This on on eBay is super cheap provided you're willing to provide your own straps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115067034022?epid=171132671&hash=item1aca8799a6:g:tr4AAOSwcDZhea2Y

That price seems low for a name brand bag. Must be open box or return since there are no straps.
$75 more on Amazon with the straps. https://www.amazon.com/Saddlemen-3516-0109-Wide-Sport-Tunnel/dp/B0041QDVK0/ref=asc_df_B0041QDVK0/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309798558622&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3186296159030704706&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013669&hvtargid=pla-571119711996&psc=1

Thanks again, everybody. I probably should have specified tail trunk, since I'm looking to carry everything but the kitchen sink. Here's a couple I'm considering:

I need to measure my old Tourmaster for comparison.

Good morning, Sarah.
Lordy, you always seem to get up early ... and you're in the CST! :bow:
Anyway, on the merits, maybe you should see this:

Seriously, Kathi and I find packing a challenge. Heck, even when going on short trips in a cage that we repeat frequently -- e.g., our monthly runs to Erie to see her dad -- we stand in our closet and agonize (OK, too strong a word, but it seems like it sometime :rolleyes:) over what to take. In the end, with our C-130 Honda Fit and a clothes bar, we basically ... erm ... take our closet and make the "what to wear today" decision in the hotel!
And, while I tease about Kathi taking three hair dryers and other "essentials" she wants to take on on motorcycle trips, I obsess over tools and other Guzzi-support items. I rarely need anything, and with some cable ties, a CC, and a cellphone, would probably be just fine, especially for the modest trips we take.
You and Doug seem to think nothing of transcontinental treks, so it's harder, thus your continuing quest for the Holy Grail of The Perfect Bag. To use Kentucky dialect ... "it ain't out there."
Seriously -- tho, that was -- based on my less needy looks for the same , your own solutions are probably about as good as they get. If you and Doug ever get this way, you are welcome to take your pick in the Moto Grappa's 24/7/365 "garage sale" of motorcycle luggage solutions. You'll also be helping clear out my shop of things I knew would answer the mail but failed for one reason or another! :wink:
Best,
Bil

I have learned over the years that if I am buying new, I am going to get waterproof soft luggage. Deploying and stowing the waterproof covers is a pain and they don't work perfectly, or take up room if they are thick enough not to be blown around.
Of course you could pack everything inside waterproof bags and just not worry about it.
I am not replacing what I currently own, so I do make sure everything is in waterproof bags.
