RE: [ST] accessories

[Craig Tate <craigtt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,
I bought the same bag that Nate bought.  The price is outrageous, but it's 
a great bag - I'm very pleased.  I've used Eclipse bags on other bikes and 
was happy with them as well, but the Triumph bag fits the ST perfectly, is 
very well made, is well secured to the bike, is expandable, has a 
detachable map pocket, separate internal pocket (for wallet or small 
items), an attached rain cover, and, most importantly, has a gas tank 
filler hole on the pad.  The loaded bag is stable and secure on the bike at 
110+ (although I think Triumph limits it to around 80, or so).  I had mine 
stuffed on a SaddleSore 1000 - It rode well and allowed quick 
refueling.  Despite 3 hours of rain, the bag contents were absolutely 
dry.  Although some complain about their chest hitting the bag, this is 
just a function of bag and rider size and reach and will happen with all 
similarly sized bag/rider combinations.  I use this to my advantage by 
resting on the bag during long distance rides.
