Product Notes
Kuryakyn Soft Sissy Bar Bag
At $38.99, this Kuryakyn soft sissy bar bag is the easy choice for a rider who wants to spend less. It's listed as used with a condition scale of 8/10, and the description says it is in good usable shape with only light sun fade. The universal fitment group means it can be considered for a range of touring setups, and the soft roll design is easy to handle when you're loading or storing it. The main limitation is the used condition: you're buying a bag with visible sun fade, so it won't have the clean look of a new product. If you're comfortable with that and want a lower-priced roll bag, this is worth considering.
Motorcycle Sissy Bar Bag with Waterproof Cover
At $106.99, this 30L bag is built for riders who need serious cargo capacity and weather protection. It comes new, and the title highlights a waterproof cover, which is a solid reason to choose it for longer trips. The description mentions mounts for a tail rack, rear seat, or sissy bar, and it can also be used as a shoulder bag or handbag. Multiple compartments help keep gear organized, and the Oxford and PVC materials point to a bag made for road exposure. The limitation is the higher price and the size: a 30L bag is bulkier than a compact roll bag, and it may be more than you need for a short day ride. If you want a new, weather-ready touring bag with real storage, this is the one to buy.
Final Choice by Use Case
For a simple, no-frills soft bag, go with the Kuryakyn. For a more feature-heavy touring bag, go with the Motorcycle Sissy Bar Bag.
