Cockpit TailBag is a rugged water-resistant gear bag that secures inconspicuously below the Cockpit where your copilot’s tail hangs down.
The compact storage unit covertly provides approximately 2L of additional storage where it won’t take up space in your motorcycle luggage.
Placement at the motorcycle’s rear makes for easy access for items commonly used at rests stops or when gassing up.
Construction
Likewise, the water-resistant widemouth zipper across the full half-moon curve improves access to the contents and minimizes the entry of moisture.
Smooth vinyl lines the TailBag interior and a elastic-lined 3D mesh pocket extends across the upper surface.
Water-Resistance
The exterior is constructed of sturdy waterproof outdoor vinyl and is craftsman built to take enormous abuse.
In practice, the shell will not be fully waterproof due to the complex shape and presence of robust reinforced stitching.
Likewise, the active location near the rear wheel subjects your TailBag to considerable mud, dust, rain, and road debris while riding so do not use it to store valuable or delicate items.
Profile
A semi-rigid plastic plate placed between the outer and inner vinyl layers helps maintains the flat low-profile shape and prevents bowing or sagging over long miles of hard use.
The TailBag will extend approximately 1in | 25mm below the lower padded roll bar so check to ensure clear line-of-sight visibility of your taillight.
Installation
A U-shaped aluminum bracket is included with your TailBag for an simple secure mounting to your Cockpit.
To install:
- Place the U-shaped at the rear underside of your Cockpit with the open ends facing rear and the four bolt holes correctly aligned.
- Loosely affix the bracket with just a couple turns of the two bolts at the forward half of the mounting bracket.
- Slide the unit into position by passing the open ends of the U-shaped bracket through the corresponding channels along the top of the TailBag.
- Connect the rear pair of bolts to affix the open ends of the U-shaped bracket to the underside of the Cockpit baseplate.
- Tighten the four mounting bolts until the TailBag channels are firmly and securely clamped between the bracket and baseplate.
Craftsman built at saddlery workshops for rugged outdoor use, your Cockpit TailBag is an inconspicuous and clever new type of motorcycle ‘saddlebag’.
One that’s intended exclusively for your copilot’s use!
