Greetings, Blasters. Riding season in Michigan is not far away. The link below shows the bag that would best fit my needs. I have not yet put any luggage on my Blast. How could this bag be attached for quick removal?

I have something similar. (Not Cortech). The bungees hidden in the side panels run to the rear footpeg mounts. Mine has an adjustable strap at the rear that loops under the rear sub-frame.
I can't tell if your's has the same straps/bungees etc' but that is how i fit the one I have.
Good Luck!

Should fit. Tailbags are very easy to fit on just about anything.
Tourmaster is also one of the few that has tankbags with straps (most are magnetic).

Do you think its possible to get the bag mounted so it doesn't wobble much?

Once you fill it up it's easy to "cinch" the footpeg straps tight.

Titusand, you should be good to go, I used a snowmobile tank bag, I rivited the detachable strap ends to the tail section and it worked great and didn't look too bad either.


OK
Joke,

Lawyers are like assholes....everybody has one....


Don't get mad, the only lawyer I love is my wife.

wait whats this swampy. WIFE? I must have missed something. I really neeed to start coming back on this site more often.


I can agree the setup swampy had with the snowmobile bag looked like it belonged there.

Great trunk for the Blast. Just as Brichri10 says, front straps hook right to the frame by the rear footpegs and rear straps right to the rear of the seat. I can have my bag off the bike in 2 seconds. and it holds a ton, plug my hat straps right on top. You will love it! My only criticism would be that the black faded quicker than I would like, but the hot sun tends to do that. Even my high-viz vest has faded.

@themagster, Mine won't fade nearly as fast as yours.... I can't ride as much as you!
