Q Bag Tailpack


Recommended Posts

I have just bought this Tailpack from Sportsbikeshop and for 15 quid it's excellent value. It's a semi rigid construction, 5 litre capacity. It attaches to the bike via straps on the zip on zip off base. Inside is a small net pocket and a padded hold down bar. I'm not sure it's waterproof but I'll give it a spray with waterproofer anyway and I also bought one of those large black shower caps that I use on my small tank bag as a rain cover. Only time will tell how rugged it is, but for now I'm happy with it.

Thanks for this post. By strange coincidence I was looking on that same shop website at this same tail bag tonight! I only have a YBR 125 but need a way to carry my lunch and other stuff to work and I don't want to use a rucksack. Bought my bike secondhand and it has nice GIVI panniers but they are overkill for commuting. I was looking at that exact bag but wasn't sure if I should get it but now after reading your post I will give it a go. Looks perfect for my daily requirements. Thanks :thumb: !

Here are a couple of pictures of the bag on the bike. Sorry about the shaky pictures but it was cold in the garage and I must have got a shiver on.

My Q Bag arrived today and it is really good for the price. The straps are too long though once it is fixed to my rack. Not sure if I can cut them as they might fray, so I had to tie them up to stop flapping about, but for 15 quid it is a bargain. I just tested it and I managed to bring 6 cans of Newcastle broon ale home from the local beer shop. Good product but I might get a Kriega when I can save up for one as this bag doesn't look very waterproof.

A friend of mine has one and he assured me it was waterproof.

I went for a ride with a couple of mates today as the weather was fine and sunny, however the weather forecasters got it wrong again and we found ourselves in a bit of rain. This wasn't stair rod type rain but it did get heavy for a few minutes and when I got home I had a feel around in the bag and everything was dry, so far so good. I would like to be out in more substantial rain before I give my seal of approval, but it's looking good so far.

Cut the straps and run a flame across the end to stop it fraying :thumb:


PS leave a little so you can fit on another bike in the future

 

Thank you for the tip Stu, I will get me scissors and matches out tomorrow and sort it out. It is a great wee bag for the price!

When you put a match to it it will melt and maybe set fire be sure to blow it out :lol:


Don't touch it till its cooled either as the molten fibres will stick to your fingers and it really burns!! don't ask how I know!

No worries Stu. I have done similar to bits of caving rope that I have needed to cut. I know what you mean about touching it when it is hot and sticking to one's fingers.. that hurts! I just did not think about cutting the straps on this pack but I guess it is a similar material to my caving rope so I will give it a go. Cheers :D

I've thought about buying one of them but 95mm isn't deep enough.

need something a little bigger like this one but not at that price...
