    Looking for recommendation on a bag to put on stock (I think) GS1100E rear rack

    I'd like something simple and inexpensive to fit on the back of my GS1100E. The base area is small, only 6" wide x 7" long. Maybe something like this Tourmaster, it's local. I will call about it, wants $60 hmmm, not sure how it attaches or the size, not much description on it.

    No clue what you're using it for nor size of the one you,ve found. Just say'in, my GSX1100G rack is 8" wide and 6" front to back, with an attached 6" tall back rest. My 6" X 6" x 8" insulated bag fits perfectly, completely snug and stable with 1 bungee cord. Easily holds 4 20 oz. drinks, a couple of packs of Eat-O-Snax (snack crackers) and insulin & syringes. Dang, it sure looks like your rack could have easily been appx.3" wider if they'd have just put the rails near the outer edge.... Good luck.

      I just want it to hold small stuff, trip to store for drinks or whatever, probably get some small one off Amazon but wanted a bit more simple/vintage look. Yep, the platform mount area is tiny.

        Yes, that looks to be a stock rack!

        I use a Nelson-Rigg commuter bag on my passenger seat for all my essential items. (tire kit, compressor, tools, etc.) They make 3 different sizes and range from $119 to $159 each with a lifetime warranty. Right now they have a 25% discount using "labor2024" code.

        When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png

          Norm had this post about his N-R tail bag recently. Seems like good quality and good customer service.
          Gotta give a shout out to Nelson-Rigg! I bought one of their commuter series tail bags about a year ago. Had an issue with a zipper pull breaking and they sent me 2 zipper pulls at no charge. :D Fast forward to about a month ago........While chasing a couple of GSR hooligans in the Farmington, Missouri area,:D I had a zipper

            When did you get an 11E? What year? I fondly remember your 11EZ turbo, just getting over the loss.

            2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                Good tail bag...I have the "Lite" model, (smallest one), on my Speed400.

                  Red AND blue? I thought '83s were red OR blue.

                    2 bikes, one red, one blue. Here is red. Blue is in boxes but similar and complete.

                      I just ordered the Lite one. It's small but it will suit my needs and should fit well. Will see tomorrow.
