    On my 865 Scrambler I have a Kriega saddlebag & a Kriega US30 on the rack or seat, depending if I have a passenger. (Kriega included an extra set of old style straps for the rack for free). Whether you want to pay that much is another thing. But they're well-made (10yr guarantee), 100% waterproof & very tidy + no more bungees. Worth a look anyway.

    Hi Mike. Triumph do a grille but you have to buy the bezel with it, which has the holes to pop the grille in to.

    I use a Wildman tailbag and as Altrider rack. If you look, be sure to notice the price difference in rack colors. The light silver is about 60 dollars cheaper! I can buy a lot of paint for that money. Both the rack and bag fit perfectly and serve me well.

    Blasted Phone, My post about the tailbag should have read Wolfman, not Wildman. Sometimes my telephone takes over what I type. A case of the smart phone being smarter than the user?
