Hello all,

Sorry, I know that this has been asked before and I did try a search, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

What is a good storage bag/cargo bag or sack or whatever that is good for our F4i's. I have the 2004 with the banana seat and I will be carrying my books for school (probably about 3 or 4 books), some shoes and my lock.

I have a medium backpack and it is usually filled to the brim with all of my belongings and I didn't want to have two backpacks (one for on my back and one for being strapped to the rear seat).

Also, if you are going to tell me to get full-coverage insurance, I already have full-coverage. I know I am probably too insecure, but that is just how I am.

Thanks for any recommendations.

 

Tank bag maybe?

 

A big enough backpack should do you just fine. My boyfriend has this one:

While he's not carrying books, it fits everything he needs for his photography business on weekends plus has space for his helmet.

 

wITH COLLEGE i USED saddle bags and a tank bag.

 

I use a smallish backpack and a tailbag. I have two sizes of tailbags. Both attach with bungees, have a waterproof cover and a net over the top. I also have a magnetic tank bag, but I never seem to use it much.

I do a lot of distance touring with this setup--like 1500 mile tours--and it has worked very well. Forces you to pack light.

What does insurance have to do with anything? haha

Do you want to be able to take the luggage with you when you get to school, like a backpack? If so, you should consider getting either a bigger, better backpack, or a good-sized tank bag that comes with a shoulder strap. I have the OGIO Tanker bag and it's huge, it would fit some books and shoes no problem.

If you don't need to carry the bags with you, a smaller set of saddle bags will do you well.

 

I'm wonderin the same?

 

Damn. thats a pack.

 

Full-coverage insurance = no need for locks (not in my book; its just what some people think).

As for the need for the bag to go with me, it is not a necessity, but I do take my bags in with me anyway. I was thinking of one of those chest looking bags that sit on top of the rear seat (the ones that kind of look like square cooler), but I don't know if they are big enough.

Here is what I am talking about:

Incidentally, this one is pictured with a banana seat F4i!

 

That one doesn't look big enough for books and shoes together. There are other bigger tail bags that should be, though.
