Nelson Rigg Cl-1060 Tailbag

[zmilin]

So the wife wanted a tail bag to use when the luggage wasn't needed. I can't say I didn't agree so the search began and based on features, size and price we (I) settled on a Nelson Rigg CL-1060. Found a killer price by doing an online search and scored it for well under retail (too bad a local shop dent have it, I would have bought it there).

Ive had NR bags before and they are very well made and last. Never an issue with any of them. With this bag I have one little con.
The tie downs are sewn to the upper part of the bag so that if it ever needed to be extended it would require loosening all four straps and letting them out. Had they sewn the mounts to the bottom portion of the bag it could be mounted and not worried about. I may take it to a local leather shop and have them relocate the mounts.

The fit is like it was made for the Bonneville. It takes up the back half of the seat just past the seat strap and is as wide and countered just about perfect. Ill let the pics speak for tehmselves.

Here are some pics.

In this pic you can see a small bag. Its part of the interior and holds the built in rain cover. Its accessed via a zipper on the outside of the bag and easily pulls over the bags if needed.
Theres also a nice velcro separator if needed or it can be removed.

Thanks for the post

It looks really good. Good find.

I have never seen anything like this and have no idea how it works so let me ask, does the pillion actually sit on top of it when in use

 

[zmilin]

No, it takes up the space for the pillion but your pillion passenger can hold the bag for you.

Ah this is what confused me when you said your wife wanted one and looking at it I thought you would not sit on it

I thought that at first too, but then I knew it was only for solo riding.
I always ride solo and have bought, used and sold a number of different tail bags and tank bags over the years, but each year they keep getting better and better.
This NR one looks especially nice and would be great for an overnighter (or two) on the Bonneville instead of fitting the saddlebags.

OK... I guess I should clarify... the T100 is the wifes bike and she wanted a tail bag for her stuff. I am simply her personal mechanic and advisor and get to break in her bike

Ah yes now that sounds a lot better

I have a small Triumph tail bag. It is big enough to hold gloves and my Frogg Toggs for local riding.

She was looking at that bag but didn't like that it had "tiger" on it.

Well, since I have a Tiger...
