Tail Bag : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

Toolman44092 · 06-25-2009, 11:11 AM

I'm looking for a tail bag that will strap under the passenger portion of the seat cushion so no straps are touching the paint. I doesn't have to be very big - just enough to carry a few items.

Does anyone know of such a bag? I don't want straps rubbing against the paint.

Thanks!

There are a ton of tail bags out there that strap under the seat. But I used to use an old black fanny pack wrapped around the rear seat on one of my old bikes. It was big enough to throw my wallet, keys, phone, a couple packs of smokes and a zippo but still small enough not to look like I had a backpack strapped to the passenger seat.

I've been hunting around, and I think I'm going with the Axio tail bag.

I have the Axio Hardpack Tail Bag I bought from newenough.com and I think it is perfect for the zx14. It fits the passenger seat perfectly straps on securely with the velcro straps ( mine has been on for a year now with no movement at all ), comes with a strap to carry on your shoulder and a net that hooks to the bag to carry a spare folded up jacket or something about that size on top, its not waterproof but I gotten it wet lots of times and nothing inside has been wet yet. It even has a little butt pad for support when you' re riding a little quicker than usual ( not that I ever do that ).

I got mine yesterday. My extra visor even fits in it, which I wasn't sure it would. It's tight, but I can get it closed. It seems to have a lot of room.

Not a good idea if its only velcro holding it.

I said support, not to keep me on the bike. I do realize its only velcro on it but its nice to be able to slide back against it at speed.

It's a securely mounted bag as far as not moving at high speeds. It's not meant to hold you on the seat at the drag strip. Common sense should apply.

Should apply but seldom does lOL
Looks good now all I got to do is convince the many manager at my house that I really need one

Its only $115.00 at newenough.com, which is the best price I found from anywhere around. Way better than a tank bag (not in your way and doesn' t scratch anything) and can turn into a shoulder bag if someone wants to ride with you.

Toolman44092 · 07-05-2009, 09:41 PM

I got it here for less than that:

I want one of these tail bags but I am not sure what color (silver or black)....I have a silver 08 14 with black powder coated wheels.....I want the silver one to match the bike....but is it the same color silver as the bike. Or do I play it safe and get the black?

Does anyone have the silver bag on a silver bike?

CSX4350 · 07-24-2009, 01:45 PM

I got one of these bags after reading this thread, but for the life of me I can't figure out how you attached the front straps. Can you explain or better yet post a picture?

TIA

Toolman44092 · 07-24-2009, 07:29 PM

The front straps are very long, so I looped one to itself and them looped the other through it and pulled it tight.

imrubicon · 07-26-2009, 04:09 PM

I have a black one on Bid at Ebay we shall hope LOL

CSX4350 · 07-26-2009, 04:30 PM

I got mine here ($107.95 with free shipping), I didn't find any deals on eBay:

Nice bag, looks small though. I use one of these on my ZX-11, but it straps down and would not suit your requirements.
