OGIO tail bag

I bought this tail bag ..it works great with the FJ - OGIO Stealth Tail bag ( google search with the latter to find it) .

It was about 60 bucks - it expands and has multiple pouches -one on each side which I use to store the stuff I want easy access to - ie camera - wallet - phone. It also has a rain cover that hides in its own pouch. I have it set up so that by just removing the front clips I can still take off my seat as well without having to remove everything.

The only issue I have is that the buckles it comes with are unique - they have rounded ends and you can't order more separately. I would like to use it for multiple bikes -- I will probably end up trying to make the buckles by shaving some square ones to get it to work on the other bikes so I don't have to remove the clips.

I thought it looked a little gray in the picture, maybe I was looking at that GPZ

The gray look is probably due to the flash from the camera -- but it is black.

There is a top pouch as well I didn't mention -- I use that for ear plugs - sun glasses etc.

how does it ride when it's extended /max capacity.

does it wobble around ? seems like with only the 4 base mounts it might get top heavy ?

does it have inner support ?

it does appear to be a good size...but as with my concerns listed above i have a tendancy to over pack/weight my luggage. (i'm working on slimming things down)

regardless of weight i definitely need everything to stay put when i'm getting my KOokaloo on !

Kookaloo!

I haven't had it at max capacity but it doesn't wobble around. It has a flat base that is attached to the bag and that keeps it stable and in one place. It is rubberized on the bottom so it doesn't slide on the seat. I know what you mean though - the last one I had always seem to lean to one side --- this one doesn't and that why I decided to share.

It does not have inner support but the sides you see are a hard plastic that keeps it also from flopping around and gives it the side wall strength to keep its shape. When this is empty is keeps it shape due to the plastic sides. It also protects the contents from being squished.

I found them for 47 bucks not including shipping or for 60 bucks with shipping either way it came out to 60 bones.

You could pack this one to the brim without any concerns -- I will be for this years WCR.
