Need an affordable waterproof duffel bag for the rear seat?

someone posted this on the klr discussion group.

thought i'd pass it along. the large or xl would fit well on the rear seat overlapping on the side cases:

LL Bean and REI also have good waterproof duffels with waterproof zippers.

I'm not sure I would go so far as to call it affordable but the BMW lifestyles duffel I use packs an incredible amount of clothing and gear, is water tight and has nice loops for attaching with straps and the like. I have about 20K miles of using mine and never a drop inside. It looks like they actually thought a motorcycle rider might want to use one of these things. I strap a small tail trunk over the top of mine for things I don't want to keep in the tank bag but need access from time to time during the day. Using H2W straps, I have seen 120+ mph with the bag on my pillion seat on the S and no problems. Sock Monkey seems to think its a neat perch as well.

or, try this from REVpack.

I use one on the RT-P [fits nicley on the radio box and I still have access to the side-cases]

but as I recall the Revpac is not rated as waterproof.... only water resistant, and I beleive even that requires a raincover. ??

BMWNA just put out a bulletin about some new soft bags. Both with their typical water proof interior liner. One for the tails of most bikes. The other is a duffle style.

Not sure where "affordable" falls in the spectrum of life choices, but the Helen Two Wheels bags ( www.helen2wheels.com ) lash down tight and have performed admirably for me, and are reasonably priced. Heavy duty materials. Good stuff. As I recall, she's got three sizes: medium, large, and extra large. The last of these is HUGE. Probably too large unless you're heading for Ulan Bator for a year or some such. Middle or "large" size is good for about a week or two of no laundry. No relation, ownership, etc. Besides, I like to support other riders. A hint: if you buy her bag(s), buy her lashing straps and don't use bungees. Her straps make the bags much more stable.
