Autokicker Valour-X Midi Tail Pack/Seat Bag for Motorcycles & Motorbikes

I was hesitant buying an inexpensive no-name tailbag. Overall, I'm glad I did.Bike: 2016 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto with Prerun Moto tail rack.The issues I had:Bag is wider than the tail at the tip of bike, so when you strap it down, it pulls on the bag & sucks it over the sides of the rack. To fix that, I cut out some thick plastic & put underneath the bag (like a mini table) to keep it flat.Also, when you strap the bag down tightly (as it should be), the placement of the clips makes it so the bag gets malformed & doesn't sit right. To correct this, I cut out some thicker plastic & reinforced the insides of the bag to make it stand upright. See pic.I wanted to use the straps in comes with, but in the end I knew I would rarely want to take the bag off, so I ended up using zip ties to secure it.After my redneck fixes, I went on a 200+ mile ride. Bag performed exactly how it should. I was happy. I've yet to test the waterproof part of the bag. But I'm sure it'll rain soon enough. I'll report back when it does.

Superb service from the supplier with extremely quick delivery.The bag is just the right size for the bits I need for work or those longer rides out. It fits snugly on the rear seat of my CBF with the straps in the crossed configuration (this helps to stop the bag moving). With the bag in its smallest configuration it easily takes the thermal liner for my trousers, a small flask, gloves and the bags waterproof cover. With the bag expanded I have sufficient additional room for a pair of size 9 shoes.The bag seems well constructed and certainly strong enough for my needs. The main zips have locking rings to take a small padlock, though since the bag is easily unclipped, seems a little pointless locking it (I never leave mine on the bike unattended and it has never come open when riding). Despite the ease of release, the bag is secure when fitted to the bike and has never given me any trouble (despite my attempts to try and kick it off when getting off the bike (forget its there sometimes, which is just how I like it)).If your are looking for a small tail bag with a little extra flexibility, you will not go far wrong with one of these.

First of all I realise this isn't an expensive bag but I thought I'd give it a go as the reviews were so favourable. It does feel a good solid bag when unwrapping. The material is thick and good quality and comes complete with the straps and a waterproof cover. Great. Sadly, what lets it down is the positioning of the anchor points. The bag is soft, not rigid remember so having the strapping points half way down the bag walls makes no sense. All it does is squash the thing down when you tighten the straps. This is then putting too much strain on the loops and the clips on the bag. All they would have had to do is attach the straps to the bottom and job done!Yes it will be handy for waterproofs and the odd flask/water bottle but I cant imagine it will hold anything heavy. The strain on the straps and plastic clips will just be too much. I can imagine it flying of going around a corner!!I cant help wishing that I'd spent another few quid and bought something from Oxford etc.If I have the time and inclination ill fit a rigid bottom, and fasten some luggage straps to the bottom.

Nice bit of kit. I didn't want a top box but I was sick of carrying my waterproofs in my rucksack. This fits my waterproof pants, size 5 XL jacket and overmits without needing to be extended perfect! Fits on the rear rack of my bike. (I initially fitted it to the rear of my seat but it was a little close to me). Build quality is great and I'm happy with my purchase.

Product as advertised, supplied with required fittings and option to expand and increase capacity is a bonus. Might be a challenge to fit securely to luggage rack on some machines dependent upon available holes and sufficient room to get clips threaded through. After much fiddling have managed to find a way to fit it to my BMW K1600 rack, but its a task to put on an off each time. Not tested for durability in rain with provided waterproof cover, time will tell.

This bag is fantastic just what it says on the tin, fits perfect, just right for the mountain trips on my KLX250. Fitted perfect to the rack and is used every day. Waterproof cover is great but need a bungie to hold it on but that's not a problem, great item thanks.
