I've been using a Cortech Sport tail bag since I bought my GZ250 4 years ago. I soon realized that the (Suzuki?) saddle bags were woefully inadequate. The tail bag bungees on securely and has little pockets for the hooks when you take in off the bike. Plenty of room for paper, work appropriate shoes, lunch, etc. I carries like a briefcase and even comes with a handy shoulder strap (I've never used it, though).

Oh yeah, I saw the pictures of your bike and the Cortech bag you're using. I'm thinking that might work well for me...I bookmarked the page on the newenough website. You don't worry about the bungees coming loose? I've heard that regular old bungee cords can lose their elasticity and snap while you're riding...not sure if this is a safety concern or not? My dad saw a guy on a bike once who had a jacket tied down to the back of his bike and a sleeve came loose and got caught up in the wheel! :shocked:
