$17 Tankbag Into a Tailbag!
 

Well I ordered a clearance tankbag fom New Enough for $17.

It was a stap down and looked like ass on the bike, hmmm what to do?

I know, I'll make it into a tailbag!:lol:

Plugged in my soldering iron and cut the straps shorter and burned in mounting holes. Then I bolted them to the passenger seat. I adjusted the other strap to the correct length to wrap around the tail and ta dah!!!

It won't be as fun riding behind her but whatever. :lol:


Seriously though good find and cool idea.

Good job. :dthumb:

The bike looks like a TLR now.

That's awesome.

I can't find a tailbag I like.

I need to become more MacGyver-esque with this stuff!

Yea or a 'Busa!:lol:

Have you seen the one that is a passenger seat cover and expands into a bag?

Passenger seat? :scratch: What's that? :lol

That one looks cool but I think I'd need something just a bit bigger. more along the lines of the one you MacGyvered.

I'm looking for something to replace a backpack for when I go on weekend trips.

Yea backpacks can get old quick!

I'll give you $16 for it since you wrecked the straps.

No I didn't... like all of those types of bags, they give you a mile of straps! There is still plenty left if I decide to use it for a tankbag in the future.:rockwoot:
