I've got the "single seat" Corbin Gunfighter on my '84. Due to the rounded shape of the seat behind the rider's saddle, I'm concerned that a tail bag might not be able to be mounted securely. I've never had a tail bag before, so I'm not really familiar with how they mount.
Is anyone here using a tail bag with a single Gunfighter? If so, I'd appreciate some input as to what type of bag, how it works, etc. Some pictures would also be great. Thanks a lot.

My Yamaha tail bag sat on the tail, and bungeed to the loops made for it on the subframe.
Many tail bags are similar, not to be confused with 'seat' bags out there. Some of those strap to the seat or around it.

My Joe Rocket Velocity tailbag fits my one-up seat (gunfighter) better than my two-up seat (gunfighter-lady). As long as its bungeed down snug enough, it ain't going anywhere.

I have the Gunfighter solo seat. I use to bungee my Chase Harper tail bag no problem. See my Avatar.
EDIT TO ADD: As you can see, there's plenty of room.

I have the OGIO -- see post http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=3477.0 (http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=3477.0) Its not on a Corbin Solo but the way it mounts I don't see it going anywhere if I did put my corbin on. I have the straps mounted on the frame and they come out around the body work. The rears are mounted on the grab rails....very solid not matter what seat is mounted.

Yes they are. More pics in my Gallery.
Thanks for the info. I ended up ordering some Fieldsheer compact sport saddlebags and a Motocentric duffel-type tail bag. Hopefully they'll mount up without too much trouble. I'll post some pictures and info when I get them on the bike.
