Default F4I luggage

I'm looking for something like a tailbag that will hold at least a 6 pack. Anyone have any success with a specific bag/case that won't break the bank?

Not a big fan of the tank bags FWIW

Thanks

No advise on tailbags other then they are butt ugly on streetbikes.

I got a great mountainbiking backpack from Walmart for under $20 and it holds an 18 pack perfectly. Has thick shoulder and back pads, a waist clip and is fairly aerodynamic.

Here's the same exact pack at Target for a crazy price of $60

I would think your brews would get too fizzy riding in a saddle bag or tail bag.

p.s. end of day bored at work. and now you got me thinking of beer

Unless you're always solo, get a rack for the tail. Depending on your choice, they can
look pretty clean. That gives you the option of a soft-side or a clip-mount trunk.
Personally, I like the security of a trunk. I'm sporting a GIVI setup on my F3.
I just pop it on when momma wants a breeze, or it I need to carry something.

A backpack has always worked for me. Mine can hold 24 16oz cans if I take the time to nicely stack them in there. Ive also balanced a case on the tank between my arms, just made sure I kept my elbows touching both sides so it didn't slide off. Risky but it worked. A six pack should be a piece of cake.

y, the backpack I've used in the past sucked, mostly because it's a pain in the *** to get on and off while wearing my cortech jacket.

thanks for the other suggestions, I'll look into them.
