Saddlemen TS3200DE Tail Bag

[Louballs]

Hey Everyone,

Just got this bag for a long trip I have coming up, the Saddlemen TS3200DE Tactical Deluxe. Runs $180 on Amazon. They have a non-tactical for $160 (which I didn't know at the time or I would've bought that). The tactical has extra loops on it to attach other items to. Fits great on the GT. Comes with 4 mounting straps, but likely you would only need 2. The straps can easily mount to the passenger pegs as the easiest point. You could also strap it to the sissy bar as well for GT owners. Seems very well constructed, has lots of room, and also comes with a rain cover. Might also serve as a nice back rest!

Fitted this one today, a Viking Large Sissy Bar Bag.
Bit bigger than I expected but will be good when having a few days away.
The saddleman looks good but I find it difficult to get on and off the bike with baggage on the pillion seat - age thing I guess.

Bag looks good but bike rack looks very interesting. Care to tell us a little about it?

Hi. The rack is a genuine Triumph accessory for the 3R model, fitted as standard to the GT model.

Sorry, I should of been more specific, meant the wooden tire track rack under the bike.

I should of guessed what you meant, sorry.
The garage mover is something I made up some years ago to suit smaller bikes and I had to do extensive alterations to suit the rocket. It really does make it so easy to move bike around in the garage. Before I retired I was a structural engineer and worked on the theory if two bolts will do use four!
I have no drawings but attach a few photographs including a couple before I altered it. Hope it is of some interest.

Very nice! Looks like you got some wood working skills. I might have to copy your rig for my Rocket. Thanks.
