Rear bag
Man, this bike is great, I've put a little over 700 miles now and I'm impressed. I was very skeptical coming off the 1098 to the 14. This bike is the best of both worlds. Anyway I'm going to take a weekend trip around the southern tip of Florida, through the everglades and I wanted some extra storage. Does anyone have any recommendations on a rear bag or something half way decent I can attach to the rear rack?
Thanks

As for a rear bag, I would like something low profie, just tall enough to put in a face shield. About the size of the radio box on the BMW cop bikes.

I saw this on eBay. The seller is local to me so I'm trying to contact him to have a look at it. Seems like an interesting alternative to a top box for one up trips when I need lots of extra storage.
