This is a photo of the bike B/C (before Caribous) The tailbag is called just that and is available from Twisted Throttle. The airbox bag is from Held and is mounted on a BMW Gas Cap mount that required careful positioning and drilling of the airbox.http://bcdaum.smugmug.com/photos/241634597-Th.jpg This picture is a close-up of the tailbag(it was specifically designed for the BMW R1100S.http://bcdaum.smugmug.com/photos/241634624-Th.jpgT his is a closeup of the Airbox Baghttp://bcdaum.smugmug.com/photos/241634648-Th.jpg These next photos are of the Buell A/C (after Caribous).This is the right side Caribouhttp://bcdaum.smugmug.com/photos/241634671-Th.jpg This is the left front of the Caribou.http://bcdaum.smugmug.com/photos/241634688-Th.jpg This is the back side. Roger has designed a superior product here, and anyone looking to put bags on their ULY should look no further . Obviously I still don't have this photo posting thing down as well as I thought I did, but the photos are there.

Those mini pictures are too small for my 45 year-old-rk-corrected eyes!

Hey Bob,

Glad to see that you got a ULY. I'll have to ride down to the shop and check it out someday.

Bcdaum,
Cool tailbag. It looks like a nice addition for when the wife insists on bringing the kitchen sink. Where did you get it? How much was it?

Frank,

I am here all weekend due to my vacation starting next Friday, so come on down.

Ulyganfreedom,

The bag is sold by twisted throttle at www,twistedthrottle.com. I don't remember the price but it was reasonable. What is this "wife" thing you are referring to?

Bob

Nice Bob... I am about to order some Caribou's myself. They look at home on your Uly
Oh, and as to the wife thing... just because your sleeping alone doesn't mean your not getting any action!

+1 For the Caribous, very rugged, robo looking and lockable. (1520's on a City-X)

Thanks for posting the pics!

Here is a link to the gallery:
http://bcdaum.smugmug.com/gallery/4140532#24163459 7

Is that the $160 Rearbag at:
http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/9 21/96/?
It looks like it would work fine 2 - up. I am totally in the market for something like that - large, leaving room for a pillion and replacing the back-rest function of the beaver tail.

Atoms,

That is indeed the bag, and it does work very well.
