, allowing me to pull and tighten them. It handles well at any speed and is far superior to my overstuffed back pack. Double ended zipper pulls meet and can be locked together, providing just enough protection that someone walking by can't just unzip and take your stuff, but not enough to deter a serious thief. It wouldn't be difficult for someone who was up to no good to un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un- Clip the tie downs and steal it, but if you're not leaving it unattended, it's a great option for traveling. I like it so much that I'm ordering a second one for travel and a smaller version to use on my bike when I don't need a large bag. It does, however, come with a rain cover, which I have yet to use. The rain cover can be rolled up and tucked into a side pocket. br>br>My only gripe is that the top wiggles a little above the zipper line, which is a shame because the expandable zipper came in handy when the items were too tall. br>br>I had no trouble carrying my riding jacket, a windbreaker, eight frozen pizzas, four frozen dinners, and a 20-ounce drink.
