Nelson Rigg CL-1060-R Black Commuter Lite Motorcycle Tail Bag

This tail bag from Nelson Rigg fits on my 2022 Triumph Street Twin perfectly. When you remove the seat, two frame rails are exposed that work great for securing the straps. The bag is super secure and follows the lines of the Triumph seat well. It is roomy, expandable, well put together and comes with a rain cover. I’m very pleased with it. Mine is the Commuter Sport size. It’s not large enough to fit a helmet, but great for carrying spare clothes, toolkit, etc.

I bought this because it is one of the few tail bags that straps UNDER a passenger seat. No need to route straps down to the passenger peg brackets, license plate frame or any of that sloppy stuff. It's nice and clean, installed. I also bought a tank bag for my Honda CBR500R, a Cortech 12L one. It's just the right size, and it's very handy, but to my surprise, it is not the one that stays on the bike all the time, as it kind of ruins the lines of the bike. This one doesn't; it looks like it was made for the bike. The tank bag, I use for day trips or longer, along with this tail bag, and I don't have luggage hanging off the sides of the bike, into the breeze, wrecking the slick aerodynamics of a sportbike. The bag is big enough for a small grocery run. Two bottles of wine and a bag of frozen fried rice from Trader Joe's will fit in with it un-expanded. Zip the expansion open, and it accommodates a few more groceries nicely. Don't plan on that extra capacity though: if you're like me, you'll always think you can get more in it than you can, when you're in the store. The rain cover is awesome quality; quite sturdy and rubber coated on the inside, so it doesn't leak. Only problem is that it doesn't really fold down too flat and it stores in the zipped mesh pocket inside the top of this bag, which robs capacity. If you live in a dry climate, just take that rain cover out, and you'll be able to use more capacity. Otherwise, keep it handy, as the carbon-fiber-look panels on the top just soak up the rain immediately. Another thing that robs a bit of capacity is the fact that when you strap it down tightly to your seat, the bottom caves in a bit. The looser you strap it down, the more capacity you have. I'll keep this in mind. If I ever need just a smidge more room, I'll pop the passenger seat off with the key, then loosen the straps a bit, knowing the fact that the bag is stuffed will tighten it up again. The gray-ish piping around the top near the zippers is retro-reflective, and so is the lighter-colored material on the carry handle. The bag includes conventional tie-down straps, in case the seat-strap mounting isn't working on your bike. The zipper action is smooth, but you need to be pulling up slightly while zipping or unzipping or it kind of drags around the corners. Attached is a pic of it on my bike, just in front of the Givi rack. It looks even sharper without the luggage rack fitted. In case you're wondering, I don't think you'd get away with the larger size, if you have a sportbike; it would really be spilling over. This one is the right size for the small passenger seat on sportbikes, just as Nelson-Rigg advertises. Last reason I bought this is that it has a better warranty than Cortech. Lifetime no-hassle vs. 3 year or something. Would've been nice to have matching styles, but I went with the perfect application for each end of the bike. I didn't like the frumpy look of Nelson-Rigg's tank bags. They need to refresh their tankbag designs, but this tail bag is perfect.

So far it's great. I have a '11 Ninja 1000/Z1000SX. It's a big ole bike, so originally I ordered the touring bag. That was a mistake. Holy Man is that bag huge. I wish it would fit properly but there's just no way it would on this bike. The mid size bag is a perfect fit. It attached easily and so far seems secure enough. I'm a big boy and it's kind of a pain to lift my leg over but that's mostly my fault. Quality seems exceptional. The zipper has a nice action to it and the bag material is thick and heavy. I, like everyone else, wish there was a more permanent mounting solution, but realistically if someone wants to steal the thing, even if they can't get to the clips they can just cut the strap off. I'm also just not a huge fan of the pull to tighten design. It's tight enough, it isn't going to fall off, but I can't possibly get it 100% tight. It always slides back and forth. Not a big deal, but I do find myself pushing it back up as I'm riding. Storage is decent, but admittedly not as much as I wanted. I daily ride my bike 3 out of 4 seasons. Ideally I'd like to be able to do some minor shopping trips, which you CAN with this bag, but it fills pretty quickly. In my one photo, there is a small box of garlic bread and a half gallon of milk. There's room for more, but I would have liked to grab another gallon of normal milk too, and wasn't confident it would fit. Might have been able to squeeze everything in, but I didn't risk it. My duffle bag back pack that I used to wear (this is the hopeful replacement) would have easily fit everything. Design is nice. I like the way it looks. It definitely doesn't look "made for the bike" like some people say for some reason, but it certainly looks like a nice accessory. Overall, so far, I'm very happy with it. I think it's maaaaaaaybe a little expensive for what it is, but also I have Nelson Rigg's rain suit and it has been great, so I'm done paying a bit more for quality.

Fits perfectly on back of 2025 Honda Rebel 1100 SE. We added OEM Honda rack to back fender. Great product. Love how it expands for more items. Cant wait for more adventures.

This bag is exactly what I wanted, in pretty near exactly the dimensions to fit my back seat. The installation is straightforward and the quality of the bag itself is absolutely top notch. The rain cover is sturdy and the lid of the bag holds its shape, forming an additional cargo compartment all its own. It expands quite a bit and is a perfect complement to my sportbike's tank bag. The only down side of this bag - for me - is the quick release clips on the side. That means I can't leave this bag unattended anywhere...any rando can walk by, unclip it in seconds, and walk away with it. The best I can do is perhaps try to run a cable lock through it. There's a sturdy D-ring on the front and the handle on the back which could accommodate the cable. I'd have preferred that the bag would just attach securely to the seat and that's it, but I understand there are probably plenty of folks who would like to be able to detach it easily. Too bad there aren't two versions! But I'm really glad I bought this one. One bonus is the rain cover - it conceals the quick release clips on the sides. So if you need to leave the bike unattended for a short period, like to run into a gas station or grab some food, that's a good option.

Excellent Product Exactly as described.

Fast shipping, Item was as advertised and better...installed on my ninja with no effort, 10 min job...fit was perfect...low enough to easy leg-over when mounting the bike...collapsed it easily holds an insta-spare flat tire inflation can, bungees, vital tools, and the bag's rain cap...with room to spare....zippers lock with a small luggage padlock (not included)...extended it will hold 15 or so liters of space....tails well in the wind...secure mounting system, ....convenient to easily remove and carry with you by the built-in handle, or the supplied backpack strap...very pleased with purchase....one of those rare purchases that just hits the mark in Form, Fit, Function so well you have pride in ownership.

I use this on my 2021 yamaha mt07 and it fits perfectly! It will take some time and adjustments to tuck all the excess strap under the seat but once its locked in place it looks awesome on the bike. Great buy.

Nelson Rigg makes some of the highest quality motorcycle gear, and will stand behind it with their customer service. Absolutely nothing is perfect, but I cannot find much to fault with Nelson Rigg products. The tail bag I purchased was for a 2009 Buell xb9sx, which has the least amount of room under the rear section of the seat I have ever seen on any bike, but this bag works fine, very secure and I believe it looks like it was made for the bike. Reminder, this is a tail bag, not a suit case, it will hold necessities, which is why I purchased it. It does expand, and comes with a rain cover plus straps to convert it to a backpack. Certain motorcycles can be very limited to what you can use in the way of luggage, again, this suits my needs to a "T".

Excelente producto para llevar más cosas. Se amplía fácilmente y se instala rápido. Muy buena calidad y sirve para cuando uno va a ir solo ya que se anula el asiento del pasajero. Lo instalé en una NineT y para viajes cortos funciona y no se pierde la estética de la Moto.
