Default 01 f4i - recommendations for a rear seat/fender bag?

Looking for recommendations for a rear seat bag. Something that will make use of two posts that stick out the sides underneath the rear seat.

Looks like it would be a great place to secure something if it made use of those.

Most bags I've found on ebay just velcro or secure itself by wrapping it underneath the seat. If the lock were to come lose, then you would lose your bag, contents and rear seat.

If you really want to be hauling stuff around I would just use a backback.
Or you should get one of these

BTW: Have you ever tried to remove your rear seat when it is locked on...it's damn near impossible. I dont think you have to worry about losing your seat with something strapped on.

So these would work good. http://www.rka-luggage.com/A03%20Seatbags/rearst.html

Geckert, the guy is just trying to get some help. No need to make fun of him or sell him on a Harley. C'mon now help him out or don't post.

bossboy, how about these options? They tie right to those post thingies and can be used to haul clothing, or water.

The beauty of it is that it only takes 5 minutes! Then you can use them for the rest of the riding season.

Mostly I just use a backpack. I've got a small one and a large one for different sized stuff.

I run cortech bags - fantastic!

Once you are used to them they go onto the bike very quickly/easily.

New Enough carries them... and they're worth the money. I have:
- SPORT saddle bags
- Super 14L Magnetic tank bag (which is good for most people, I'd like bigger for longer trips)
- Tail bag (non-sport)

My one complaint about ANY soft luggage is the silly covers they provide. If you plan in riding in all weather then pack your clothes/electronics in plastic bags. I personally use kitchen catcher garbage bags in the side bags as they fit perfectly as a liner.

Here is a gallery of me putting the side bags and tail bag on:

And here is what it looks like fully loaded:
