Well we have two Strykers, but neither of us wants to add saddlebags. My wife has a solo seat and I don't have or want a sissybar. So...does anyone have any good suggestions for some type of backpack that would be good for a weekend trip?

If I could find a quick detach saddlebag without any type of distracting side brackets I wouldn't be opposed. I would rather just put them on for a trip.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is a lot of nice bags out there designed for bikes but just so you can see what is possible here is my test ride to see what my bike would hold. This is two suit cases with wheels stacked on top of each other strapped to my seat, no sissy bar.

Toby, you are the man!

Did I mention the little dog went with us too? Had him in a little carrier on my shoulder resting on my tank but decided that might leave a mark on the tank so we strapped on the back seat of my wife's bike on top of her bed roll
Did 400 miles 2 days.

Please don't start a thread about which type of hairbrush is best.

Hahaha that was funny. Wife wont go anywhere without her Swiss Army Knife though. Says it's the best. The only thing it's missing is a hairbrush.

I have the ultra and daily tour bags. They work well together. I packed enough stuff for five days in them. Good backrest as well.

Nice.
