Neat and Inexpensive Tail/Seat Bag

[Shift-E]

Mine came in a couple days ago! I got it for 16 bucks. Expected delivery was late July, and i got it June 9th. Pretty impressed haha.

The bag itself is great, and loads of storage space for mostly anything I need. Even a convenient pocket on the inside to hold your ownership/insurance papers.

I see what ShowBiz says about the straps. They are a little long, however I just tied the ends in knots so that they were not flapping in the wind. Elastic is a nice touch for a clean install, but I'm not about to do some sewing lol. I see you used all 4 attachment points too. I just used the squeeze clips so that I could pop the bag off that much easier and carry it with me if I need to.

@ Buddha, I just liked the idea of small, stretchy straps rather than super long nylon ones.

@ Shift-E, I think they made the straps that long cuz they figured people would wrap them around the whole tail of the bike rather than just under the seat maybe... idk lol... and yeah, I made straps using all 4 clips they provided and I figured I'd use whatever configuration I wanted when the time came. Just included all 4 for the pics

Just as a point of reference, this exact same tailbag is available on Amazon with a brand name sewn on it for $29...

Very nice - and appropriately they have put the Gheydius as its poster child.
Cool.

They declined my $16.
They're being Buddh-ist.

I started at 14 i think, they countered at 17, and I countered at 16 and got it. Counter back at 16 and see what happens? lol

Did yours come with 2 straps with the hook style? Mine only came with one... and the shoulder strap has hook style too. Not that I really care because I'm using the squeeze clips anyways.

I'm trying to remember what it came with... I didn't pay too much mind cuz once I looked at the straps I thought, "No, I don't like these, I'mma make my own."

I believe you got the same straps as me tho. When I cut 'em apart I had 4 plastic hook clips, (two of one size and two a bit bigger) and the 4 squeeze clips.

I started @ 16. They said 17.99 and I refused it.
I'll restart @ 12 or something like that. Thanks man.

Wow, that was more beat-up than mine. Even more impressive. 
One day I hope know the skills required to turn it into something like yours. 

[ShowBizWolf]

Toner, have you scrolled thru my project thread? That might help get ya going in the direction you want. And anything you have a question about, I'd be happy to answer! Love the colors on your GS btw Yours is newer than mine though right?

I think I pissed off that seller, they stopped responding to my offers.
However I bought this one -
