Hello what tour bag have you found that fits the sissy bar rack the best?
Thanks for your advice.
 
I use a river road on mine .
It velcros around the sissy bar perfect ,easy on easy off .
They come in different sizes and clip together and are not that expensive .
I love mine and it looks good .
 
none so far the lean on the sissy bar tends to collapse the the base of any bag I have put on there even after putting a piece of 5 ply the size of the base it was still a compromise so now I have a top-box or as the 'mericans call em a trunk I just remove the sissy bar leaving the rack behind and mount the trunk on (4 bolts) to the rack, the trunk has a bigger backrest for the missus as well:D
 
There's a picture of it in my photo gallery on my old graphite rocket .
It is the smallest size one they make larger
On my grey rocket I had the short sissy bar on my new rocket I have the tall and the strap fits below the pad now
 
This Tourmaster bag fits the bike like it was made for it. I don't know the particular model though, it came with the bike. The picture below of it mounted on the bike is without the top zip on bag.
 
That's a nice bag. I destroyed the last one I had so I ordered a Matazu with the luggage rack and wrap around back cushion all for 228 bucks. Spent alot af time on forums including HD and this one before deciding to go this route. Not a big fan of trunks but since the Touring has a quick release sissy bar I'll only use it for trips anyways. I'll make a video of the entire install and post it in case anyone else is interested in it too.

Got the tour back installed. It was an easy install and the paint matches pretty close. I got the wrap around seat for the wife but she didnt care for it so Im leaving the regular one on there. Now I can just carry a duffle bag on our Durango/ Four Corners trip next week and strap it on the new luggage rack. This thing was cheap but after riding around town with the wife for a bit we are actually impressed with it.

I modified the tourmaster bag to fit the taller backrest and made a slanted bottom support so the bag is properly sitting and held against the backrest with two 2inch velcro strap and one upper eyelet pin nothing moves . tourmaster gets the nod it is well made and large enough for two weeks riding (got two kentucky drive side saddlebags also)
