R1200ST tailbag ?

[TowJam]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tailbag for the 1200ST? I don't always need the panniers and I don't like tank bags so I'm looking for any alternatives for something that will hold cellphone, gloves, bottle of water, etc.

Take a look at the ZTechnik Storage Pod.

You rock!

 

That's EXACTY what I was looking for and they even have a picture of it installed on an ST.

 

(Guess I just found my Father's Day gift to myself.)

I had one of those. It seemed like the perfect solution. But..... I couldn't get it's generic straps to hold onto the seat very well. I returned it.

I also spent a bit of time looking for this and too thought the Storage pod was ideal, but couldn't get one in the UK. I've opted for a touratech tailpack, which I bolted to the rear rack. It's perfect, but small. It takes my fist aid kit, radio, phone puncture repair aerosol, chain & padlock plus my phone also plugs in there for the autocom system.

As noted, I bolted this through the base of the bag rather than rely upon the straps. It's a permanent feature on my bike and is very handy.

Thanks. You may have saved me some frustration as my dealer only sells them on a "special order" basis and has a no return policy on special orders. Since I ride solo, my ideal solution would be a Corbin Smuggler trunk but given the low number of ST owners, I don't see that ever happening.

Looks like a good solution but I don't have the rear rack.

I'm in that same boat. I rode through hollister this weekend and the thought crossed my mind to take up their offer to leave my bike there for a week while they make a smuggler trunk. Either that or I attempt to make one myself from fiberglass.

if your looking for a little more space check out the chicane tail bag. I use one with my RT and works great! holds down good and actually if its filled acts as somewhat of a back rest.

My GF got the Chicane for her ST. It worked great both on the rack and on the seat. Nice space, good lines, and a built in rain cover. Plus, at $79, it is a good price.

Jim,

I'm almost afraid to ask but what are those brightly colored objects in the cockpit?

The pink thing is the GPS sunshade, and the other "items" are stuffed animals.

 

Despite that, and other "feminine touches", Tina rides hard and fast. I have to be on my toes when she is in the lead.
