Sissy Bar Bags
I am planning an extended trip and will need some extra storage space. I have an '08 FLSTC which already has some nice saddle bags but I will need more space. I am considering Saddlemen's S3500S Deluxe Sissy Bar Bag. Anyone have these and care to give their opinion? Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

What ever you get make sure they are waterproof.I have a similar set up to that and you can pack it full.and strap a tent to it or under it.

So far my T-Bag has served me well. I would recommend them.
When I'm solo I flip the bag around so it sits on the passenger pillion.

I dunno, but I think they should fire the marketing guru that came up with the name T-Bag.

I had a set of bags from Road Gear that I used on my '03 FLSTCI which I really liked. (Sold the bags on e-bay right after I sold the bike...sorry!) They were very similar to the T-Bags shown above, only not quite as expensive. They came with a waterproof liner, so you didn't have to worry about your stuff getting wet. I used them several times to pack enough gear for two people for a week with no problem! And the roll bag is set so that you can use it without the bottom bag - it has a sleeve on it that you slide over your sissy bar's backrest, clip on a couple of retaining straps, and you're good to go!
Between the saddlebags and a sissy bar luggage set, you'll have more than enough cargo space!

Agreed! I still can not help but chuckle when hearing the name.

I also have the T-Bag and have been pretty happy with it.

I've got the Sac bags from HD the smaller one comes with a waterproof liner. I've used them in some bad rain never got my stuff inside wet ,but I always start out with a big black plastic bin liner then pack my clothes in other plastic bags inside.

Finally got a chance to try them on. I think they look really good and match the stock bags great.
