I am planning a long trip and am looking around for some riding gear. The first thing that i am looking for is a quality riding jacket. Another piece of gear that i am looking for is a bag that i can mount on the back seat for storage. If anyone is impressed with the versility with their equiptment please tell me before i start spend money.

Thanks everyone,
Bryan

 

Magnetic tank bag that expands and has a waterproof cover is good too. I've seen saddlebags too (universal style) that you may want to consider, as for specific brands...personal preference.

 

Thanks for the info. If there are any brand names that really stick out in crafsmanship please tell me because if i buy something i only want to buy it one time.

 

I bought a Nelson Rigg tank bag and I LOVE IT!!! I use it full time to hold my phone, wallet, owners manual, etc. Here is a page from the place I got mine.

For riding jacket, I use Joe Rocket Supermoto. It is perforated leather and breathes relatively easily (still hot at stops but leather always will be). I love it.

 

What do diffrent people like better and why? I see rear mounted bags and tank bags. I can see an advantage to the tank bag because you can lean on it to get some relief. I have only ridden a few multi hour trips with a back pack and that starts getting to you after a while. I appreciate all information.

Thanks everyone
Bryan

They have a nice assortment ofbags and packs. I have the swift hardpack in carbon finish and use it all the time. Highest quality hardpack I have ever seen. I would assume that their tank bags and trunk packs have the sameoutstanding quality and usability.
