Not sure the link will work cos I'm doing it on my phone, but if you go on eBay and search firebolt pillion pack it's the only result.

Anyone used 1 and know if they're any good? Looks like it could be quite useful.

Cheers.

Seen those and considered one for my 1125CR, but they only hold about 8 litres.

Better option, at least for me, was the Kriega US10

Can you still use the seat though? Or have you got to take the whole bag off to use the rear seat?

If it was empty, then you could just sit on it, I suppose.

But I think it is designed to be removed, before a passenger gets on.
When empty they fold/roll up quite small.

Anyway, passengers are worse than luggage on the back of the bike. Tell them to get their own. :)

Mrs C has a Kriega 10 & 20 for her Street Triple and it's a fantastic piece of kit and properly waterproof. The added benefit that it can be used on pretty much any bike.

Yeah I have the US10 - got it with an Almax lock I bought. Good bag and can attach onto my R25 rucksack.

I had the Buell tailpack and it was kind of crappy. I have the tankbag which is better and the soft panniers which are OK. In fact, I had the whole set. But I sold the tailpack to help pay for a new stator.

So it would have been nice to have the whole set, but instead I use the US 10.
