Motorcycle Tail Bags

A motorcycle tail bag is an all-around accessory that you can use for transporting some essential items on the back of your bike on an everyday basis when commuting or going on long-distance journeys. Our online store offers a huge variety of durable and reliable motorcycle tail bags of different types, sizes, and materials. The majority of models have expandable compartments and built-in waterproof rain covers. Here you're sure to find an option that can meet all of your requirements and fit your bike perfectly. These bags come from reputable manufacturers such as Dowco, Chase Harper, Nelson-Rigg, Kuryakyn, The Cycle Guys, and many others.

By using one of our tail bags that you can strap to the sissy bar, cargo rack, or directly to the back seat of your bike, you can expand the storage capacity of your motorcycle with a removable sturdy and secure compartment. These accessories work equally well on city streets, highways, or off the beaten path. You can choose a large tail bag of up to 45 liters in volume, which is a perfect size for airplane carry-on luggage. It can even feature a telescopic handle and low-profile wheels for easy handling when traveling on foot. Or you can go with a compact, low-profile, aerodynamically-designed rear seat bag.

High-quality motorcycle tail bags can feature reflective elements to improve your visibility during dark hours thus making your night rides much safer. You can even use it in everyday life by transforming it into a backpack or duffel bag. Just hook up a pair of shoulder straps or a carrying sling to D-rings, and you are good to go. Such bags have a quick-release system that attaches the bag to the bike with a durable lockable zipper. Many models feature rigid removable dividers for the main storage space. Without them, you can accommodate a full-face helmet or other large items inside.

Many motorcycle tail bags are made from durable nylon or other synthetic fibers. Some models may come with water-resistant linings, but almost all of them come with tethered rain covers for reliable protection from the elements. Compact, low-profile tail bags are designed for those who need to keep only a few essentials at hand, such as a flashlight, Swiss Army Knife, medications, reading glasses, and so on. For extended trips, consider choosing a larger tail bag that can carry all your gear. We have models with many convenient features such as side pockets, mesh dividers, padded storage areas for laptops and tablets, easy-access stash pockets for small items, and so on.

The majority of bike tail bags use a simple mounting system that consists of bungee cords and straps with snap-, D- or G-hooks. The installation process should not take more than ten minutes. By using straps or cords, you can secure the bag to your luggage rack or the base of the passenger seat. Make sure that straps are protected from heat and mechanical damage. If your motorcycle has a sissy bar or backrest, you can secure your tail bag with an additional adjustable strap by wrapping it around the bar. After the installation is completed, tie down all loose strap ends to avoid their contacts with moving parts and exhaust pipe.
