Was just wanting to post, I ordered one of the 91210-04Y tail bags from Daves. I've used it 3 or 4 times so far and really like it. It gives a small bit of storage without being too big. It gives me enough room for a small air compressor, phone, couple of power bars and a pair of gloves, with a map on top. It could hold more but I don't want to overload it. It says to not load more than 2.5 lbs in it. It is easy to take on and off and seems to hold in place very well...
I also got an 'elite seat sack' from luggagelocker this spring.(I believe that was the model). It attaches about the same as the Buell bag. It is about 3 times bigger and well made, as is the Buell bag.
Comparing the two: the luggage locker is probably made a bit better while the Buell bag fits the bike better, ie the bottom of the buell bag is concave to fit the seat while the luggagelocker is flater. The Buell bag also looks better installed imo...The luggage locker could possibly rub on the tail section if loaded heavily while the Buell bag is unlikely too...
I would recommend both, the main difference being the size difference. The LuggageLocker was approx. $150 while the Buell bag was a bit less than $70...
